What computer programming and scripting languages do you know? Also, can you do images editing well, as well as flash programming?

Well me, I starting the whole web design thing around 6 months ago now. I'm a pretty slow learner so I don't know a lot.

I can do basic javascript (image pop-ups, mousovers, and some other simple stuff), a fair amount of HTML (I'm no wizard, but I can produce a website easily enough). CSS (I can make entire layouts in CSS, aswell as all my property's and styles), very little PHP (comments, the include command, and the basic syntax). I've just started up doing imaging also.

I can make simple yet pleasing eyecandy that looks nice using filters in photoshop and fireworks, as well as putting text and borders on cut up images. And also I can make animated gifs. Finally, I can do funny animations in flash, but no programming in action script or the interactive stuff, I plan to start learning that after I can do better imaging and learn how to use PHP and MySQL.

How about you, what languages and skills do you know in the area of computer programming, web design, imaging and flash etc.?

[Max]

Oh boy, let me try to think of what I know:

Languages:
- C/C++ (advanced beginner)
- Java (intermediate)
- PHP (intermediate)
- HTML/CSS (expert)
- Actionscript (near expert)

Programs Proficient in:
- Dreamweaver
- Fireworks
- Photoshop CS
- Flash MX (2000)/2004
- Eclipse (Java IDE)

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but that's the gist. Plus I have taken two college-level Computer Science courses, so I know alot about the technical and theoretical aspects of computers and related systems.

[Elliott]

It's no surprise youa HTML/CSS expert Max, with everything else you know, I'm sure they're a walk in the park for you ^_^ .

[~RangerOfFire~]

Languages:
- PHP (intermediate)
- HTML/CSS (expert)

Programs:
- 1st Page 2000 (expert)
- Paint Shop Pro 7 Aniversary Edition (expert)
- Photoshop CS (beginner)

[Elliott]

Well if thats the format people are gonna use, here's what I know in that way:

Languages:
HTML: Intermediate/Expert
CSS: Intermediate/Expert
PHP: Beginner
java script: Beginner

Programs:
Photoshop: Beginner
Fireworks: Beginner
Flash MX: Beginner

Yes, I am fairly n00bish at them, but I hope to drastically improve my knowledge and skill with those particular 7 programs and languages over the next 1-2 years before I finish school.

[Nick Presta]

Well, in terms of web design:
HTML/CSS (Intermediate)

Programming:
Basic (All variations - Visual Basic, QBasic, Watcom Basic, etc)
C/C++ (Beginner)

Programs:
All M$ Office programs (Expert)
Photoshop (Advanced Beginner)
Flash MX 2004 (Beginner)


That is about all.
I'm more into the hardware side of computers than the software.

[Elliott]

I thought so. I'm the opposite. I prefer software and programming side. Though I plan to learn about the hardware side of thing eventually anyway.

[Andross]

Languages:
HTML: Expert
XHTML: Expert
CSS1/2: Expert
PHP: Only basic commands (echo, include, if, then, else); I plan on learning switch functions
XML: Learning, and merely need to start using it with XSL (XML stylesheet)
ActionScript: Beginner

Programs:
Paint Shop Pro: Intermediate Expert
Adobe Photoshop: Intermediate Expert
3D Studio Max: Beginner Intermediate
Dreamweaver MX/2004: Expert
Flash MX/2004: Beginner

I am focusing on 3DSM and PHP mainly, at the moments I actually have some free time.

[Elliott]

Aren't HTML and XHTML basically the same thing? Though XHTML is just a lot more strict, and everything has to be valid?

[Andross]

HTML must be valid as well. XHTML is more CSS oriented. It is stripped down of some HTML 4.01 coding, and is meant to help implement XML in the future. It is a much stricter version of HTML in a sense, but there are other things that XHTML should offer in the future.

[Elliott]

Ok, I was just at w3schools looking at the XHTML and XML thing. Glad I cleared some of that up as I was unsure.

