Right then people. I am getting tired of my lack of web development or design skills and want to get tooled up. I would like to learn the following:
Basic PHP
Enough to make applications that can call data from social networks. For instance, getting Facebook Open Graph data and Google Analytics into the same table. I can use XPATH, but it’s not much good for OG or GA.
Saying that, I’m not even sure PHP is strictly necessary, I’m curious though.
Data Visualisation (Design)
So I’m distinctly average to poor on a scale of poor to good on photoshop and other design tools. I’d like to be able to take said data (from above) and create reasonable infographics or presentations.
If you are awesome at either of these, and would like a student, then let me know. If you know someone who would be interested, let me know. I’m open to offers of skills trades and reasonable payment for tuition. As much as I’d like to learn code on my own, I don’t really know where to start.
I need to meet you in person, so you need to be London based!
Either leave a comment or hit me up at Mrjamescarson.
Another batch of students are about to enter the world of work (I am assuming they ‘chilled out’ over summer, though I am probably ‘out of touch’), but for those with a thirst for knowledge and a healthy dislike of the 9-5 world there is the Masters!
