So is Adobe Dreamweaver like a shortcut/Game Genie type of thing

Is that something that a novice should definitely pay for?

how do yall remember syntax etc.. i do php,jquery, javascript etc and i always forget how to do certain things. I always have to look back at notes to remember. Do you guys have any techniques to remember? Like yesterday i did a file upload script, the last file upload script i did was a couple months ago, so i forgot how to do it.

with google...you DONT have to remember..just know how it works and how to use it

Pay for it? :mjpls: But serious if you were getting into webbuilding or wanted to know how build sites without the help of themes like in wordpress, joomla, and drupal then instead of tying to code the site in xtml,html,html5 you can see the visual of your code on one side and the actual code on another with dreamweaver. Its an very helpful tool for website creation. I guess in a way a game genie type thing since it saves a lot of time though. Sometimes people just get the whole adobe master collection for complementing dreamweaver with illustrator, indesign and photoshop depending on what you do. Tutorials for how to use it are easy to find on youtube or in my other post that said tutorials, for thenewboston.

I've just started using code academy. I'm stuck on lesson 6.3 I think. It's confusing and I know it's just the basic's of java but its kinda of interesting. It's like doing a puzzle.

Like doc said google it. Repetition is key too, the more you work with it more it'll get stuck in your head I forgot alot of that syntax if I don't use it in a while. I also put up the syntax that is used in a recurring basis in the pad to aid like you said.

@Tommyfits. Bucky the main guy from the newboston link has a video series of about a hundred and four vids from beginning to intermediate on Java coding that you can learn visually if practicing with code is tripping you up, this may help you out.

O god, I hope a lot of people aren't trying to learn how to program just so they can make a quick buck, if so programming is the wrong place. You have to have a love for it or you'll give up pretty quick.

With that said, After you get the basic syntax down. You should focus on how to attack problems( which is all programming really is), How to properly design programs, learn about algorithms.etc The worse mistake you can make is getting bogged down in the syntax.

One thing I highly recommend and it helps you to think @ a very high/abstract level is - UML. Trust me it helps.

If you want to do mobile programming, it comes down to Java & Objective-C.

What's objective c




Objective C is an older programming language, that is used for iphone related development and apps primarily now. Its influenced by the C programming language and like its name is an object orientated type. Useful for the apple stuff since its been used for their software for a while now. Not really into Object C that much, but need to freshen myself up on it.

Its not the first language I'd recommend for a total new person learning to code but its not that hard to pick up (depending on the dedication of the person)
