Web design and development

[Night]

Anyone work with creating webpages, websites, web apps, all that jazz? HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, etc.?

I've been working with creating and coding stuff for the web since I was ten or so, and I'm hoping to go into freelance web design after graduating and probably getting a CS degree in college.

meeeeeeee (^_^), currently working on the theme for here (css + php edits ?.?),
setup a website for the primary school my mum works at,
currently writing php server side files for breakingpoint to handle various database stuff
used to use flash back when i was in college for my personal site, just switched hosting to a vps, site needs redoing anyway, need to get feed-the-machines site up and running properly which is just a placeholder sitting on my vps atm :'(

Whaddup, dude!

I'm still working on learning PHP and getting a better handle on Javascript. I'm more used to handling the visual front-end content of a site with HTML, CSS, etc, and I consider myself proficient enough with that, at least. I've been working with this stuff self-taught for around seven years now, but it's been slow-going with a lack of frequent projects to get my hands dirty with; I need an excuse to get more used to the object oriented side of JS (and regexps, they're simple conceptually but still make my head hurt), and learn PHP to the point where I'm not referencing a manual/Google 90% of the time. x'D

This sort of stuff goes right over my head; did Visual Basic back in college and I can just about understand some HTML other code, but most of the time I don't have a clue. I guess it's like learning another language, except I'm no good at that either; wish I was.

Not yet, but I have to do some of that as a part of my course next year. Can't wait

If you need any help with parts of it, feel free to ask. A good online resource is http://www.w3schools.com
Good luck with the course, dude! This stuff is fun! (I am a massive dork!)

Will do, thanks Yeah it does seem really fun, my dad programs for a living so I've seen the stuff he's made and that's really made me want to pursue that too.

That's the one I've been using to do basic HTML coding on here; I've only just about remembered how to do <a href>.

Just remember that the

attribute you can add to links is a no-no. ;P
