 |
|
I am interested in making programs (like how aprelium makes web servers, but im not goinna make web servers :P) but i have absolutly no experiance in it (onless you count visual basic, that i can program) so does anyone know where i could get started in something like this?
NOTE: I dont know what i want to make, something simple so i can test my skills, then get into something more complicated

I would just go down to a barnes and noble and pick up just about any book. I personally like Thompson publishing when it comes to computer learning...they have some good authors plus usually all the source is on the cd included and they give you a compiler to use.

hc2995,
We suggest starting with a scripting language such as Python. It is powerful and can teach you many advanced topics (such as object oriented programming).

Delphi (which uses pascal) is also a very good way to go. It also uses OOP as python does.

By the way, Borland has released new free light versions of their development tools: http://www.turboexplorer.com/ . You can find there Turbo Delphi and several other IDEs for other languages.

Thank you for your offer. Your programming talents will help a lot if we initiate a community project.

I took a course on Flash and Actionscript over this last summer. It was quite informative, and I learned alot. Actionscript is a really neat language to mess with.

You mean for the web? You can do this with just about anything, DHTML, PHP, javascript, ETC..... Search google for "Web page drop down menus" (i got about 25 million hits)

in flash? its not that hard and can be done by utilizing the on(rolOver) correctly with a symbol. That was one of the first things I was taught on how to do stuff with symbols

We are thinking about creating a web space for hosting projects initiated by Abyss Web Server users (web design, scripts, or other web utilities).
