How did you learn to code? I learnt by reading books and using websites to help me learn.

I visited a bunch of websites, and my web design class helped too

 

[StevenF50]

Lol, I may go to a web design class.

I started by messing around with a phpbb2 forum in the template files and sorta went from there

 

[StevenF50]

I started with mybb files.

Messed around starting on Forumotion, now I'm pretty fluent with it.

 

[StevenF50]

I messed around with forumotion a bit, I made a pretty nice theme with it.

 

[Austin]

Yeah, there theming system is fairly easy to use and create something. I never saw anything outstanding done with them though.

 

[StevenF50]

Yeah, what about the design at that forum that cody and that guy who made mint forumotion themes did, can't remember what it was called now.

YouTube tutorials and two amazing tutors. Both of which you'll all know.

 

[StevenF50]

Lol Do youtube tutorials work well?

 

[Terry Harvey]

Definitely! I tried W3Schools and all that rubbish, but they wrote their tutorials in a language that I didn't even understand. :LOL: "Add the selector to the CSS and add the following attribute". That kinda stuff. As a beginner, I didn't know what any of it meant. YouTube tutorials explained everything in plain ol' English. I understood every word with no problem.

 

[StevenF50]

I'll have to try out watching youtube tutorials then, anyone suggestions of which ones to use?

If your looking for some tuts on a variety of things, TutsPlus is highly recommend by me.

 

[StevenF50]

Thanks for the recommendations!

I used books

 

[StevenF50]

Books certainly do help. I've got two books. One for php, one for javascript.

 

[Tindris]

I have 3 books and a load of notes and printouts

 

[StevenF50]

Which books do you have?
