Ok.. I'll admit I'm guilty of Laziness.

While it's not a necessity to make money online, I believe EVERY IMER should learn HTML/CSS/PHP/Java and other Web Development languages.

I realized this when I tried to put up a membership site and I knew not a damn thing about Web Code and thought to myself.. "why the hell don't you know any Web Language?"

It saves you so much time in the long run unless you've got a ton of money to spend on having people do the hard work for you then it's what ever I guess.

So I've decided to make a poll out of this to see who knows their code.
 
i know quite alot about html/css know some php (want to learn more)

but i agree that every imer should know html/css/php. it really helps when putting a site/ideas together.
 
I learnt html/css and php all in one day. You need to find the right tutorials though.

got any suggestions for a good php one? cause i really want to learn more about it.
 
HTML, CSS, and PHP; definitely. Java; definitely not necessary. PHP will give you an understanding of C/C++/Java Principles and syntax, but you're better off learning VB or some other RAD like Python for App Dev.

JavaScript on the other hand, is quite useful and shares syntax with CSS and ActionScripting.

I'll try to upload some e-books and link them here later.

If you are a newbie struggling to make money, then yes, you need to know some coding.
If you are a pro, then you can afford your own programmer, so no coding experience is necessary.

care to point us in the right drection - 1 day learn sounds good to me - i only got the basics don myself
 
I know quite a bit of html/css, but php still confuses me. If it gets too far away form html, I get confused. I'll admit that every language you can learn definitely gives you an upperhand.
 
Here are the books I am reading...

1) Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 For Dummies-400+pages
2) HTML/XHTML/CSS For Dummies-400+pages
3) PHP and MySQL Web Development For Dummies-500 pages

HTML and CSS are easy to learn. PHP is kind of complicated. Hopefully I can become an online freelancer for building sites after reading all of them. :)
 
Just check out http://w3schools.com I'm planning to read up and learn every Tutorial they have. They're well outlined and what not.

Unless someone has a better source to learn this stuff.
 
I know enough HTML to be dangerous. CSS I don't see quite as important, though it helps. PHP is something I'd love to master, but I can only do a little of that. PHP definitely gives you an upper hand.

CSS and JS can be a Black Hat's friend. Even just simple CSS things like knowing how to make a layer invisible to a surfer, or add a background image to an element.

I'm pretty sure 2 & 3 are in the RAR I upped if anyone is interested... if not there is plenty of other PHP/MySQL and HTML/CSS stuff in there.

As for learning PHP, if you have any basic programming knowledge it will serve you well. If you can understand concepts such as For Looping, Do While/Until, If/Else, Variables, and Arrays learning PHP won't be hard. Otherwise I'd recommend taking an Intro to C/C++ at a local college if you can. The syntax and logic in PHP and C are so similar it's ridiculous.

After that, EBooks, Web Tutorials, and good ole' PHP.Net will help you figure out anything that doesn't make sense. Start with the core logic and syntax, then start narrowing your focus.

Learning to program isn't just about functions and syntax, it's about a methodical way of thinking.
 
If you want to learn html/css or php so fast, you need to find a tutorials that teach from scratch to finish by building a simple/average application.

My previous post gives shows what I used to learn php in 3-4 hours.

Here is how I learnt CSS, very same day. Go to
Code:
http://css-tricks.com/videos/
and grab the video tutorials
#1: Converting a Photoshop Mockup (part 1 of 3)
#2: Converting a Photoshop Mockup (part 2 of 3)
#3: Converting a Photoshop Mockup (part 3 of 3)

Watch the videos from start to finish. Then do the same thing with a photoshop mockup of your own while rewinding/forwarding to the relevant parts of the video tutorial to copy the technique and/or code. 30 minutes into converting your own mock up you will already have the hang of it.

When you are done, you can look at any other CSS tutorial and read through. Everything will make perfect sense because it will be explaining what you have already done.
