If I could go back in time to talk to myself, I would tell myself not to just learn code from sites but start with a proper book on html/xhtml, css, and javascript. There are waaay too many out of date or plain bad examples and tutorials on the net. These are your tools, it's worth spending the money on the best current books. I would also tell myself to really learn regular expressions, my editor ( Vim for me personally ), and bash commands. Being able to properly combine and integrate those three will save you countless hours of work and make you vastly more efficient as a coder.
I will second that ... strongly. Just like any other discipline being ignorant of your tools is very close to being ignorant period. It is well worth it to spend an hour a week per tool to learn something new. I have yet to spend any amount of time learning something new or trying to understand something better that did not repay itself with three months, if not sooner. -Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
