I want to learn coding :D

[JoshuaLuke]

Hello.

Recently i've been thinking about how I have limitations on what I make and how I do things. I wanted to begin learning coding languages such as PHP [to it's full extent], C#, Javascript and much more. Although, I need some recommendations on what to go on to help me achieve my goal of being able to code properly. I also need to know what is a good program to use for coding.

Can someone provide me with some help of what programs to use and how I go about learning these coding languages?

Thanks
Josh

Just the whole PHP concept. Such as making chatbox's like tinychat, to making a whole CMS

Stick to the basics. Try making a normal login, and register system using HTML, CSS and PHP.

Learn MVC for PHP, always start with the best practices. And DONT USE MYSQL.. Unless you're using OOP.

just learn C# and JavaScript. You can do web development in C# through ASP.NET ;P

Try to learn more about what different data types are; like integers, strings, decimals, objects. Then work with them. They're in all (most) languages.

I know the basics, but I want to expand my knowledge

Anyhow, I'll try NetBeans and look up some sites. I'll probably re-do all the basics. I just feel like im limited to what I do because I dont know enough coding languages

tinychat is in flash. if you want to make chats like tinychat, I suggest you learn flash and actionscript, although its more difficult than just html and css.

it just depends on what you wanna do. php can do alot of things. mix php with html and css and you'll have a better look for your application. mix with that some javascript and you can make your user interact more on your site, etc.

you can't learn everything. you have to start with a base and then develop it and learn new languages.

if you wanna go programmation wise, start with php and python and work your way to the more advanced stuff (even tho php and python can be really advanced too, it's just the easiest way start start)

although if you wanna design and make stuff look cool, start with html and css which are not programmation languages

I know all HTML and CSS already. I've started with a basic login system

as far as "all" goes, i think you still have some stuff to learn. ive been doing css for couple of years now and still learning new stuff to this day.

I'd recommend learning the basics of HTML and CSS first, as PHP is in many ways just a giant template system.

If you want to learn PHP, I always recommend watching

; very helpful for those just beginning.

Why do you have to know OOP to use MySQL? Do you recommend that he stores all his data in text files or something in the mean time?

 

[Markshall]

If you're wanting to program in OOP and MySQL, use MySQLi because it has a pre-made OOP style of coding, there is also a procedural style too.
