Wish you best of luck. When i started PHP, it was hard too at 2009. I am not a grate programer but i can code. And also planing to create a journey like you to start again with php(more advance) for getting Zend certification. BTW Which IDE are you using? You can try Sublime text2. Its really awesome with so many adons(packages).

Good Luck!

Codecademy.com's JS tutorials are great!

Yep! Thanks for that, I'm using Sublime text2.
That said, everything on Codecademy has
it's own text editor so for their exercises I am
using that.

Feel free to hijack this thread if you do start a
new coding journey.

Done for the day. Started off pretty well
but then slacked off. Stupid superbowl
took too long with the power outage and
then I had a bit of work to do so didn't
get to do the final hour. Hopefully I'll get
another 2 hours in tomorrow.

Did a bit of HTML and CSS revision. I really
liked having the window in the same frame
as the editor inside of the Codecademy site
as it gives live changes to the code you write.

Nice journey here are some things you may find useful one day:

Best of luck!

I started learning python on codecademy a while back and really wish I saved the code from each exercises to refer back to so that I don't have to open new windows each time. Think I'll start again as I forgot it all now!

notepad plus plus is an awesome editor for coding in most languages. I second that recommendation.

Hey buddy, great stuff! I am a CS undergraduate at Georgia Tech and we have one of the best computing programs here in the United States. Your technical skills will help you a lot in finding any sort of job related to IT world. When you program, please do it with a passion or you won't like it at all. Doing these tutorials will only help you understand the basics, but not show you how to implement them to the full capacity. Here in school, we are forced to make games in Java and other cool softwares that you can't think on your own. If you do plan on doing some software development then message me and I will give you few sample assignments to look at. Doing projects is the only way you will become an expert. Good luck with your goals!

Good to see your still at it. Persistence is everything

Reading the link above, I humbly suggest anyone learning to code to keep a journal/scratchpad, where you emphasise important points, what was difficult. Its important that you also refer back to occasionalyl to prompt yourself - a bit like a daytraders diary

Any jobbing prog worth his salt keeps at least one

In your way sooner all the best sampler will have some chat in skype since i too wish to choose js

 

[masush300]

ow ,good thread

subscribed


yes Notepad++ is great , i haven;t used but heard about that
i am using Only Notepad Lmao ,seems funny but its true


OP,my suggestion ,after you learn all the basic stuff
Try to make full code in editor or notepad and Just test/run once at last.
i am sure you will find lots of errors ,this way you will learn faster and code comes out with less error next time

This is the way i learnt Qbasic and js when was young child (teacher taught)

best of luck

Nice, thanks for that. Both look
quite good on the surface so I'll
definitely check them both out
in a bit of depth. Cheers.

Awesome man! Please come back and drop
a word or two in this thread to let us know
how your journey does go if you do pick it
up again.

Best of luck if you do.

That's awesome man. Once I'm a few more hours
into it I'll definitely hit you up on your offer and
will definitely see those sample assignments. Cheers

Yep! That's what I'm already doing. Thanks for
reinforcing the message though. I might even
try making a simple online journal site for my
first project after I've got a few more hours in.

Cheers

Thanks for all the replies everyone, it's definitely
giving me a bit of motivation.

So far so good today. I've been playing around
with HTML instead of JS for a bit and really enjoy
it as I'm a bit of a visual guy so it does help for
me to visually see what my code does. Hopefully
coding more in HTML will translate to better skills
in JS.

I've just started making my own site. Extremely basic
but I can't help be amused at how happy I am when I
made a simple crappy button like this. It's nothing special
but I like to think of it as a little win as I did it all from
scratch pretty much (including the hover which I kind of
remember from when I first did some coding about a
year ago).

div {
    background-color:red;
    height:50px;
    width:70px;
    border:dashed;
    border-color:yellow;
    font-family:Calibri;
    font-size:18px;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-style:italic;
    color:black;
    text-align:center;
    margin-left:100px; 
}
div:hover{
    background-color:white;
}
a {
    text-decoration:none;
}

Do you find it hard learning multiple syntaxes at once? As I mentioned previously I was learning python but I have some of the Sam's Teach Yourself books and wanted to try do like 3 codes at once. Not sure if I would get too confused.

At the moment, no. That said, I really haven't
looked at another "language" as I've just looked
at JS and HTML, where as JS and python might
get me a bit more confused.
