I try to learn and but frustrated very fast because my mind fills with questions that can not be answered soon enough.
i can do asp.net and asp though i am not experienced enough in it so quite a bit of the code is sloppy, i figure if i do a couple of projects with them i should be able to blag a decent .net job if my SEO job doesnt work out. I know a little PHP but i really could do with learning it properly.
I completely agree with your post. I do exactly what you described in the post. I dont have a very big firm, but if you practice this concept chances are you'll grow faster.
Mella, I thought you had a full and satisfying life HOW can coding be your life? Coding should be what allows you to live your life
Ah! Sarcasm from an American, I certainly wasn't expecting that LOL. Ok You got me good with that one
I know HTML, that's it. My main web designer has been designing for over 10 years - so I don't have the talent or the time to design my kind of websites (media-rich designs). I plan to one day take a course in php and web design but for now I don't need to, as I spend several months on each website I produce so it won't help me much. Don't know many yanks who are self proclaimed geezer birds.
If you want good Books checkout sitepoint.com I code, design and manage servers.. Although for big projects I hire coders and designers so I can concentrate on bigger aspects e.g. markting , sales..
A working knowledge of HTML only. I wish that I could code. I think I'm a little late and old. hehe Is it true that you can teach yourself with the right books (O'Reilly) and A LOT of time and patience? I had a programmer friend who was completely self-taught...16 languages, 6 years, and I thought that he was really talented. I watched him code a website with a large database from scratch. *amazed* Those of you who code....what are you thoughts on how long and how easy or hard it is to learn? What's the best language to start with?
Same here.. I know some HTML, CSS, PHP and mySQL.. also used to work in C++ and Java, but havent worked with them lately
I know bits of everything but not enough to actually code my own stuff... I just tweak ready made scripts/templates etc
