What is Parallax?

What is Parallax?

You can think of motion parallax as what you see when you look out of a moving train. Bushes right alongside the train tracks will zip past your view, while cattle grazing in the field will appear to move more slowly across your view and the mountains in the background will hardly move at all. Parallax has particular relevance to astronomy. Not only because sci-fi movies use the effect all the time to create cool space effects, but because this effect is how we measure how far stars are away from our own solar system.

WHY LEARN PHP

PHP - Dynamic websites 101

WHY LEARN PHP

http://www.killersites.com/PHP/index.php

PHP is probably the most popular web scripting language used today. PHP is popular because it's easy to learn and use - generally PHP makes life more exciting. Now that I’ve said that, I guess I should actually give you a reason or two to learn PHP!

1. You will be able to do all kinds of neat things like process HTML forms, send mail from a web page, talk to a database et cetera.
2. You will become a much more valuable person! Besides your web design skills, you will now have what is called ‘server-side programming’ skills – in this case, knowing PHP.

As depressing as it may seem, programmers usually are higher up on the totem pole. In other words, knowing how to program will put you in a higher bracket than people who only know web design.
