My beginner programming thread

Dunno about tbody & thead (not a front end dev) but seems to me like you are not closing tags hence your interpreter (browser) is left to guess I suspect.

Try closing tags correctly(td tags) and see if it corrects itself.

Thanks for the link and the answer krycor

Yeah there's a lot of tags for the tables so I'll take some getting used to.


Happy to be learning though!

Edit: that link is boss! I got borders for my tables now!

<table border="5" style="width: 50%">

Check out stylesheets next.
Using them you don't put your styles in-line and make it possible to share styles across multiple elements.
(Unless you're coding up emails, then you want to keep it all in-line).

        <style>
        h2 {
            color: red;
        }
        th {
            color: red;
        }
        td {
            background-color: rgb(210, 216, 217);
        }
        #contents {
            color: rgb(133, 36, 99);
        }

I know this is not part of the question but I would probably do most of the CSS within it's own stylesheet.css file and just reference it in your html. Makes for some cleaner and easier to read code.

ooops. I see Rward allready pointed this out.

I just spent the last 20 minutes inspecting websites and changing their CSS to make them look ridiculous lol.

Good fun. Will be nice to show my friends who don't know anything about IT.

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

This command is officially my favorite

position: absolute;
z-index: x

I've been abusing it a lot

 

[rward]

Check the responsiveness on it though ..
(responsiveness - responsive web development)

Any good recommendations for sites to learn Visual Basic?

I don't understand, is this a bad to learn?



I'm 96% done with the HTML/CSS course on Khan Academy and 50% done with the Javascript one. I'm just trying to branch out as much as possible and get a feel for everything I can.

Next up is Python and SQL, but I've been told VB is good too.

I think most would rather recommend C# or Java instead of VB.

Much rather do C#, Python, Ruby to expand your languages. You will be hard pressed to find anyone who says VB is the future and in my opinion it will be a deterrent to your programming future not a benefit. It gets a lot of hate(its not really that bad) but I do think for new learners its totally wrong.

Yeah, don't...

Learn C# or Java first, as Admiral said

Thank you, I will steer clear of VB.

Ahh I get it, okay so definitely a no go. Thanks Beachless. I appreciate the more experienced people helping me out here.

Aight I got you! Thanks prOd.

Btw I found these great websites if anyone doesn't use them;
Google fonts are free
Palleton - this is color wheel on steroids suppose to help you choose color schemes for your websites

Edit:

I just realized these links use a hover command. You don't see the underline unless you hover over it with a mouse.

But phone users wouldn't see that.
