How do you code a website?

Re: Coding - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 28th Mar 08 at 11:26pm
Using HTML.

Yet again, I suggest you take a read on w3schools. That'll help you learn the HTML basics! {Smile}

Re: Coding - Posted By Pixel Drixel (gfxman) (gfxman) on 28th Mar 08 at 11:27pm
But I mean is it just HTML?

Re: Coding - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 28th Mar 08 at 11:29pm
Yes, with CSS! {Smile}

You can do it without CSS but it's always better to do it with CSS as it shows a broader knowledge base and helps on load times etc.

Ah ok so basicly you need to know just those. I see.

Just to add, HTML just codes the basics of a site. If you want things like posting, creating accounts, logging in, etc. then you need a wide knowledge of [at least] HTML as well as PHP.

However, to make anything good happen you need CSS, XHTML, and maybe Javascript in there as well.

My Site is built of basic HTML, and If I say so my self, its not that bad either. Have a look see http://freunion.co.nr

Yep, like everyone said, HTML and CSS make up the basic content of the website. However if you go in depth and build a proper website, I'm sure you'll be using some more Server Side languages as well.

Thanks. Yeah I'm trying to decide if I want to learn PHP and that. I sort of do because I want to code websites.

Re: Coding - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 29th Mar 08 at 4:22pm
Just keep in mind that taking on coding languages isn't something easy; it takes a lot of time. I don't mean a few days; we're talking months.

I've been coding PHP for over a year and a half now, and I still don't know everything there is to know about it.

Re: Coding - Posted By Pixel Drixel (gfxman) (gfxman) on 30th Mar 08 at 12:18am
I know that. I'm just saying I want to learn it.

Re: Coding - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 30th Mar 08 at 2:30am
As long as you know this won't be an overnight endeavour, then you should do fine. {Smile}

Re: Coding - Posted By Pixel Drixel (gfxman) (gfxman) on 30th Mar 08 at 2:41pm
I know there is no possible way to learn it overnight it's going to takes months of practice.
