Tutorials

Silicon Dales provide consultancy and management to clients in the United States, Europe and the rest of the world.

In this category we share knowledge of open source and other systems, in the form of tutorials and how-to guides. The list of subcategories below provides more specific areas of interest, or you can dive straight in to see the most recently updated items in the list below that.

Take a tutorial, and add a comment. If you like something you see, or you found it useful, share a link to it on social media or your business website or personal blog.

Our guides are one way we, at Silicon Dales, contribute to open source from our years of working in the wild on business applications for exactly this software.

Sharing information is how we learn and how we grow as developers and as human beings.

Subcategories

Because we post a lot of tutorials, about the subjects we are specialist in, we have the following subcategories, which may be more helpful for you to dive in to:

  • Android – tutorials about using your Android smartphone. Most often, this is related to accessing email (we’re Google Workspace resellers) or using your WP / WooCommerce site on Android.
  • AWS EC2– this is a bit technical. We’re AWS Consulting Partners, and we provide some tutorials for using their cloud instances.
  • Conversion – there’s no point getting traffic unless you can convert those visitors into paying customers or subscribing readers. Increase your bottom line with these tips and tricks.
  • Google Workspace – guides to help you make the most of your Google Cloud Google Workspace services.
  • iPhone – guides, like our Android tutorials, which aim to help you using iPhones to do specific things.
  • Linux – specialist tutorials for the ever popular software.
  • Magento – we’re eCommerce experts, so we are able to provide some guides on using Magento Community Edition.
  • MailChimp – probably the best known and most popular mailing list technology, we provide some guidance on integrating this with your WordPress / Google Workspace systems.
  • MySQL – often we get into database structure and queries. If we feel it may be useful, we post a tutorial here.
  • Plesk – one of the most popular and successful panels, Plesk is increasingly offering enriched WordPress support, so we offer support to those who use Plesk, too.
  • SEO – want to Search Engine Optimize your site, then this is a nice place to get started.
  • Shopify – get tips for developing and managing your eCommerce store via one of the fastest growing platforms around.
  • Stripe – a great payments service.
  • WooCommerce – we are accredited WooExpert developers. We write a lot of tutorials on this, the web’s most widely used eCommerce platform.
  • WordPress – powering 30% of the web, WP is the dominant CMS on the planet. If you need help, we’re right here, including with our free to access tutorials.

Below you can find tutorials we’ve posted, in date order, with the most recently added or updated items nearest to the top.
