Help me [learning to code]

[.Zi]

Basicly Im learning how to code, and I need some help, ive got the hang of the basics, I coded a maintenance page thismorning, www.habben.co.uk/coding/1 . Well, i think its ok, but I tried a 3 collumn layout and it didn't work, so I deleted it, im willing to give somebody that succesfully teaches me 10 credits on Habbo UK, its currently all i have

Just keep learning, read books, mess about in dreamweaver (I created stuff then looked at the code to see how it worked) try and get a layout that's been pre-coded and study it, modify it. Also look for cool code, dynamic drive has some interesting stuff. Don't forget CSS, also study existing layouts for that. If you get stuck then don't stop trying, it just means your close to a revelation.

If you want to learn php then just mess around with existing scripts and put together nareshs usersystem, that's how I learned most of my php knowledge (techtuts.com) also try to mash together two scripts. I once mashed together the house keeping guy and the PM system from nareshs system, which worked rather well.

How?

EDit: Cutter you cant send files like that, I can code a basic one, but im struggling with some things, such as boxes next to the main content.

The way I find best to learn, is reading big chunks of code and imagining how the overall product could look better. I read the code sections find outs what's what, comment it all and then begin editing. It usually works quite well and improves a wide range of other skills such as designing etc.

Good luck, however.

There is nothing wrong with using PHPdesigner to code HTML.

It has a HTML Syntax highlighter, and guess what? it is not JUST for PHP even though it says contains "php" in its name.

Thats just like saying Habbox is just for Habbo yet it isnt.
