====== Meeting Notes: Tue 11th June 2019 ======

Welcome!  This is the notes page for our first learn-to-code-from-scratch meeting in The Avalon Bar.  The plan is to run something like this every two weeks to get people up and running with basic web development and system admin.

Next meeting is [[2019-06-25|Tue 25th June 2019]].

See the **[[Getting Started]]** page for some step-by-step instructions you might need tonight.

==== Scratch Space ====
I'll use this area for temporary notes we can all access - you can view the history [[https://coding.openguide.co.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=2019-06-11&do=revisions|here]].

Enter this:
<code>
sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu /var/www/html/
cd /var/www/html/
mv index.html old.html
</code>

This is just an example of a tiny PHP program (don't enter it directly):
<code>
<?php
echo "Hello, world!";
?>
</code>

Enter this (which'll dump the above code into a file called 'test.php':
<code>
echo "<?php echo 'Hello, world!'; ?>" > test.php
</code>
