Bothering to learn?

Sammeh_Boy · 10-01-2006, 02:27 AM

Okay, im 14, I have a career plan to be a Graphic Designer/Multimedia Designer of some sorts, im pretty good with Photoshop and I know basic HTML, but I don't know CSS or PHP and I was wondering, when I create a layout, it just sits there in my folder of work with no slicing or coding because well, straight up, I cant. I can do some slicing, but for IFRAME's im a
headless duck(yes, I know its usually chicken).

I'm told learning IFRAME's now is useless, should I follow this advice and go straight for the php include x="such&such" kind of website or should I learn the fundamentals of making a layout before getting that complicated?

Any advice, websites or software suggestions for learning is appreciated

Hey Sammeh_Boy,

Welcome!

I'm not familar with IFrames but when I fnally got satisified (somewhat) with my knowledge of plain o' html then PHP and CSS came along! I was like, what's that?! It appears to be the next thing!

I'm just now dipping my toe into learning PHP/CSS and it's not hard to grasp if you are familar with coding in general. That's not to suggest I know how to do any of yet but I imagine a young and eager learner like yourself will pick it up in not time!

Either way... it appears PHP/CSS is here to stay and popular. So... if for no other reason than that, I'd learn as much as I can to function in the area!

Good luck!

Thanks for the warm welcome

I'll look into PHP & CSS next year and maybe next term(of school) because I start advanced IPT(Information Programming Technology) which they'll be teaching us Delphi & Visual Basic etc.. So that will give me a handle on the next level of programming/coding.

Thanks again,
Sam

CSS is a lil' tricky. I still have to get help on it for every site that I make. Good luck with your studies. If you want to go ahead and code one of your layouts, just pm me and I'll try and help ya. Programming wasn't intented to be learnt in 1 day

It'd be cool if y'all could through something up on this section and/or the Community Projects section. That way we could all learn!

Cool smilies Lyte

I'd be glad to help, it's up to him though

.
Guess I need to work on the whatisftp project too lol.

**Lyte** · 10-01-2006, 09:53 PM

Guess we're diggin' the new smilies...

Sammeh_Boy · 10-02-2006, 02:52 AM

Sure, I'd be up for a project. I just have to check out how my school studies will be timed as with a schedule etc.. Because im an 'Accelerated Learner'(skipping year 10 work to do year 11 work) I get all the software/books early, so far I'm on track to getting my school licensed copy of Borland Delphi in about a week when school comes back & I get my book for Delphi on the first day so I'll skim through and see if I can find some sort of project for everyone to do

P.S- The smilies are awesome

Educational

Party pooper....j/k. Yea, just get an idea Sammeh, and I'll try and help ya in the fields I know(or atleast think I know

)

Sammeh_Boy · 10-02-2006, 10:01 PM

Haha, yeah, I suppose we should go for a layout because I doubt everyone would posess a license for Borland Delphi

^And yes, this has no purpose, it just looks cool.

Mmmm, in a good way

I like learning, just you know, important stuff not stupid things like mathematics or poetry.. Yeah, I said poetry.. They actually teach us that in grade 9

firestorm · 10-03-2006, 05:20 PM

theyve always taught poetry in 9th grade. I'm doin a bunch of shakespeare stuff in English 4(it's a college level course, so a lot more poetry

). Just whatever you wanna do sammeh, give us a layout and we'll try and code it, writting a tutorial as we go

Sammeh_Boy · 10-03-2006, 08:27 PM

Okay, I'll give making a decent one a shot, at the moment I'm obsessed with scanlines, so you'll see this in there somewhere.. I dunno why.. I just.. Like scanlines

I absolutely love CSS, which when i make a webpage, i use a stylesheet and dont have to put the CSS code on every frame, its very useful.

PHP is totally different server-side scripting, its not as easy as i always thought it was, i too and just begining it, but from my experience, i am usually able to apply myself where nessecary to a PHP document.
