A little PSA to fellow learners of the Glasgow Coding Meetup https://glasgow.social : your AWS server free trial is probably coming to a close about now so make sure to decide what to do with your account. You will have been emailed ;) #codingfromscratch
Hope everyone is doing ok

It was nice to meet a load of new people at the last Glasgow Coding Meetup on Tuesday. Good job @neil for organising it #coding #codingfromscratch

I already linked the W3C course but this page on connecting to MySQL made me realise that other tutorials use different ways of connecting. It seems the GCM wiki uses the most modern approach with PDOs

At the last workshop there was debate on the best way to connect to a remote server on Mac, so I made a forum post http://glasgowcodingmeetup.freeforums.net/thread/9/connecting-server?page=1&scrollTo=18

It's dangerous to go alone, take this https://www.w3schools.com/php/

Everyone has a preferred text editor that connects to AWS in different ways. I don’t know them all but this maybe the PHPStorm docs could be a starting point:

The official reference manual for MySQL has a quite decent tutorial for the command line interface https://dev.mysql.com/doc/

Here are more specific tips on SSH, courtesy of the VSCode docs. Hope they help people https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh

#coding #codingfromscratch

Just wanted to share some success tips. My editor Visual Studio Code for Mac has a remote editing extension https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/download/ It works if you 'ssh-add' your key or do the "config" file setup. The link is a rabbit hole to tons more info 🐰

Just to tell people you can get remote editing plugins (extensions) for other editors, e.g. VSCode https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack

Just to say I stuck a post in the forum about some tips on SSH
