| "PHP PDO, Custom Exception Handler, Namespaces for E-commerce" |
| "This is the 3rd add-on series to our main E-commerce website with PHP, MySQL jQuery and PayPal course. In this series we will convert our old database class to the new, PDO wrapper class with all necessary methods to run our system using prepared statements and transaction methods to perform more complex operations. We will also create a Custom Exception Handler for those exceptions, which haven't been caught within the try / catch statement. The Exception Handler will display a different message based on whether the site is in the production or development environment - to ensure that our visitors don't see any sensitive information should any accidental exception be thrown while they are browsing our online shop. We will make use of the namespaces - introduced in PHP 5.3 in order to distinguish between our core classes and any external libraries we might add to the system. We will replace the previously used PHPMailer with the Zend Framework 2 Mail component. This will give you a good understanding of how useful namespaces are when working with different libraries. Associated titles: Build E-commerce website with PHP, MySQL, jQuery and PayPal Static Urls, Meta tags and Re-send activation for E-commerce series (1st add-on) Shipping address and Shipping cost for E-commerce series (2nd add-on) Buy whole series and save money"

| "VB.NET with VS 2017 and Windows Forms" |
| "Most Important Thing: Please take the time to watch the free preview videos so you can be sure my style of presentation, the pace of presentation, and the overall feel of the course are truly what you are looking for.Who should join:0. This is a course for those who are willing to push themselves. It's not a ""basic"" introduction that gives an overly simplified perspective on VB. In places, this code connects to the .NET framework, which is a professional level code base written in C#. My promise is simple: take this course, and you'll discover details not taught in any other course. Speaking from experience, I can tell you that it is through consistent, daily effort, and I don't mean little effort, but whole-hearted effort, that one makes progress when it comes to these technical subjects. That's what years of struggling have taught me. 1. This course uses the latest preview version of Visual Studio 20172. This course jumps into aspect of object oriented programming early so you can see real VB as soon as possible. a. This does not mean that every aspect of OOP is covered immediately b. It just mentions enough OOP to see what's needed to make reasonable progress3. This course provides detailed explanations, so please be sure you enjoy fine detail before enrolling4. If you are looking for fast, superficial explanations, and five minutes videos, this course will NOT help you5. There are videos on what happens in your computer memory and how the .NET Framework and C# connect to VB.NET6. When I delve into the .NET Framework source code, you will also see C# in operation, and therefore the code will be complex. 7. Clear, crisp audio done with a studio microphone8. Review questions are now embedded directly into the videos at different points, and there many of them in the videos9. You will not see videos on things like printing 1,2,3,4,5 using a loop because this has little practical value10. You will see more practical videos on things like using loops to read files/write files 11. The videos are straightforward code examples, with no talking head or distracting graphics12. Some of my explanations step through the code line by line using the debugger, so if you are impatient, this likely will not work for you13. There is a text editor project on the bottom14. You also learn about the practical implications of polymorphism and interfaces15. I also show you how to use a variety of features in Visual Studio 201716. You can adjust the playback speed on the player very easily to 0.5, 0.75, 1.25,1.5 and 2 times the regular speed so you can learn at a pace that truly works for youWho Should Not Join:1. People who want to learn VB.NET through console programs2. Those who are not ready to be exposed to object-oriented programming3. People who want five minute videos would not be the right fit for this course4. People who do not enjoy detailed explanations would not be the right fit for this course5. People who do not want to answer review questions would not be the right fit for this course6. People who are not willing to do whatever it takes to push their skills higher"

| "Dysfunctional Families & How to Be a Better Parent" |
| "Dysfunctional families cause children to become dysfunctional which results in dysfunctional adults, marriage, and society. Most of the abuse, chemical dependence, and violence in the world can be traced back to this problem. If we learn how to make our families healthier these problems can dissolve. The first section of this course teaches what shame bound dysfunctional family rules are and how these rules are perpetuated. The shame/control/ release addictive cycle is delineated. Alternative healthy family rules are offered. Poor parenting causes children to lose heart and become discouraged. They have a tendency to either give up or become defiant. They later replicate how they were treated and the cycle of dysfunctional families continues. The second section of this lecture teaches how children think differently than adults in many ways although they are also quite similar. It describes in detail the principles of healthy and unhealthy parenting."