[Mallick]

I don't know why I am posting here, delete this if you wish...
HTML (N00bish beginner)

Photoshop (Beginner)

Basically, I know the basic commands of HTML (Marquee, images, links, line breaks, bold italic underline type writer, and stuff)

And I can produce images in photoshop that don't make you want to vomit all the time.

[Elliott]

If you intermediate beginner, then I'm intermediate. No offence intended.

Er, no offense, but you're more of a beginner. Or do you mean your level of beginner is intermediate?

None taken. I'll edit my post.

EDIT: Andross, I meant my stage of being beginner is intermediate, I know I am not intermediate. ^_^

Here's a tip for you PiersDM, and anyone reading this.

NEVER use marquees. They are the most tacky thing in HTML.

[Mallick]

Okay, I will remember that. in the next month or so I am going to be working hard in learning html. Should I go to w3schools?

[Elliott]

Well, I started at htmlgoodies, learning the very basics (images, text formatting), then moved on to w3schools. After that, I bought a book on HTML/XHTML so I could nail it. I also learnt CSS from w3schools, and then went onto a book aswell. In my opinion, books are better than online tutorials, but online tutorials are free so...

Yeah, but it's up to you PDM.

[Mallick]

I have gone through html goodies....I am going to go to W3Schools, and I will go to the library, when I was there last time (years ago ^_^) there was a ton of books on HTML and web design.

[Elliott]

Lucky boy. My school library is full of books no one reads, because they are so crap... Anyway, I recomend "An absolute beginners guide to creating web pages". It covers the fundamentals of web design, the do's and don't's, and heaps of the code. It also covers a little CSS, and some back edn stuff. A great book thats helped me a lot, and still very useful as a reference now an then.

[Mallick]

Thanks, Agatio!

But this is off-topic, so I'll talk to you through msn if I want to ask you something.

[Kite]

Well um... Lemme begin.. I only know Internet Scripting, no programming, although i want to >>
Anyways..
I know, PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS, XHTML, and XML.
And the only art proggy i have is paint ;__;

[Elliott]

XHTML and HTML a pretty much the same. XHTML is just stricter, and has a different document type. Other than that, I have seen no real differences.

[Kite]

No, if i remember correctly, XHTML is actually HTML 4.01 Scrict...

[~RangerOfFire~]

Thats basicly what Agatio said. :P

[Venus_Man1]

I know HTML and CSS. I am trying to learn Javascript for the moment. Pretty easy, still very hard.

[Andross]

HTML 4.01 strict allows for caps actually, and will not be able to implement XML in the future.

[Matthias]

I'm only expert in HTML and CSS... :P Pretty much noob compared to all you guys.

[Elliott]

With all that knowledge, you gotta have a site right? I think it's silly when people can make awesome layouts with HTML and CSS, but don't have their own sites.

[Nonsensical]

Hmmm.

Html - Expert
Css - Expert

Paintshoppro 7 - Expert
Microsoft FrontPage - Expert ( Actually, I skip all the spiffy helpful features and use raw coding. It's just helpful to keep track of all my stuff)

I have DreamWeaver and Fireworks, but I'm used to FrontPage and Psp7 that I've not bothered to mess with either one very much. I understand DreamWeaver is better then FrontPage in many respects. I'm really not sure what functions DreamWeaver has that make it so great.

I have a book with XHTML and XML sections in it somewhere. I should really look for it.

Amen.

I don't know too much. I can do IF/THEN/ELSE in any programming language that I know of. (BASIC, PHP, Javascript, C++? maybe) I know a bit of HTML, a bit of Javascript, a bit of PHP, and SQL queries.

[Silo STATIC]

Well, nothing much, but instead of putting it in a list, I'll just say that I'm a beginner in using HTML (basic text editing and image hot-linking), and I'm still making the rounds with Adobe Photoshop, so that's more like me being a beginner as well. Simple as that.

[DaMoose]

I know a bit...

