Hi Rach,

Just out of interest what do they teach you at Tafe? The arty or technical stuff ?

Re: Does anyone need a website?
 

I'm learning Web Design and its literally from the basics - HTML, Java, PHP, Photoshop, CSS, Dreamweaver, Flash and a bit of Project Management thrown in!

This is the course:

Re: Does anyone need a website?
 

Well I'm def being kept busy with these sites :) Glad I made the offer cos its really good practice for me - especially as we have 2 months off TAFE at christmas........easy to forget things!! :)

Re: Does anyone need a website?
 

good old basic html is the way to go. w3c has some great tutorials on there site, and is an invaluable resource, especially if your designing css and valid markup compliant code.

My son, met Mr MySql recently at a school computer day.
The fella from recollection is yugoslavian or of some descent, and my son said he was such a nice fella.

Imagine that, meeting the guy who invented MYSQL !!??
He was in awe ! sad i know, to ppl not into computers, but i get him :)

Years ago, when I was learning BASIC, on a BBC ( Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code ) I watched every Open University program going on tv, to learn how to write it.

Much of the stuff now is just a re-hash of BASIC.

Mind you, my mate, had a zx81,, and we used to write games for both machines, i really could not get my head around the Sincalir machines programming...

Yrs later, i spotted a BBC2 microcomputer for sale, with 32k of ram !! lmffao
Fella who was selling it, said give me 40 quid. ( I still have it ! )

I remember as a 13yr old my Mum and Dad forking out 399 quid for that machine !!

Stick with it gurl, i reckon its a bloody good thing your doing and offering.

I would recommend, hacking some site templates, avail from the web, usually a search on google will give you a good list, try CSS

Then explore the code, and see how they do it.

Another good way to go, is try learning includes , within say PHP . Deffo good ground for learning some basics.

Re: Does anyone need a website?
 

Thanks Ste

yep I must admit - I'm an HTML freak - love it! Thats sad I know but I love playing about with it. I design in Dreamweaver but I always leave the code view open too so I can change it there if I need (or want) to :)

I also love playing about with CSS - you can do some great things with it cant you. I've started making templates too which is great for large sites - makes life sooooo much easier :)

Flash is also a favourite of mine although I dont use it that much - one of my projects though has asked for it so I've had to get back into it - glad I did because I'd forgotten so much.

We use W3Schools in TAFE for javascript and php - to be honest it bores the pants off me - solely I think because the instructor for PHP and Javascript also bores the pants off me - he just sits us in front of W3Schools and says 'there you go' - great tutoring!! After that I opted for distance learning for that particular stubject!!

When I've finished my projects for BE I'll post the URLs on here (if everyones happy for me to) so that you can give me any criticism (all constructive obviously!! :))

Cheers again

Rach xxxx

Re: Does anyone need a website?
 

Although I use Mac flash mx2004, i really lol dont get it ! Albeit i can rehash stuff and the like.

I also like fiddling with html, and to some degree php. Asp has not escaped my notice, but has escaped my attention.

Java, i know fkall about, and ajax im getting there :)

CSS is very powerful, and I should sit down and re hash one of our larger sites and make it fully css driven.

My son is so into php its unreal. His newest phase is designing widgets.

He released one a few days ago, and i think has had about 3000 downloads so far. Just wish he could get them to pay for it :)

_______________________________________
Mind you he releases a lot of his stuff under creative commons, and copyleft

Adobe ( i use cs2 and cs3 ) are the lifeblood of my day, and albeit i dont work with psd templates, its one of the most powerful tools.

The thing with websites, is its not so much like the old saying:
Like painting the 4th rd bridge, by the time youve finished you have to start again...

Is more like:
Like painting the 4th rd bridge, by the time youve finished someones invented a new type of paint-brush that makes it 50% faster to apply but 25% slower to learn !!!

Re: Does anyone need a website?
 

Aint that the truth!!

I'll have to get some help from you son with a bit of PHP soon I reckon - designing a site for a friend of mine who needs to upload images and then preview them on a T shirt - I'm a bit slow on the PHP front at the moment though!

I use Adobe CS3 and love it! I've got a shelf full of books on each of the subjects / software and yet I was looking for a simple task in one of them yesterday and couldnt friggin find it anywhere! A quick search online and I was sorted............all that money on those books!!!! :curse:

So do you work in web for a living? You obviously know your stuff really well.

Kinda lol.

We found about 7 yrs ago, that we could earn money from it lol.. so kinda spend a lot of time on websites n stuff.

Son has been doing it since he was 11, and had his own servers since he was 12. He is now 17 and is an absolute whizz, by comparison to me.
Hes just turned down, NABBR for one of his sites, as their initial offer of 20k usd up front for 12 months advertising or 10 million page impressions wasnt a good enough deal !!

I was spewing, but he knows his stuff.

Far as the image uploader thing goes, spreadshirt use ajax+php+xml to best of my knowledge. Ky my son, has recently done a cpl of php widgets that do similar things, but im sure theres ive actually seen a script that can do that, will have a look for you.
The way to go, I think is have generic images for your products, t-shirts, sweats vests etc in vbariety of colours in say JPG format, upload images via console uploader, in png format, and combine the 2 using php and positioning with ajax.

Will have a look.

______________
If you need slave hard drive space ( server ) just shout, will set you up with 100mb free, on one of ours.

Regarding books, i have the php bible amongst others, and i use it now to prop the door open lol !

oh and edit:
The issue usually is if you let users upload the images, because of their nature, transparent image types are usually needed. Will look for the script.

Re: Does anyone need a website?
 

yeh it's good fun making websites...made a few ...

I remember my first freeby invision forum years back, but it's better when you own it all yourself and have full control..it means a lot more work and responsiblity...and you don't have ads on your site.....

From a $150 - 200 a year can get you a domain name and server in oz with all programs..forums..business stuff included...and be online in a week..
just watch who you go to....
double check everything before passing over the $$

and if you get anyone to make your sites...make sure it's registered in your name, all put on dvd/cd for you to take over...:thumbsup:
