I'm thinking of quitting web development altogether.

It's been an exciting year or so but I've learnt nothing.

I wanted to learn HTML & CSS but got no-where.

I wanted to learn PHP but go no-where.

It's been a year of, unproductive-ness really and I think it's time to call it a day.

I don't know what I'll do, but I can't really think of myself as a web developer who knows nothing.

Thanks,
Xeoro.

p.s - This is in the right section.

You go - I go.

Very childish I know [:

You're the only reason half the members who visit the Web Design are actually becoming half decent now.

I suppose its up to you but what I've seen of your work is very good? Do what you think is right but It would be a shame for that to happen. :(

I am too, although you earn money id rather get a part time job you get alot more. Im alot better at coding flash than designing but ill probably quit that too. Altogether its a waste of time as I have more fun on my wii.

Sad to see youleave. If you leave web development that means no more layouts right?

Ill back up what Dunko has said, if you like, ill throw you in at the deep end and teach you XHTML and CSS. It's alot better than HTML. I may be busy at times, but I will guide you through the major steps easily in a few days. P.M if you would like to take this offer further.

I thank you for your offers, but I don't want to waste your time.

I'm really stupid [pessimistic], but I am.

If you say that, you wont get any where in life. You need to have a possitive attitude! :) I wish you all the best if you have declined the offer.

I would greatly like to take up the offer, I just see it being a waste of time but if you're willing to go ahead then I'll take the risk.

Learn from the masters?

You aren't an idiot :O

:P

Adam, the choice is yours, but I'd like you to stay as you are really good at habbo layouts. For your loving husband....

You might aswell carry on with layouts, as your good with them, and learn php in a few months, if you still can't get your head around it leave it and carry on with layouts still, you might as well carry on trying, by the time your 21 you would have a huge amount more XP then most other people in any type of web design, and you might get a job in it, good pay, but if you don't like it any more stop, not point carrying on with somthing you don't enjoy.

My aim in August last year was to learn (x)HTML, CSS and some PHP by the time I'm 16.

Up until recently, I saw this happening but the reality is that it probably will not happen unless there's a dramatic turnaround.

By any chance are you teaching your self? using tutorial sites? if you are then you'r not pushing your self enough, remember to go over things you have already learnt and not skip over sections of a tut

Don't quit Adam you ***, your layouts are really good nd they can only get better even if yuo don't advance in HTML, PHP etc.

Well... you could do what I do instead of "full out web development".....

I basically provide help/coding/layouts to people who are too lazy or can't do it themselves for free! And it keeps me busy and teaches me tons!

I'm not teaching myself as such.

What I know so far, which isn't a lot, I have gotten from looking at HTML codes and seeing what they do.

My PHP knowledge, I like to call 'echo PHP'.

By 'echo PHP' - I mean I know this much:

echo

Hmmm If your not prepared to learn stick at what you do best. :) If you don't enjoy it however you should quit. Its all about enjoyment but It would be sad to see you go.

Nah dont, I like your work. If you are bored with HTML why dont you learn a server based language, much more "fun". Your layouts are hawt

Read this and you will learn a few things



<?php
/* These tags are for comments */
// Or you can use these

/* We get the username from script.php?username=Danny */
$username = $_GET['username'];
/* $username will be Danny if the browser is at script.php?username=Danny */

/* If they havent entered their username in, it will call them a **** */
if($username == NULL){

/* Print is the same as echo */
print("****, you need to enter your username");
}

/* If they have entered the username Peter, it will call them a frob */
elseif($username == "Peter"){
print("Hello peter, your a frob");
}

/* If they have entered the username Danny, it will call them FITTT */
elseif($username == "Danny"){
print("Danny, you are fit m8");
}

/* If they are called anything else, they are told to go home */
else{
print("$username, please go home...");
}