| "All about NodeJS" |
| "About this CourseNodeJS is a platform that allows developers to write server side high performance and networked applications. And that too using good old Javascript. But wait ! Isn't Javascript meant to be used for forms and stuff on web pages ? Well that was 10 years ago. The world has gone from 'Oops! You've not filled up the form properly !' days to today's modern web apps and social media sites that rely heavily on Javascript. Google Apps, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and LinkedIn, being handful examples of this movement. And to think that this quantum leap would not have been possible without Javascript is not an overstatement. Today, when you socialize with your friends on Facebook, or use your Gmail inbox, you're running thousands of lines of code written in Javascript, in your browser. With Node JS, you can take this knowledge back on the server, where usually you would expect to see the likes of PHP, Ruby, ASP dot NET etc. But that's only a small portion of the reason why NodeJS is so cool. The fact that you can write full blown networked applications (think chat servers, collaborative tools, real-time data visualisation apps) with just a few lines of code is more than reason enough to not only look at NodeJS, but deep dive into it ! But I know PHP ? Why should I learn NodeJS ? Well, for starters, learning something new never hurts. But most importantly, learning NodeJS is great because : Node allows you to write highly scalable networked apps deployed on the cloud ! You're working at a different level of application design per se with Node and that means that you're not writing an app that sits on top of a stack, you design the stack from the server up. And while that may sound daunting, it really is not and you'll see why. You code in the same language, both on the server and on the front end ! We're all polyglots (we use multiple programming languages and syntax in most of our projects), but managing code in the same language on the back-end and the front-end never hurts and in-fact can be a huge time saver when debugging. NodeJS is used by the likes of LinkedIn, Yahoo and Microsoft to name a few. Its pretty new and consequently you gain advantage from the exponentially growing community of NodeJS & Javascript developers and that's great fun, really ! If you've been coding in Javascript, you can leverage your existing knowledge and skills and take it to a whole new level ! The Real ProblemSo, NodeJS sounds pretty interesting so far, but what really hit me in the face when I was learning all about Node was the fact that, with any new platform, framework or technology, you need to take baby steps, all the way through, to making real world examples, if you have to get to the grips of it. And that leads us to why you're here. In this course, we'll go from absolute scratch, all the way up to building and deploying full blown NodeJS app on the Cloud ! Project Oriented Learning With NodeJS, we will build two full blown apps. We will go all the from concept creation, UI/UX design to coding and deploying our app on the cloud. A. ChatCAT - One of the fun things that you can do with NodeJS is build realtime apps that allow a high number of concurrent users to interact with each other. Examples of this kind include Chat Servers, Gaming Servers, Collaborative Tools etc. We will build a multi-room chat server that allows users to login via Facebook, Create Chatrooms of their choice and Chat in realtime. We will not only create this app, but also deploy it on Heroku and Digital Ocean ! You will learn all about using Websockets, Structuring your App in an efficient manner, creating and using development & production configurations, Authentication using Facebook, Setting up an App on Facebook, Managing Sessions, Querying & Using a Hosted MongoDB Database, Using Heroku & Digital Ocean's Cloud Services and lots more... B. PhotoGRID - The second complete app that we will build in this course is a Photo Gallery app which lets users upload images into a gallery with the ability to vote up the images that they like. This NodeJS app lets users upload files, which are then resized to thumbnails on the server and stored in an Amazon S3 Bucket for optimal delivery to the front end interface. The entire app runs on an Amazon EC2 Cloud Server which we will create from scratch and configure for use. You will learn about managing file uploads using NodeJS & AJAX, Resizing Images on the Server, Accessing & Storing files in an S3 Bucket, Querying & Using a Hosted MongoDB Database, Using Amazon's Elastic IP Service & Cloudfront distribution, ensuring your NodeJS app runs automatically even if the server is restarted and lots more... In the projects above, we leave no stone unturned in terms of execution. This is a complete hands-on course that is not just limited to NodeJS but to the ecosystem that needs attention when a NodeJS app is built and deployed. My intent is hand hold you all the way from writing your first app to deploying production level apps on the cloud. And I'm always available to personally help you out, should you get stuck. BONUS :: Here's the best thing about this course. The curriculum that you see gets you up and running with NodeJS & Cloud Deployment. However, there is so much more that you can do with NodeJS, which is why I will keep adding new lectures and sections to this course on an ongoing basis. There is so much more that you will get with full lifetime access to lectures and all updates !! So, join in the fun !"

