Author: warbird Total-Replies: 8 There are so many topics already about this subject, why you didn't read them first? They would have answered you. Anyway, I'm gonna tell you one more time: If you already are a bit familiar with programming you could try C++, but you also could try GameMaker. It has a own language called GML. It's pretty much a stripped down version of C++ so if you think GML isn't good enough for you anymore you can easily step over to C++. Check the GameMaker site: www.gamemaker.nl. -=jeroen=-

Author: Baralis Total-Replies: 5 Hi I am fairly new to webpage creation, so I asked a friend of mine what is the best method of creating a good site. I know how to create a basic site using HTML and I have had a go at Frontpage, but both dont offer me what I want. He suggested to me to try Mambo or Dreamweaver. Any thoughts or hints would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to create a website for an online gaming guild.

Author: xxFallingFromYou Total-Replies: 15 I found it pretty easy to grasp. At first it was confusing as hell but little and little it got easier. Some concepts are still confusing to me but a good site to go to if you need help is www.javaranch.com and post on the forumsthere. Very helpful.

Author: demolaynyc Total-Replies: 12 Alright cool. Do you know any good sites I can learn from that offers Java help? I've been using Sun's Java Tutorials but they're worded with so many words that I just get lost and don't get the whole point in what they'r'e trying to say.

Author: Jeigh Total-Replies: 22 You can program web apps, that is probably what he was referring to...maybe. But yes I would also reccomend java as a first language to learn. QBasic is obsolete, and you can learn the basics of programming just as easily in java. Java, java, java is a pretty good text actually as it lets you learn everything from a hello world! program on up. Regardless of the language you choose to learn first, follow the reccomendations here. Get some good resources before trying to jump in. While its possible to learn from code examples and short bits and pieces on various sites. If you have a well constructed primer, tutorial site, or textbook it will help you immensely (especially since you have no experience at all). Textbooks are expensive, but they also sometimes come with all the software you will need (compilers and whatnot) and then give VERY detailed descriptions of using the software and give you a very good step by step view of what is needed to go from a desire to code to having output on the screen. Good luck and enjoy programming

Author: pyost Total-Replies: 3 Actually, you have got it a bit wrong. HTML is not a programming language - as the name itself tells you, it is a markup language (Hyper Text Markup Language). That means it only "explains" the browser what to display on a certain page. This content is not dynamic (it never changes); it is exactly the same as you've typed it. Even though HTML is not a programming language, it sure is the start point for creating web sites. As I already said, HTML tells the browser what to display, and no other markup language can help you with that. Without HTML, you won't be able to create anything. However, knowing only HTML is far from enough for a good web site. You would also have to learn CSS (Cascading Stylesheets - a stylesheet language) for better design, as well as PHP/MySQL (now this is programming) for dynamic pages and user interaction. But I wouldn't rush it if I were you. It's always best to buy/download a book on pure (X)HTML and learn it well, because it is the linchpin of all web sites. After that, move on to CSS, and then PHP and MySQL.

Author: bigredrosen Total-Replies: 11 QUOTEI want to learn php, and as I am a complete idiot, I really need some help with getting started.. I have read some tutorials and such, but I just don't seem to be getting anywhere. I have a host that supports php, and I want to use it on my website. I have read that I will have to install php, apache, mySQL and all that on my computer. Is it really necessary to do all that when I am not hosting it myself? Also, I don't know at all what kind of editor to use for making my webpages in php:(.. Help anyone??i, myself, do not know PHP. however, for a great site to learn it, check out: www.scriptlibrary.com that site has many scripts, programs, and tutorials for PHP, HTML, Java, Javascript, perl, and so much more. hope that helps! zack javascript:this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display = (this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display == 'block') ?

Author: FirefoxRocks Total-Replies: 7 I'd have to say anyone can be a programmer. It depends on what you want to program and what language you are learning. For application programming, you may consider learning C/C++, or Java as I am learning in high school right now. To develop iPhone/iPod touch apps, I believe it is Objective-C that you need to learn. For web development, you learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and so on. You referred to learning ActionScript before. I'm not sure of how ActionScript works, but you must have picked up basic programming concepts there such as decision statements (if/else) and repetition statements (for/while). This knowledge can be useful for other programming languages such as C, Java or PHP for example. I personally enjoy web development, as many applications are now moving towards the browser/cloud computing, so it is an area of interest. For the sake of my experience, I'll talk about web development as "programming". It is almost necessary to start out web development by learning HTML. Without HTML you would have no web pages on the Internet. Throughout learning HTML, you learn how to use CSS to style your pages (color, positioning, etc). These languages go hand-in-hand when designing a page. If you want your page to "do something", then JavaScript would be a necessity. And finally, to do server-side work on your site, I recommend the use of PHP, unless you're a Microsoft fan then ASP. Both PHP and ASP allow you to use databases (SQL) and perform more complex tasks that require server processing (data storage, user authentication, etc). With an hour a day, you can probably develop a good knowledge of HTML in a week and learn the most commonly used CSS quite quickly. It's up to you whether you want to pursue web development or application development or both.

