why do I get the feel that I'm the worst noob wannabe coder around here and everybody knows a lot of coding ?

What languages do you know, Striker?

c++( still a beginner), and html(noob).

HTML eh? I would recommend XHTML instead, it's more versatile because it's based on XML and if your syntax is wrong you'll get an error message.

Awesome();

(1) Error: 'Awesome' is not declared.

HTML is not a programming language. :-B

That's correct, it's a markup language.

hey, I knew that !

the mighty atom, I'll fix that.

#include <internet.h>

there sure is a declaration there somewhere =))

Ah, XHTML. I still don't know what that is exactly. I guess I should look it up someday, it might be of use.

Don't be afraid of learning new languages Striker. You'll find out it's not that difficult.

Well, there's HTML 5 now which is already supported by the latest versions of the major web browsers, for those of you that want to experiment with something newer than XHTML. Also, the web consortium HTML 5's current specification for declarative 3D content (X3D format), is already being worked on by Mozzilla, Google and Apple for inclusion on their next major version releases of their respective browsers.

Browsers' support for HTML5 isn't too good, minimal in the case of Internet Explorer. The HTML5 spec also defines XHTML5. The HTML5 spec isn't REC and it will take years before it's completed.

Internet Explorer's support for EVERYTHING is minimal. It's not even fully compatible with internet.

That's because IE has it's own internet, so to speak. A lot of websites out there still have problems with non-IE browsers, all because those same sites were done with only IE in mind. But the good news is, that's changing. Each day that goes by, more and more websites that are exclusive to IE only are no longer the case, they are being re-worked to be more compatible with the other browsers. But don't kid yourself though.....there will always be some IE only sites around, not to mention IE still holds a commanding lead in the market share, for now. Why do you think somebody came out with that "IE Tab" add-on for Firefox?

Oh by the way, in case somebody is interested in knowing, here's the statistics for the cell phone browsers: http://tamspalm.tamoggemon.com/2008/08/28/admob-on-borwser-market-share/

I don't think anyone programs in Pascal anymore, not even in computer science classes.

That was my first programming language.

I learned FORTRAN77, which I don't think anyone uses anymore either.

I am old, huh?

I'm learning Pascal in school, unfortunately. What an awful language it is.

I will never grasp any coding languages. I have no time or desire to do so. I let the programming department deal with all the PHP and I just make things pretty with xHTML and CSS.

I'm learning c++ at school, but heh, interesting, a friend of mine that's at informatics intensive learns pascal O.o

Im learning java at my uni. Its so close to C#, but not C#, that it drives me crazy.. heh

FORTRAN is actually still used in certain places, satchmo. For high-peformance computing.