Sometimes we see with our eyes instead of with our heart how will the future be.You changed my life from the first session. I felt and feel energized, big and that I can do things I believed were literally impossible, since a session with you is a change of Universe. A new reality where nothing is unreachable, where all is possible and especially where there are no limits. Thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Macri Bastos. Mother and Clinic Psychologist Intercambios Culturales Bolivia: I had the pleasure and the privilege Esther was my childrens private tutor/teacher. Both waited anxiously to attend her classes and came back home happy after learning new things. Not only were my children recommended to her as students, also children from my friends. One pays the hour in Gold, since her classes have no price, due to the experience children receive from developing the pleasure of learning and logics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Astrid Denise Morgan Lima - Per : I met Esther many years ago, when our children were studying at the Franco Boliviano " Alcide D'orbigny" School. She struck me as a dynamic, positive, outgoing entrepreneur; in other words a modern woman with many interests and new, innovative ideas, who put them into practice very successfully. At the time, she produced spices and also tutored primary, middle school, high school, and University students in math, science, physics and chemistry. Whenever someone asked for a good tutor, the answer inevitably was:" Call Esther Iberkleid, she's the best." I was able to ascertain this a few years later, when my eldest child needed one. I obviously called Esther, and she proved to be all that was said about her and more. She helped my daughter to organize herself, acquire better study habits, enhanced her capabilities, learn the subject matter well, and as if that weren't enough, Esther gave her self esteem a great big boost. My daughter was able to clarify all her doubts and started looking at school with more confidence and self assurance, both gained during her tutoring. As a former teacher, I consider this to be a great asset in a tutor. I have seen many students who loose their confidence when they move into higher grades. It is not that they don't study, or don't know the subject matter; it is mainly that they loose faith in themselves due to various reasons. Subjects get tougher, they go into their teens and feel more vulnerable and are under the constant criticism of their peers, some even have teachers whom they fail to understand; or who undermine them. This causes children to lower their grades, and as they do so they start believing they aren't capable enough, which in turn makes them lower their grades even more. Esther is a teacher/tutor, who not only knows the subject she teaches well and is constantly learning more about it; but she is always improving herself in order to find additional ways to impart her lessons, making them interesting and effective. More importantly, she cares and helps students realize that they are capable of facing, and succeeding in any challenge they face. I admire Esther greatly. She has strength, is always positive, and will go out and do everything she needs to do, to reach her goal. It was only four years ago, that she told me about her new enterprise over a cup of coffee, and now the results are amazing! She is doing something she loves, is happy and is very successful at it. This is what we would all want to achieve in life, isn't it? ... and it is the reason why I feel that she is such a great role model. As a teacher, as a client, and as a parent I would highly recommend Esther. She is excellent at what she does, always seeking to be the best, and is always well informed on new trends, changes or improvements there are in her field. I am convinced that whatever Esther begins, or whichever goals she sets for herself, she will always reach them and be the best at what she does. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wendy Howard - Small Business Expert, helping Coaches, Trainers, Consultants to grow profitable businesses Esther has the most amazing energy which she brings to all of her work and clients.

I've been producing 1 video a week for over 2 years now and have over 16,000 subscribers. My audience thinks I have a film background, but I don't! Let me let you in on a little secret: it's not all about your equipment! You can have have the best equipment, but if you don't understand the fundamentals to making great cooking videos, you still won't produce great work.

Well, unless your personality is so amazing that they just want to hear you tell stories and jokes! Production quality doesn't just mean that your video is pretty. It also means that your video is a superb teaching tool. There are many small details that matter when someone is preparing a dish. Make sure they can see them!
