This was my (family’s) home page. I always wanted to host MySQL, so I could use WordPress. As of 2011, this is happening … am being hosted by Crazy Domains ( https://www.crazydomains.com.au ) … company website is https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au … yay!
The distinction between course-driven and immersion-driven learning is useful. A small extension to the australia.htm exercise would be a set of named map markers and a text filter: first update the visible markers on an input event, then add a collected/uncollected toggle, and finally persist only that toggle state in localStorage. That gives beginners a concrete reason to learn arrays, DOM updates and browser storage without needing PHP or MySQL first. It is also worth testing empty searches, a page reload and disabled storage separately; those are different failure cases. Disclosure: we maintain the GTA 6 interactive map. I am suggesting it as an example of a map-and-progress interface, not claiming that we used the tutorial code. Would you introduce persistence after the first working interaction, or keep the initial exercise entirely stateless?
