Here is a nice introduction to Joomla CMS (content management system) made by Linda Watson on Vimeo.

This screen-cast will show you how to use ZEN theme in Drupal 5.x. ZEN is considered to be the best starting theme for Drupal because of it’s commented code and the abundance of documentation.

Screen-cast created by Drupal School.

I found a very simple video tutorial on how to use Memcache in PHP. Memcache is a general-purpose distributed memory caching system used mainly to speed up dynamic data-base driven websites.

Drupal’s Panels module helps the user to visually create customized layouts by dragging and dropping the content. It is a great help for beginners or by those that doesn’t like to get dirty with module development.  This screen-cast is made by BSideStudios (www.bsidestudios.com).

One of the most important contributed module that will help you build Drupal sites faster is Views module. The main porpoise of using the Views module is to display the content in certain ways that otherwise would have need a dedicated module. Views practically gives you the ability to sort list and tables (and almost everything in Views 2)  the way you want it sorted. In this video tutorial you’ll be taught the basics of building views in Drupal 6.

I started these series of screen-cast about different CMS because I think that most of you agree that this way of building a web application is in most cases the fastest way.

In this tutorial we will see how simple it is to implement a Photoshop Design into a drupal theme in about 5 minutes.

As you may already know, Joomla is considered to be the most used CMS (Content Management System) because of it’s ease of installation  and configuration. So, that is why I though about sharing this good introductory video tutorial about Joomla made by michiganmedia.

Today I found a very good video tutorial about Drupal. The guys from lynda.com made an introductory screen-cast that should be enough for everybody to understand the basics of Drupal. It will pass you through all the important aspects of installing, configuring, customizing, and maintaining a Drupal-powered website.

For this post we have to say “Thank you!” to shaalool for creating this nice tutorials and shared them on YouTube (btw he really does a good job and for sure we will come with more of his php tutorials).

Now, about regular expressions. What they are? How do they help us? How to use them? This is what you’ll learn from this series of tutorials. Regular expressions can help us very much if we have to find different portions of string in a bigger context. If we have a pattern for those string than we can make a regular expression that we will use in our search.

Lets say you want to take all the names in a html table that has thousands of rows with names and push them into an array for later use. You would have to strip it and trim it and a lot of methods to take the html code out. If we would use a regular expression than all we have to find is only the pattern that we have to use.

All this will be explained in this video tutorials.
