Let's start with the basics. Before our Interns / Students start building the Google Search Engine, they need to know how to use basic programs as an developer. These tools do not only help teach you to build the platform, but also how to make changes or to find faults before you even launch it on the world wide web. So for those who do not know, we will cover the basics of using XAMPP on your device to setup your localhost server, as well as, using a simple editor like Visual Studio for example within which you will write your codes. Once you have these two items in place, then the fun can start to build your first real Search Engine. #Google #Learning #Internship #Search

Step 1:- You will learn how to setup Visual Studion (Your editor) to save the codes you create in the right folders. Plus do your first test code. As you can see in the displayed images, you will be able to display your written code via a php file directly in any browser. We will teach you some tips and tricks along the way and instead of being given a spoon-fed copy and paste of the code, we will ensure that you know exactly how to build this type of Search Engine and its functions on your own at the end. If you have not signed up for the Internship or Student program, then make sure you contact us as soon as possible to secure your spot.

Made a big decision in life and decided to enroll in the ECOSA Internship Program It can not hurt to learn a new skill that will also help me earn extra income for myself and my family. Love it !!!!

Step 2:- Like I said coding is a simple process of following the standard rules, it's like when you would are baking a cake. You need to follow the basic instructions, add the correct ingredients (functionality codes) and in the end you get the desired results. There will be no need to rush, plus as you code more and more, it will become clear which items all sites need to start with. Just like before you can drive a car it needs to be started. We will teach you how to start coding your first skeleton base code, why each part of the code is added and how they work. From this point moving forward, you will start expanding and coding the actual search platform main code. #learning #google #internship

Step 3:- Now that we have an understanding of how a page code get started, we can move on to the fun parts. Creating the placeholders and codes that will link up to the elements our front end users will see and use in the end. So a simple logo, search bar and submit button will be the first few parts we will teach you to create before we start shifting things around. #google #logo #search #internship #ecosa

So after a little conversation with a few Tech Giants and a little misunderstanding, I think it is time to show people what we can truly do. Now I could have done this in probably 60-90 minutes if I were to just code it straight, but I decided to do it slowly as I prepare material for our Students / Interns as well. So please understand if I publish this over a 7 hour coding period, between the electricity loadshedding we are currently facing within South Africa. Regardless of those little power delays, it will not delay what is published today, to show everyone why joining the ECOSA Team is the right step to make. #ecosa #learning #teaching

Step 4:- Now that you have the codes in place that will call your logo on your page, plus a search bar, we need to take a few more steps forward. We will take this time to teach you how to make this search active. Giving it the power to call the search term which is being entered. Then once the term is searched to display its results on a separate page. #Search_result #google

Step 5:- Now for those who do not notice small changes, we will let you know what we teach our Interns / Students next. This is the part where we make things pretty. Like someone putting on their make-up to change how they look within the public's eye. We will teach you to create the CSS part that will allow you to do many magical tricks. But just like baby steps, we have to start in the beginning. So we will teach you how to change the font type, to allow you the ability to make the displayed text any way you wish. Also how to change the text colors in a very simple manner. In our course we will stick to the basics and use the same font and color that Google has been using for years and you can then change this as you play around and build your own unique search engine site. #google #CSS #font #color

Step 6:- So when you build the content of your site it needs to be dynamic. Remember not every users that uses your platform has a device with the same screen size. So your content needs to be flexible and adapt to offer them the best displayed results at all times. We will teach you how to set your search engine main area to align horizontally and vertically in an automated manner as different users browse upon it. #google #content_adjustment #flexible_displays

Step 7:- The next little learning segment will focus on adding style and additional functions to the Submit Button. We will teach you how you can make the look change, the font and colors inside the button, even how to make the edges round. In addition to this we will show you how to change the hover features when a user moves their mouse over the button area to become a pointer icon. Plus illustrate what to do if you wanted to add an outline when a user clicks on the button or keep it hidden. #google #SubmitButton #styling #css
