ParticipantIt’s not super important… but I would advise that you at least learn how to navigate files and stuff because you’re going to hit this level REAL quick in this game.
What OS do you use? Windows?

ParticipantOk… I can’t help you there. I don’t know ANY Power Shell commands. Can’t stress this enough: DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW. It will come later.
Just stick with the first three.

ParticipantStart making HTML + CSS pages that you think are cool. If you want to add a feature… research it and build it just like Alen said.

ParticipantWell, when you start doing terminal stuff in Windows (poor kid), please use this:

It’s the only way to fly.

Participant@NIX Sorry, I think I just getting too far ahead of myself here.
I will have to start to really buckle down on my Javascript

Remember these words Erik. Remember these words. You might think a GUI is easier… it’s a ****ing lie!!!

ParticipantI like to fill a niche where I can charge more and assert myself as the expert.
You can do this with WordPress as well.
Few things I really hate about WordPress, and some of these are not code related.
- Idea that everything we build is a “theme”, you don’t need to build everything that a general one-size-fits-all offers.
- Poorly written plugin.
- Still supports old PHP.
I’m OK with the first two. I have some control over them. Last one buggs the hell out of me.

More like… we’re confusing the shit out of you. We’ll keep it simple from here on out.

That’s true. I guess the real issue is… I don’t want to. And if I can sell other stuff… why not do it?
But I get what you’re saying. I built my first sites ever in WordPress and it definitely serves a purpose. But like you said… I don’t like how many assumptions it makes about your site/content.

Yeah… I had to Google GUI lol

ParticipantJust be sure to come back here when you get stuck… we’ll leave the light on for ya.

ParticipantWell… you’ll learn that all GUIs pretty much try to hide things from you. It’s a layer of abstraction that is not necessary (in some cases). Use FTP for now. Download Filezilla when you need it. When you’ve realized it’s limitations… we’ll get you set up with SSH and some sweet, sweet Git action.

Yeah dude… don’t be a stranger. So many people post a few times and bounce. It gets old. There are smart people on these boards to learn from… of which, I am the least.

Participant@erik24, start in this order (IMO)
- HTML (Content/Structure)
- CSS (Presentation)
- JavaScript (Interaction/Progressive Enhancement)
- PHP, Python, Ruby, Node (Server Side Language) –> pick one!
You don’t have to be a specialist in each, but having working knowledge of each will give you an idea of what you want to specialize in.
Start slow. Don’t get frustrated.
And remember.
Everything is hard, before it’s easy!
