I have already learned a lot just from the basic tutorial's. So, I was just wondering what I should do next.

I guess it will go in this order.

1. HTML (I have learned the basics)
2. CSS
3. JavaScript
4. PHP
Anything else?

I am working on the tutorial thing; not that far. I have 3 things done (Alerts, Button Alert, and Prompt Alert; when you read the thing you'll understand)

Do you know anything about the Hexadecimal (Hex) Colors (or just Hex)? they look like '#000000' or '#FFFFFF' or '#FFCC00'? ('#RRGGBB').

I just want to know if I need to include the HexColorChart...

I myself wouldn't recommend javascript. On my site, I haven't yet used, or found any place where I would want, or need to use it. But meh, if you want.

Learn PHP, it's the best, and it's good since alot of people here (Me, IP, Yoshi, Rexy) can all help you with it. You can do almost anything with it. Might also be good to learn the basics of SHMTL. Some host make you use it for certain pages.

Also, a good way to learn some CSS, HTML, or Javascript would be to look at the source of the page. Can't do it with PHP, since it covers it, stopping people from stealing your code. I don't even thing you can do a "Save As" thing and get it. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

The Color Chart won't be a big deal, I can just go online and get it myself. tongue.gif

If you want to throw it in there, be my guest!

ADDITION:
Yeah, I was looking at the source code for SEN and I was making my own changes, just to see what area does what. It was fub tongue.gif. But, I will learn more and begin making things from scratch.

See, there are two people who don't know Javascript.
Yoshi said he knows a little bit I think.

So bleh.

PHP > Javascript. wink.gif


...SHTML? What's that? mellow.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by O)FaRTy1billion on 2005-04-15 at 19:57:55
I probably know as much as yoshi; what he said of how much he knows is exactly same with me. My website I am working on (just need a host for it) is entirely JavaScript.

Also PhP is more advanced. Even copying stuff from tutorials and stuff I couldn't get it to work. So I stuck with JS.

I forgot waht SHTML is, DHTML I think is the <div> crap.

The more advanced a programming language is, the more pwng it is. (usually)

Besides, didn't dark say he wants to "Start Simple"? That is what I am having him do.

So Bleh 2u2.

DHMTL is Dynamic HTML, kinda like Javascript but more HTML-ish I think.

SHTML. I'm not sure, but I think it's like Secure HTML. Has to do with SSI, I'm not sure. I know that all my error pages have to be in SHMTL format though, so I had to learn a little bit. I'll see if I can find what it means.

Well, it's not like I have anything to show I am Über at HTML, nor do I think I am there. But, I will post a link to my site I am making, and once you guys think I am ready to make things a little more difficult, let me know!

SHTML

SHTML is like HTML with SSI. Includes stuff, and has a few neat functions.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Forsaken on 2005-04-15 at 20:33:35
Well, pretty much SHTML is the same thing as HTML?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Shmeeps on 2005-04-15 at 20:59:09
Kinda, it has alot more things than HTML, kinda like PHP. You use them together HTML + SHTML and HTML + PHP. THey just offer new possibilities. Think of SHTML as an HTML expansion.

I don't think there is any way to get JavaScript on its own. VBScript can be put into HTML, but it is an independant programing.

Isn't VB Script what goes into Games and stuff?

VB = Visual Basics
it is a programing language. Stealthbot is made with Visual Basics 6 (A VB Program; you have to use VB in that.)

Some games may be in Visual Basics; or part of a game.




I am adding little comments to the bottom and going through my tutorial now.

Just like you said, the more advanced the better.

Ok, Finished. Idk why but after I did Prompt; Text it started giving an error message in the Status Bar. I was too lazy to fix it; and I added a bunch of comments to you ( l)ark2004 ) at the bottom. This thing will say what it is its doing, then maybe a comment, where to put it, what to put, maybe an example (only 2 don't have examples), and maybe another comment.

Enjoy.

Thank you very much. I am glad to see there is some nice people online.

Maybe I will make another with a few more things (like tooltips). but that will be later.

If there is anything that doesnt make sence, or you can't figure out what to change, just ask me and I will tell you. If you want to know what each thing does, I can explain that too.

Just PM me or post here (I'll check this topic for a while; but PM would be more affective) if you need help with HTML or JavaScript. If you can't find the Hex Color Codes, I have that too.




When you learn more advanced programs, don't do what I did with my calculator pinch.gif
I made a program that keeps adding 1 to S, and when it reaches a certain number it would turn off the calculator (to save batteries), but I forgot to reset S, so every time I turned on the calculator, it would just turn back off. I had to take batteries out and reset the memory. Luckily I had backed up.

(Yes, I can program my calculator (TI-83+ Graphing Calculator). If you have one I can teach you to program with that too. simplest programming ever. has like 5 functions. tongue.gif)

Good stuff, but the scrollbar thing is easier in CSS.
