I have learned basic HTML/CSS

Post Reply New Topic

I taught myself at the Mozilla website how to design a basic website structure and design with HTML and CSS today. What do you think are simple ideas that I can translate into a website. My big goal/passion is to build a few web applications and long term, possibly a startup web company.

I also have no job background and still live at home, so why not?

I'd start by creating a free blog at wordpress.com solely for the purpose of experimenting with coding (not to show to anyone else). Try out a few wordpress themes on the blog and practice changing them to make their styles and content look different.

I'm learning programming languages, too, bruh! I have 5 active sessions: HTML/CSS, Javascript, PHP, Python, and jQuery.

I agree with Darmok.

And I would recommend you learn the concept of Object Oriented Programming before you start coding (javascript/.net/php).

It's hard for me to process that concept of "Object-Oriented programming". I don't understand what it means when people say the program is "made of objects".

An object is basically an instance of a class, that contains a bunch of fields/methods.

A user object:
public class User
{
public string Firstname;
public string Lastname;
public int BirthYear;
}

User userObj = new User();

A user-controller is also an object:
public class UserCtr
{
public void AddUser(User userObj)
{
...
}

public void UpdateUser(User userObj)
{
...
}
}

UserCtr userCtrObj = new UserCtr();

W3schools have some good tutorials. When done with basic layout/design and scripting, i'd suggest learning how to access databases like MySQL, MSSQL or Oracle. Maby throw in XML/JSON parsing ontop of that. If you get through all that, i'd go with learning to integrate against Elastic search and/or NEO4J.
