I want to know because I've always been particularly interested in it. I haven't had a chance to start out. Some pointers would also be really good. (Referencing to programming and HTML) (edited by NintendoFB on 11-04-06 09:04 PM) |

Now we are talking...
I started with HTML (mostly PHP) by just reading PHP files, seriously is better than tutorials, I just read existing files tweak some values and see what I get, I kept with that until I made my first PHP file, a file that was supposed to ban all who enters it (stupid I know), then I started adding tables to the HTML until now ( already made an item shop for AB 1.92 and 1.A2 (needs beta-testing though)). So yeah all I learned was thanks to reading and tweaking |

I haven't tweaked too much, but I am fairly familiar with some of the codes. I'm not one of those people who sees the Page Source and goes "What the fuck is that?" I also know some very basic HTML and Forum codes, but that's about it. | |||

Haha, that would be cool. I haven't seen too much raw HTML, only the cleaned up versions. | |||

Originally posted by NintendoFB Pick a language you think you might be comfortable with. Find some tutorials. Experiment. For example, I wound up writing a python script to calculate the percentage of what genres make up my music collection, and generate fancy-looking bargraphs for each. Just an example of how to apply what you've already learned to do something to learn more (if that makes sense.) Originally posted by NintendoFB Your mind is now blown |

Originally posted by NintendoFBYou seem to be confusing HTML and PHP. Understand that only about 1/4 or less of the board's code is PHP. The vast majority is PHP code doing various operations on the data from the DB. (Or operations on the DB itself.) |

Originally posted by darkwitchIt looks like perfectly reasonable code to me. Remember, compilers ignore whitespace for the most part. Whitespace only serves to separate tokens for the human reader, thus, you can put spaces and line breaks anywhere you want and most languages don't care.Originally posted by HydraPheetz |

Or a file that spells a word like "Acmlm" or "Idiot" |

That's a cool thing to know. I seriously suspected it didn't matter, since he seems to be doing Programming and ASCII at the same. | |||

I've heard Python is the best language to start out with. I, myself got interested in programming from messing around with HTML and CSS. But then I started looking into languages like C++ and Python. Out of all the languages I've looked into, I find Python to be the easiest to learn. I found This to be a great start. | |||

Wow, thanks for all the help. Gonna start experimenting right now.
Haha, to DarkWitch's reply, I'll probably get that. |
