A Special Thanks To BuzzTouch

Hello BuzzTouch World, It's been a while since I've been on the forums, my journey with code over the past year and a bit has been a roller-coaster, and I continue to love every bit of it. I had a very basic background in programming from school when I started on BuzzTouch, and I wanted to build apps for Android and iOS. As we all know, BuzzTouch has been a blessing and a half in that regard alone. It wasn't just the way they make things easy to learn, it's the community that supports you and encourages you to code. One day I was checking out the forums and @GoNorthWest, a Guru amongst Gurus, posted a link for learning some programming languages to www.CodeAcademy.com. I checked it out, and was hooked to their lessons. I soon realized that I loved web design as much as app development, and I conceived my company AppSmart Business Solutions. It's based in Kingston, Ontario, and is currently focusing on web design, but also has an app that's in the works that built for local businesses. We're still a young company but I believe that BuzzTouch (and I mean everybody in the community) has given me, and pointed me to, the tools I need to start my true career and flourish. Thanks everybody! Cheers, Khalid Bashar Owner & Developer AppSmart Business Solutions www.appsmartbiz.com [email protected] 1(613)483-3797

I love Codecademy! It is very focused on web skills, but the best way to learn to code. Another good learning tool is the HeadFirst PHP and MySQL book.