Author: Arbitrary Total-Replies: 3 You should probably have added more than just the quote from the site. Couldn't you give some thoughts about the quote--like maybe highlight which parts are the most important or which parts are the most useful? Now, I agree that in general MMOs are very difficult to make. But it's quite possible to make a MMO that's simpler than most of the graphics-intense ones we've seen. MMOs can still be text-based after all. And even though its popularity may suffer, creating a text-based MMO is a chance for you to learn some things without focusing too much on graphics (which are, frankly, extremely difficult). There are quite a few books on game programming, but MMOs, like most games, are probably better off done with C++ than Java (for purposes of speed). Now if you intend for the game to be deployed in a web browser (say an MMO like Runescape), then Java is the way to go, but if you want more in terms of speed and your users don't mind downloading the game, C++ is industry standard. As far as languages go, Java is easier to handle than C++. I'd definitely second the start small idea. Come up with a simple game plan and then start coding and see if you get anywhere. If you did pretty well the first time, move on to more complicated ideas. Of course, those with a lot of dedication could probably start with a complicated idea and then research all the different needs as they go along, but that really takes a lot of concentration. It's easy to give up when the solution for your problem is more complicated than you'd have ever guessed. In general, read some books and start coding. Good luck to anyone who's going this route!

Author: basketter1991 Total-Replies: 4 QUOTEEclipse Newcomers FAQWhat is Eclipse? Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an extensible development platform, runtimes and application frameworks for building, deploying and managing software across the entire software lifecycle. Many people know us, and hopefully love us, as a Java IDE but Eclipse is much more than a Java IDE. The Eclipse open source community has over 60 open source projects. These projects can be conceptually organized into seven different "pillars" or categories: 1. Enterprise Development 2. Embedded and Device Development 3. Rich Client Platform 4. Rich Internet Applications 5. Application Frameworks 6. Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) 7. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) The Eclipse community is also supported by a large and vibrant ecosystem of major IT solution providers, innovative start-ups, universities and research institutions and individuals that extend, support and complement the Eclipse Platform. The exciting thing about Eclipse is many people are using Eclipse in ways that we have never imagined. The common thread is that they are building innovative, industrial strength software and want to use great tools, frameworks and runtimes to make their job easier. What is the Eclipse Foundation? The Eclipse Foundation is a not-for-profit, member supported corporation that hosts the Eclipse projects. The Foundation provides services to run the IT infrastructure, IP due diligence, mentor the open source projects during the Eclipse development process and provide marketing and business development support for the Eclipse community. It is important to realize that the Eclipse Foundation does not actually develop the open source code. All of the open source software at Eclipse is developed by open source developers, called committers, which are volunteered or contributed by organizations and individuals. How can I get started using Eclipse? Most people start by downloading one of the four different download packages: 1. If you are a Java developer and need a Java IDE start with this package. 2. If you are a Java developer creating Java EE application start with this package. 3. If you are a C/C++ developer and need a C/C++ IDE start with this package. 4. If you are planning to build Eclipse plugins and/or RCP applications start with this package. There is also a wealth of books, tutorials, and white papers to help you get started. There are also companies available to help with training and consulting services. In addition, please feel free to post a question on our newsgroups. Where do I get support? Everyone is free to open bugs and ask questions on our newsgroups. There are also companies that offer commercial products built on Eclipse and Eclipse distributions. Many of these organizations are able to provide commercial level support. How do I get in contact with other Eclipse users? The best way to get in touch with other Eclipse users is via our newsgroups and Bugzilla database. This is typically where people ask and answer questions about their favourite Eclipse projects. You can also find individuals blogging about Eclipse on PlanetEclipse.org. If you would like to contact the Eclipse Foundation see our Contact Us section. What license does Eclipse use? Eclipse uses the Eclipse Public License (EPL). The EPL is a commercially friendly license that allows organizations to include Eclipse software in their commercial products, while at the same time asking those who create derivative works of EPL code to contribute back to the community. The commercial-friendly nature of the EPL had been proven over and over as hundreds of companies ship Eclipse based products. More information about the EPL can be found in our Licensing FAQ. How do I start an Eclipse open source project? The first step in starting an open source project is to familiarize yourself with the existing open source projects. There is a lot of diverse technology being developed at Eclipse, so it might be actually easier to contribute to an existing open source project. If you believe you have a unique technology that is suited for Eclipse, then the first step is to read the Eclipse development process to ensure that the goals of Eclipse align with your interests in creating an open source project. The next step is to contact the Eclipse Management Organization (EMO) to get some help and advice in drafting your proposal. You can contact the EMO via emo at eclipse dot org. Who is allowed to start an Eclipse open source project? Eclipse is an open and transparent community of open source projects. We welcome project proposals from all sources. It is important to understand that you do not have to be a member of the Eclipse Foundation to start or work on an open source project. How do I become a member? To become a member please visit here for detailed instructions. see the site