HTML - Good intermediate / bad expert (I'm lazy)
CSS - Intermediate
JavaScript - Expert
Basic - Expert
C/C++ - Beginner
PHP - Intermediate
SQL - Expert
Flash - Beginner/Intermediate

Also, proficeint in Paint Shop Pro 5, 7 and 8, PhotoShop 7

And finally, anyone who uses the marquee tag, or the blink tag in HTML is an idiot. Most. Annoying. Tag. EVAR!

[Gardna]

Languages:
HTML - very good
CSS - beginner
PHP - beginner
C# - intermediate

Programs:
Flash - intermediate
Photoshop - beginner

That's all

:P

[Elliott]

I'd have to update mine now. I see myself as a HTML and CSS expert. It's really very simple to me now, and I understand pretty much everything in both. The only reason I can't make awesome sites is that my photoshop and imaging skills lack, and it's something I desperately need to work on. Coding is childs play, but making awesome web graphics is beyond me at this moment in time.

[Somia]

Hm.. lemme c..I don't know much, but it's enough to make a blog...

Languages:
- Java Script--Advanced Beginner
- PHP--Advanced Beginner
- HTML/CSS--Near Expert
- marquees--Beginner(I just know them from my neopets guild befor but i don't use them anymore)
-English(XD)

Programs:
- Dreamweaver--Advanced Novice
- Fireworks--Beginner
- Photoshop 7.0--Advanced Novice
- Flash 6.0--Beginner

I guess I haev alot mroe to learn..

[Kubjelle]

(x)html = high intermidate
css = intermidate
php = beginner
photoshop = high beginner
paintshop = low beginner
fireworks = very low beginner
Dreamweaver = low intermidate

I'd say if you were an expert you'd know everything, out and inn.
But thats just my thougt.

[Elliott]

Not necessarily. I doubt anyone knows every single HTML tag ever created off by heart. But I think knowing the majority of it, and being able to make good layouts that are correctly coded would make someone an expert. Aswell as being able to navigate through a source code and understand what each thing does.

[Lightning Star]

I don't know much but i do know a little

Languages
html/css: hm...beginner

Programs
paintshop pro: Intermediate


the only reason i wouldn't put advanced on paintshop pro, is because i'm not good with layers and such. And i don't really use html codes, i cheat and use front page :blink: but i do know the basics for html

[Elliott]

[Izar]

HTml and CSS, but I don't care for making my own sites by hand anymore. Thank God there's Dreamweaver. ^_^

WYSIWYG editors rarely produce friendly code but functionality > code in most cases

Anyways, I know:

CSS
HTML/XHTML
PHP

BASIC
C++ (still learning)
Java (learning)

Meh.

[Izar]

Ha, yeah, but like I said, Web designing isn't for me, I think I'm more of a game maker than a site designer. Just wish I was at least as good as some people.

[Eugine]

Dreamweaver is an excellent WYSIWYG program.

Here's mines:
XHTML: Sorta expert.
CSS: Beginner

Photoshop: Beginner
Fireworks: Beginner

YES, I can't make a good layout cause I only know HTML. If you give me the images and stuff and tell me to code it though, I could :)

Major bumpage. Anyway, I just started reading through my PHP book yesterday. I can do the basics like printing strings, and using global variables to retrieve data from forms. I'm up to using number variables now (chapter 4). It's not nearly as hard as I thought it would be (PHP).

[Eugine]

It was? LOL.

You see I browse the foum by using the online list, someone was reading the topic so I replied to it.

[Toad King]

[Eugine]

I'm currently going to learn CSS and atleast become good at Photoshop. When I feel confident about my newbie skills I'll create a topic for criticism :o.

[Unicornmaddy]

All I know it HTML...
And even that I can't do well :o
ohh and English and quite a bit of German

[Nick Presta]

I'll use a point system. 1 = learning, 5 = expert

HTML/XHTML (1.1) - 4.5
CSS1/2 - 4.5
PHP 4 - 2
SQL 4.1.x - 2
C++ - 3
