PLEASE HELP ANYONE !! CSS/HTML?

Question

When learning programming languages do you have to learn all the coding , because I did it at college and now have forgotten the codes but I understand the syntax of HTML, CSS and stuff but can't remember the whole coding like how to link the stylesheets s it just me having this problem ? and also I'm at Uni and will now be doing PHP so was wondering what I can do to prepare myself.

Answer 1

Most of the basic coding is provided by any good web editor. Mine has coding for all document types and I have add what other coding I need so I don't have to type it in every time. That means the meta tags and links to stylesheet files and JavaScript files are already there. Many are commented out and those just need to be removed and filename(s) and path updated.



My editor also has a standard PHP template, CSS template and many more. What I'm getting at is that many of the coding that is done over and over for every page can be added in the editor's templates. Mine even allows me to add code snippets when I need one instead of coding a long snippet again.



Just learn as much as you can and try to remember as it is better to be able to code from memory until you can move on to more complex things.

probable the main technically "sparkling" thank you to do this could be to create a sequence of CSS training for aspects that must confirm colours. So, as an occasion, you ought to have a type for aspects the place the textual content cloth shade is that shade, a type for aspects the place the border is that shade, etc. i could advise naming the educational using some equipment that debts for what characteristic will acquire the colour (e.g. textual content cloth, border), alongside with the function of the colour interior the layout (including "topic shade a million", "considerable textual content cloth shade"). do no longer call the educational after the call of the colour itself. That way, in case you adjust the colour, you isn't puzzled by skill of all the references to the previous shade, or ought to alter all of them. on your stylesheet, for those shade training, you may in basic terms have a rule which contraptions the colour. this can be the single and basically bite of code the place you may define that shade. interior the HTML, you may assign the proper type or training to aspects that desire colouring. (remember, one element could have many training, and one type can stick to to many aspects.) yet another smart technique could be to define the stylesheet using something different than organic CSS, and then collect/technique that it into actually CSS whilst it needs for use on the internet web site, the two manually upon changing the stylesheet, or quickly using something server-area. this style, you ought to apply variables even nonetheless CSS does no longer help variables.

Your best bet is to brush up on html and css and then progress onto php, depending upon how much php you intend to use. Try http://www.freewebtutorial.co.uk as recommended by Manchester Metropolitan University. It has tutorials on html and css and useful tags and properties lists.

Hi,

Astano is quite correct with w3schools. They are run by the World Wide Web Consortium, hence W3C, are are the best place to start.



Now, you mention PHP. Without a hosting server you can install a free one called WAMP - Windows Apache MySQL PhP. The version for Linux such as Ubuntu is LAMP, the 'L' is for Linux.



Anyway, once you have installed WAMP you can then write PhP scripts, MySQL databases etc on your own PC therefor enabling you to completely develop your site/application without an internet host - much cheaper.

Your site files are stored locally on your, say, C drive under the 'wamp' folder and accessed in your browser address bar as http://localhost/MYSITE.COM etc.



There is a full tutorial at the WAMP site and lots and lots of help by googling 'wamp'. The latest version is Wampserver 2;

Hope this helps and the very best of luck with your studies.

Answer 5

If you just need to fresh up then use a website like http://www.w3schools.com/ This website contains a list of all HTML and CSS tags and what each one does, this should help you remember the tags.

Answer 6

That's what reference manuals are for.
