My beginner programming thread

I've never understood the language fanboys. They're kind of like science deniers to me, they spout their hatred for x language on a website which is coded in x language. If you hate it that much then don't use it at all I say.

Having a live preview next to you is so convenient, but I suppose I'll manage with constantly pressing ctrl shift alt r to run the code in chrome.

Thats why I suggested just doing it in chrome source. Especially your style sheets and scripts it could save you from carpel tunnel.

Google 'live reload [enter your operating system here]'

Thor has already mentioned it before in this thread.

Why would you want to cater for that?

Well the way I see it some people might have eyes that aren't so great so they view websites at 110% to maybe even 125% if they are sitting a bit further away.

But I'm getting ahead of myself I first need to learn many other things :)

Sorry about that, a lot of things in this thread go over my head, because I either don't understand the jargon or the dicsussion.

Width property? Not sure what you mean by shorter, like in a specific relation to the wording on the line?

I'm checking out bootstrap atm. I'm not exactly sure how to use it, but I'm gonna google it now.
Uhm yeah like how you can set a pictures width/height I want a the green line to be for example only 150px wide and 25px height

So I've switched over to notepad++ from Khan Academy's live viewer completely now, because of KA's limitations and it's quite an adjustment. Having a live preview next to you is so convenient, but I suppose I'll manage with constantly pressing ctrl shift alt r to run the code in chrome.

Brackets have a live preview function, very handy. Brackets is free and my preferred code editor.

Install the Emmet plugin for faster coding.

Okay so having two monitors would be ideal.
I have one lying around at home, now I just need to set it up.

Unfortunately my current wiring is very cable tied -_-'

Oh well, additional project for the day.

This is really cool btw! I can't wait to have live updates!

Yessssss!
This worked perfectly.

I now have the live preview on my left monitor and the code on the right and it updates every time I save. Is there a way to get it to update without saving or am I being a spoiled child?

Haven't downloaded emmet plugin yet though!
