Hey-
A friend of mine wants to build a website for his small business. He has a domain name registered and he has a host. He just needs to build the site. He asked me if I could help/knew of any good programs that help make the job easier.
Neither of us have much code writing experience, but we both have a lot of experience using computers at a higher level than the "norm".
He would prefer something he could run on his linux box, but would settle for something on Windows XP.
Any suggestions?
Hi, i would use: Microsoft Expressions 3
another good program is: Serif Webplus X2 / X4
wordpress is also an option it's easy for users to update themselves even if they are not
good at html or j-scripts and php
Thanks for the responses guys! We will take a look at those programs. I have heard good things about wordpress for us html deprived folk that have good overall skills. It looks like a good match to me(free, easy, good support community and powerful enough for what we are doing). Of course, we are going to take a look at the other suggestions, Expressions 3 is something I am familiar with, but we are not looking to spend any money if possible (not pros, just helping a friend). Not real familiar with Serif other than I know the name and I know it is a solid option.
If you go to
Students4Software you can get:
Microsoft Expressions Studio 3 for £20 / 50
all ligit
I'd look at e107.
It's a bit technical to setup, but there's a wiki and a IRC Channel, for help.
Requires, virtually no coding (unless you need to fix bugs), and offers a lot of features.

Well it all depends on the complexity of the website in question. Is it mostly just content or will you need database interactions involved? Will the site have a member base?
If it's just mostly content, any html editor (Visual Web Developer, Dreamweaver) should work. IF you are needing a more complex solution it's best to get a book and learn ASP.NET or PHP.. Cheaper then paying someone! =)
depends on what you want .. Wordpress is a great choice for blogs .. Drupal / Joomla if you are after a CMS.

not legit if your not a student, luckily im a student so can use that but if your not a student you don't have a right to use that site, and as a matter of fact u can get expressions studio free (if your a student) from the dreamspark project.
I'm a sophomore in high school taking computer science. (please don't judge me because of my age) Our school is making some major budget cuts, so sadly our video game programming and design class (the only other higher level programming class offered) got cut and this will be my last and only programming class at my school (well there's a possibility that it will be brought back in my senior year, but I'd at least like to stay fresh over the summer and next year). I don't know much about java to tell you the truth. I know how to use loops, conditionals, arrays (1 and 2 dimensional) and arraylists and most of the basic variable types (off of the top of my head, integers, doubles, booleans, longs, and strings). I've made some very very simple apps such as whack a mole and craps, but the gui class was provided by my teacher.
My question is this: is there a good, preferably free online program that teaches you the basics of java (especially related to the gui) and possibly some more complex programming?
I appreciate any help. thanks.
P.S. Please forgive me if this is too off-topic, but I really couldn't think of a better place to post this. Hope you guys will be able to help.

Thanks! I'll make sure to check him out!
I was in the same place as you a while back. The best way to learn is by trying to make something you want.
Before jumping into any serious programming you need to learn a few more important concepts. Methods, classes, objects, and more on those. You need to understand how it all works before going further.
If you have any questions feel free to message me or hit me up on gtalk. I'll give you some tips, ideas, and some source code of apps to dig into, if you like.

the basics:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
now go to some university's entry level cs website and do some of the programming assignments.
but if you know control flow, some data structures, types, etc. just program. there are a ton of simple things to write. for example, write a calculator that has an add method that just adds the two arguments, then write recursive multiplication, factorial, and exponential methods that only use add (or other methods you wrote). it's simple, but decent recursion practice. i could give you a ton of simple programs to write.
oh and pay attention to what everything actually is. read and understand what static, private, public, classes, objects, etc. actually are and their purpose.

I should have added, I have a basic understanding of methods and classes, and we are just getting into objects now.
Thanks for all the responses guys! really appreciate the help.
also, if you guys have any suggestions for simple apps that a beginner like my self could make, fire away.
I applaud you for beginning a hobby/interest in programming early. Currently I'm a 2nd year student at a university for Computer Science so I have a very direct understanding of Java. You should know that structure of Java (for every day use) is different than that of the Java on Android.
Download the Android SDK: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Follow all the steps of installation and DO the Hello, Android (World) app that it gives you. Make sure you UNDERSTAND everything on the screen and in your main class.

Thanks! I had kind of figured that android developement would be a whole different beast.
Who is this "java" girl and why would you like to go in and out and in and out of her?
What can I say? Different strokes.

Perhaps you would like to have a go at Missionary Java or K9 Java.
I can sell you my 'Programming with Alice and Java' textbook...if I find it. It has all the intro stuff. First it uses a program called Alice to teach you how it works, and then it teaches you to do actual code. When I find it I can tell you where it leaves off.

That's seems like the only one that had anything to do with programming at all...
-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-
okay what about as far as rom creation like the themes and icon i know you need some type of experience with photoshop,,, to create custom icon images,,

That is true. But none of those classes will really help with rom development. I would suggest going into the Android kitchen and reading some tutorials

yeah i will do that and take the class

Start at HTML. <DOCTYPE! HTML> can really help you understand how XML(extensible markup language) works.
Thanks for the info! I've been using Codecademy and can confirm its really good starting point if you want to become a web developer.
Thank you for the guide. I'm gathering informations in order to begin learning to code.

which do you reccomend ofr c++?
I am interested in learning how to program things for android (ROMs, kernels, apps, everything) offline, what are some good resources?
You may need to know java.
Look for w3schools and also SoloLearn sites, they also have android APPs.
I'm learning English on Duolingo and I think I'm going well.
Android APPs are doing great.
Thanks
I reccomend to try Free Code Camp. It is an open source site where you can learn web languages (html, css, javascript, sql) and frameworks like Bootstrap. At the end of the course you will receive a certificate.
For the italian users i reccomend Html.it, you can learn a lot of different languages. If you want to learn objective oriented languages like java and C++ i reccomend the tutorials of Fcamuso on Youtube.
I'd like to add another great resource that lists 8 Free web development courses. Some of these courses even offer free certificates of completion. A very useful skill to add in your CV.
Some great resources here. once you have a base understanding, browsing Github projects and looking at code to understand how something is being done is a great way to pick up new techniques.
I remember the first time I have programmed using VBA. At that time, VB6 was popular and I learnt by looking at others' source code as well as some textbooks, with the limitation of internet connection. Well, quite nostalgia

Agreed. Also if you have your own website, install something like Wordpress or any free forum software, and peek around under the hood.

very good every body, thanks a lot

your English is very good if I my say so. I actually love teaching myself new things as well and i started my journey of learning how to write code with a app from the playstore called grasshoper it is a great app think of it like sesame street for learning code.
I am now trying to venture out and learn more i have downloaded and installed both visual studio and android studio.
i taught myself how to root my phone moto g6 plus and how to install mods and custom rom's granted a couple of hiccups along the way and one panic attack lol but after 3 months of research and a couple of trial's and errors i finally found my way .
I hope this finds you in good spirits
Have a great DAY the Joker WAY " WITH A SMILE "
Instead of trudging through textbooks or online courses, the best way to learn is to just do it. Think of a project and try to achieve it, no matter how ugly or incompetent the code.
I'm a script kiddie with basic knowledge of Html, c+, c++, javascript and SQL. I also have a certificate in Computer Basics. Um I've been reading your threads now for about Six (6) years they've helped a lot in my early days.
