I'm interested in CSS/html coding as used on here.
Fable
and
fluticasone
, for the basic understanding. The BBCode Guide was helpful, but I think i learned more from just other members taking apart the code. Nowadays, it's just me going back and forth between
fluticasone
and MDN.
Lyro
everything in the book and cracking open my old notes on JS to figure that out. Once i knew the basics for each command though, my old programming background kicked in and was able to treat it like my old TI-84+.
Alteras
and I explain most of our shit, and we're open to questions in any of our threads as to how we achieve certain things. snippets is a good place for shorter codes you wanna learn.

tfw you have direct access to the parser but still don't understand what the bbscript is doing.I've been learning HTML/CSS since I was 8, and I'm 22 now. LOL The first place I learnt to rp on used html inline styling for their posts and CSS on profiles, and I really wanted a certain appearance for my shit, so I learnt. I was mostly self-taught until I got to college, where I majored in internet design. I realized that I prefer the coding part of it, so I shifted to computer science.
That being said, most HTML/CSS classes I took while studying formally was stuff I already learnt back when I was teaching myself. Most formal classes cover basics, so if you wanna do anything fancier, I usually search around stackoverflow to see if anyone's already attempted what I wanted to do. LOL There are a lot of resources on the internet that are aimed towards complete newbies who want to learn. MDN is actually a really good place to understand the principles and logic behind attributes. w3schools, meanwhile, is better for grabbing the basic syntax of something (i usually use it when I just wanna figure out the shorthand of something like the background property LOL)
If you're referring to BBScipt, that's going to require a bit of algorithm design on your part and will just be practice in every sense of the word. You need to understand use your input and get the output you want. This is really just trying to understand how the parser works and interprets what you're trying to do.
im not a giant nerd like
Alteras
,
fluticasone
, or
Lyro
though and do bother them for help when I just can't grasp a coding concept and how the most efficient way to to do.
That's interesting--it seems most people just teach themselves. How do you remember all the functions in the codes as well as their uses? I imagine its a matter of practice. 0:I've had kind of a mixed background. My basics for programming from being a self taught TI-84+ programmer, but strictly web design, it's both from a 3 week summer camp I took in middle school and just general self teaching when I learned about CSS Code injection from the early days of BBCode. Almost of all of my coding is self taught through wiki articles or just reading the spec sheet, like MDN and W3C.
If I was to be more specific about how I learned to do BBCode, I'd say disassembling other member's codes, like
Edit:
BBScript on the other hand is a whole other mess. Holy crap. Ended up asking
Lol, I'm trying to imagine coding on a calculator and that sounds like some otherworldly stuff.

I am self-taught and started around I believe 12 or so. I made my own little crappy websites on free web domains at first, then got a copy of Dreamweaver and learned fiddling around with that, proceeded to look at the code of things I thought were interesting and messed around with the privately to learn what things did, followed by using the massive amount of online resources there is these days. I'm not as advanced as
It's mostly practice, but if the creators of the coding language you are using are nice enough, the function of the code is deduce-able from the name. Like in HTML/CSS,
width means the width of the element, in TI-Basic While means while something is this, run something else, and in BBCode, [img][/img] displays an image.See
fluticasone
!!! It's otherworldly. Don't hate on my TI-84+!!!
Alteras
that's just basically saying your nerdiness is beyond human capacity
