I was looking for jQuery tutorials in February 2009, and found Jeffrey’s “jQuery for absolute beginners” screencast series on the old Themeforest blog.

It look great; congrats to everyone who worked on it!

Question: I’ve received automated emails notifying me of comments on Premium tutorials I’ve written for site. I don’t currently have an active Premium account, so I can’t even see the comments, let alone reply to them. Is there any way I can see and reply to comments?

I’m guessing there aren’t any left by this point, but if there are I’d love one for my brother.

I know this has already been answered to death, but I thought I’d join in the fun anyway.

Helen traded her neighbour a fake $50 for a real $50, and then traded back. So, as has already been said, the neighbour part is irrelevant. Since the fake $50 is really worth nothing, it’s just as though Helen gave the customer the $21 shoes and the $29 change. You should count the shoes as $21, and not $15, because that’s what Helen would have if the customer had paid real money.

So, she lost $21 + $29 = $50.

Joined the Envato Staff team and ordered a Nike+ iPod sensor; can’t wait to start logging my runs; go Team Envato Staff!

I’ve been running with my two brothers and Dad since about the beginning of July; I should have bought a chip and started logging back then!

Thanks, guys!

As the author of the book, I’d like to see that, too! I’ll mention this thread to Amanda and Naysan (at Rockable) and keep an eye on it myself.

So how did everyone do?

I did really nicely. Blew my previous monthly highs in both sales and dollars-earned completely out of the water, hit 51% commission, and got a black paw. Only problem is that I didn’t make it to second place

In terms of when sales came in: I was hoping it would be a rather consistent rate of daily sales, but it really dropped off. I made $6 more from June 1 – 8 than I did from June 9 – 30.

Now, let’s see if this sale will have the desired effect! Here’s hoping it won’t have hurt things, and cause the next month or so to be nearly dead.

Just a few weeks ago, I started using Slicehost . . .

+1 to using a VPS . Once you learn Linux SysAdmin, they are very powerful machines with which you can do anything you want!

VPS : I knew there was a term for this that I wasn’t remembering.

Just a few weeks ago, I started using Slicehost; it’s not your average host, where you FTP up your files or tweak settings in an Admin panel: you’re basically given a Linux computer with a public IP address and you have to set everything up yourself. They provide tons of tutorials and documentation for setting it all us. So far, I’ve had no issues (other than a coincidental problem on their end when I set up the account), but I haven’t been using it long.

You might want to start with the Nettuts+ / old Themeforest blog series by Jeffrey Way, Diving into PHP : http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/diving-into-php/

After that, you’re probably ready for his “Object Oriented Programming in PHP ” tuts, here on the Marketplace:

Have fun!
