I started codeacademy last night and really like it. Though HTML seems to be a lot of memorizing. Gotta start somewhere...
All programming syntax will require memorizing. Difference with HTML is that much of it is only memorizing and not much else.
Everyone talks about how coding is the future and that they should teach it in schools etc. Is it really necessary to know code or will it remain a specialty field? Even if IT is a growing field, is it easy to find good jobs or do you have to be a genius at it to compete?
-1Sure, to the learn what the tags are is just memorization, but learning how to use them properly and creating a well designed page takes a lot more...
NIME. For pure HTML, I was able to pick up on that easily enough just by playing around and getting some experience. I think the real learning is needed for implementing JavaScript, CSS, and other the scripts necessary to build a site.
PCS Has a Software course for those who are really interested IIRC
Link/info?
I hate that book
Why?
Just thinking about attending a CSS class.
Why don't you check out some of the free ones online?
I'm guessing that for most people, it's easier to learn and focus in a class setting.
Well i guess to at least see if they like programming, it may be a good place to start. rather than drop money on a class.
I assume that he has learned some programming before. CSS is never the first thing you learn.
