Last week, NetTuts editor Jeffrey Way posted an announcement for a competition he was holding, offering $500 to the next 2 Plus tutorials accepted. The offer sounded “tempting” and I thought I’d give it a shot. I sent in my submission on Monday but did not expect a response.
I checked my e-mail this morning at work, and to my surprise, my tutorial was accepted as a Plus tutorial!!! I really can’t believe it. Even as I’m writing this blog post, I’m amazed that it was actually even considered. I guess staying up till 3 AM on Sunday and taking a day off from work on Monday really paid off.
What’s funny is that I’m not a Plus member, so I can’t even view my own published tutorial 
(but I’ll definitely upgrade soon) .. I thank all that have watched the screencast and have enjoyed it.

yes your right your tutorial was amazing keep on doing and we are the one who benefits your knowledge thanks again for your wonderful and amazing tuts.
Hi, ive downlaoded your tutorial from tuts plus and i must say its EXACTLY the tutorial ive been looking for months now, i was also wondering if you could help me with WAMP, i cant get it to work for me
Thanks for your tutorial!
WAMP isn’t too hard to get working. You just need to download it and run the installation. It should work. When you go to localhost you should see the dashboard.
I have encountered a couple problems with WAMP but most of them dealing with Microsoft’s IIS. There is a possibility that that is your problem.
hi,
first i have to say your tutorial is really great! But you have in your demo no active state effect. Is it possible to add the active state effect ??
Thnaks for your Tut!!!
What a coincidence, me too dont have PLUS account…..
So if u buy it, buy another account for me!
Its a prize for me for this comment
Hi,
Ive been trying to get this tutorial to work on shared hosting with 1and1 and I managed to create the database by following your video but I had to change the connection.php file to the following as instructed by 1and1;
It seems to connect to the databse but when I run the next script:
query($sql) or die(mysqli_error());
if($result){
while($row = $result->fetch_object()){
echo “url}’ title=’{$row->title}’>{$row->name}“;
}
}
?>
I get this error message:
connection established successfully
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/5/d113132624/htdocs/superdeal/products.php on line 114
Sorry to be a pest but is there anything obvious that I’m doing wrong. I’m really a designer who is trying to learn this stuff
Thanks in advance
Chris
Hey Chris,
I would say there are 2 reason:
1. Did you change the mysql database login credentials for the user login as well? That must be changed in Jeff’s system if you are using his.
2. It’s basically saying that $result is not an object … so there is a problem either in connection or query. Since it says that the connection is successful, I would assume it’s the query.
If you still have more problems, email me – streek@designsector.org
Hey Chris I’m having trouble responding to your e-mail. I keep getting a mail delivery error. Try e-mailing me from another e-mail address.
Hi Sunil,
Thanks for your responses. You can try on this address if it helps.

Congrats and Props on the Tutorial, it helped me out a lot since I just began learning MySQL and PHP, and have been looking for a simple to the point tutorial on the subject of CMS.
This is a great blog design too
Cheers!
Maybe we’ll see more tutorials from you??…
