I was wondering if its possible to learn stuff like HTML, PHP, C++, Visual Basic, Java and stuff like that just from the internet...

Becuase I learned photoshop from the internet, and im starting to learn HTML.

But yea i was just wondering...

And you cannot learn from just interenet, im pretty sure there are good books out there. So what do you guys recommend. Also in what order should i learn stuff...

I mean lets say if you have a whole of programing language and want to learn them all someday, what order would you put in which to learn first and etc. Becuase I dont want to start from like the harest or something, I want to start from the bottom. Yea thanks biggrin.gif

I learned from the internet. I just found sites with open-source things and tutorials. Read through the source and tutorials and do your best to make sense of it all, change a few things, see what happens.
I don't really like books.. they make me feel like they think I am an idiot who can barely do 2+2=4, even if I get a higher level.

HTML and JS I stared with.. and I had a calculator and started TI-BASIC (calc language) and z80 ASM (calc/gameboy assembly language), and now I am trying to learn PHP and C/C++. I learned VBScript with bot scripting.

Aw man, DEAD beat me to posting the W3Schools link.

It's a great site. It even lets you try out stuff. Or it does in HTML. That's all I learned from there. I haven't tried out other crap yet.

There are alot of things you can learn on the internet. You can basically learn ANYTHING on the internet.

Everything that I know is from my computer and my sweet ol' internet wink.gif

Never ever use dreamweaver. Forget it exists. Learn HTML and javascript and you will realize how much it sucks.
oh and btw i learned PHP, Python, C/C++, HTML, CSS (not programming, but neither is HTML), and alot of javascript (though i originally learned it through the book that this is a companion site for) all on the intarnet.

Yea, I learned HTML, C++, PHP, and Visual Basic off the internet. I do have reference books for C++ and PHP though, just in case. wink.gif

In order... definately, C++ last. It's one of the harder languages. If you learn PHP, it's very simlar, but much more strict.

Programs, for HTML or PHP, I'd say use Notepad if you want no extra software, or you could get a beefed up version like Edit Plus, NotePad++, or Crimson Editor.

For Visual Basic, I'd say go with Microsoft Visual Studio.

For C++, I use Microsoft Visual Studio, but you could use Dev C++ or Borland C++.

I use ConTEXT, my brother has stopped liking and has started to use jEdit (ugh, java).
Yeah, C/C++ is like 10x harder than any of the others.
I <3 PHP mainly because it has a big function library and its manual is literally the best in the world.

Of course you can learn things from the internet. Once you get the hang of using computer logic, the only thing you really need to learn is the syntax of the code.

man html is actually real hard.... I thought it wasnt that hard... i mean i think i know how to do basic stuff like title... and adding text and stuff... and adding links.. but the thing is my whole site looks like an essay.... any tips, i need some help guys lol...

All you need to know is <This> is a tag... Then go find a website with a list of all HTML tags and how to use them.

As for programs.. Notepad is your best friend; at least, its my best friend.
I use Dev-C++ for C/C++ though.
If you want to learn PHP, PHP.net is your best PHP-related friend.

What exactly does that mean..?

I think he wants to find sites that are HTML only, no CSS, Javascript, ect...

As for that, I doubt there are any. Most people use some kind of stylesheet or something like that to spice up their site. I'd say your best site would be W3Schools.

Doodle : why would learning Javascript + HTML make someone realize how much dreamweaver sucks? dreamweaver has built in features for javascript,html,php,vbscript,etc. I like it because i'ts like VB in the way it tells you the arguments of a function as you are typing the line.

Shmeeps : Why would you have a ref book for PHP? php.net? also, PHP is not similar to C++... almost ALL languages are similar to C++ in that they all follow similar syntax. People who learn VB or other such languages first don't realize this until they move on to 'real' or other languages.

i like dreamweaver, i got dreamweaver 8, and i saw some tutorial on how to splice and code. biggrin.gif and im making a template right now. But i think hes saying just learn HTML the right way, becuase it seems like dreamweaver is somewhat the easy way through. And you actually wont know HTML that way...

additionally, Dreamweaver writes particularly bad Javascript.
Mrmoocow:
Not really, there are lots of scripting lanugages that follow C/C++, but not many programming languages.

I use Macromedia Dreamweaver and love it smile.gif. I learned HTML and CSS from Davesite, Javascript (a tiny bit) from a book, PHP from a book, Java from a book.

Yeah, I like dreamweaver as well. fyi RedNara dreamweaver isn't a 'easy-way-through' it still allows you(almost supposed to) to edit the code it just happens to have niffty visual features that some people may use.

Doodle : But the main ones in my opinion, such as C/C++, ASM(kinda ><), java, pearl, PHP(scripting), javascript(scripting), etc., follow similar if not near identicle syntax.

LISP? BASIC? All different kinds of BASIC?

The only thing i would use Dreamweaver for would be syntax highlighting.
