G+_Vincent Panico Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 So you think it's a good idea to stick to web development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lee Crocker Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think reporters are too stupid to realize that static sites, blogs, social networks, and whatever else we come up with in the coming years are all built on the same technologies, so learning this technologies applies to everything.

G+_Rudy Rodriguez Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'd stick with it. Remember, web development is valuable to the intranet, not just the internet. I like this site best for leaning Visual Studio's C#, VisualBasic, .NET, etc. http://www.learnvisualstudio.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Lee Crocker Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 JavaScript is definitely a must for web work. Java not so much--it's kind of dying out, although it's rising for mobile because of Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vincent Panico Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 That's the main reason I want to learn java :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vincent Panico Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 what sites are good to learn java and JavaScript? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lee Crocker Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 For JavaScript, Google "Douglas Crockford", and watch every video and read every word you can find. He is the master. I don't know where to send you for Java. I learned back in the version 1 days, and that's so different from today's Java it might as well be a different language.

G+_Vincent Panico Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Lol thank you so much I was using Code Academy for JavaScript & HTML/CSS and it is really confusing on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Wesley Kerfoot Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Read "Eloquent JS", that seems like a decent book (free to read online). I'd link it but I'm on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nate Follmer Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Vincent Panico Code Academy is good for a refresher, but is somewhat confusing for beginners, so don't feel too bad about that. Another great way to learn at least the HTML and CSS is to look at websites in Chrome, right click and select inspect element. You will then get all the HTML, CSS and JavaScript that runs that element on the site. You can edit the HTML and CSS right in the browser, which is awesome for learning how properties effect the elements and layout. Later on down the road, learn to create modules and plugins for Wordpress and Drupal. I'd say that's 95% of what I do now when I get a new Web client.
