How many HSL'ers know html?

<p>Just curious. I'm starting to learn a little over the last few days of Spring Break, since I have so much free time.</p>

<p>I do, I learned it in freshman computer class. I don’t know much JavaScript though.</p>

<p>Me. HTML, CSL, Pascal, etc. Learnt them at school</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Are you British?! :O</p>

<p>learning right now!
I like making web graphics so it’d probably be good if i learned html as well. Right now, I suck though; most of my html comes from looking at the source codes of different websites and then trying to imitate it.</p>

<p>I learned HTML when I was like 10-ish. Courtesy of Neopets. I don’t know how Neopets and HTML bridged…
And then eventually started making my own websites. </p>

<p>Anyway, I know HTML & CSS, PHP, ASP, Javascript/AJAX.
and then for programming, C and C++, and Java.</p>

<p>ETA: Smashingmagazine.com is a good resource you should look into.
I usually check it daily.</p>

<p>since when is php not programming?</p>

<p>lol I used to play neopets. Never picked up html from it though. I’m envious that you guys go to schools that actually teach html.</p>

<p>^^Does it really matter?
Semantics.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s the only thing that matters.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I got it from messing around with user lookups and petpages. And then it spiraled from there over several years.</p>

<p>I used to use lissaexplains.com when I was just starting out.
I don’t know/think that site is any good anymore. I used to use several years ago, now…I think it’s ad-ridden and generally irritating.
Tizag.com is a decent intro tutorial site as well.</p>

<p>But the easiest way to learn is to do.</p>

<p>I’m not a fan of actual web designing though. I prefer sticking with more back-end stuff. I’ve grown to hate CSS. A lot.
You probably will to once you begin noticing different browsers and different browser versions, render some parts differently.
And then there’s screen size. Do you make a liquid layout – which is great for everyone but can get messy quickly, or a fixed layout – which works for most screen reses but not all, but easier to deal with.</p>

<p>Then there’s typography, which is most legible (some designers are argue sans-serif is easier to read online, others argue the opposite), the ideal text-size that’s legible for everyone, including the 90 year-old grandmother who can barely see.</p>

<p>Then there’s color contrast (which CC fails in…)</p>

<p>Then there’s which version of HTML and CSS and are you working in, is it consistent all the way through (Some people mix elements that are phased out in later versions) and is it validated (Some people think valid HTML/CSS is extremely important. Others don’t. Depends who you ask.)</p>

<p>A lot of web design blogs deal with the above, which you should look into.
Smashing Mag is one of them.
I think Dezinerfolio.com also touches on it.</p>

<p>^ woah i didn’t know that much went into it. <em>backs away</em></p>

<p>Erm…to be honest, I think it’s only hard core web professionals who get that detailed about it.
The average person probably doesn’t need to focus too heavily on that. </p>

<p>Anyway, it’s just my two cents. It’s not like it’s in stone or anything. Other people may do things differently.</p>

<p>^gotcha. so there’s more to it than just




</p><center>
lalalalalalala
</center>



??<p></p>

<p>Without going into unnecessary detail, the center tag has been depreciated and shouldn’t (but probably still is) be used, though it is indeed rendered “correctly” in all browsers. </p>

<p>[HTML</a> center tag](<a href=“http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_center.asp]HTML”>HTML center tag)</p>

<p>^Plattsburgh: Haha, that is a lot. But I’ll start to absorb it slowly :smiley: It sounds fun in a daunting way.</p>

<p>lol at everyone stealing. i don’t know why i find that funny lol</p>

<p>ohhhhhh!!! i just realized i post ^ in the wrong thread lmao
ignore it, i can’t edit it anymore
thats why i thought someone deleted my post in the other thread. it makes sense now lol</p>

<p>Html isn’t programming but I do C++ and Java.</p>

<p>I know a little HTML, a decent amount of C++, and I’m trying to learn Windows API.</p>
