I am currently an Mis Tech at GHS, even though i do know most about networking/computers I don't know anything about code writing code HTML etc. So i was wondering if anyone out there could give me any kind of knowledge or anything to get me started in the right patch examples of code i could try or w/e is appreciated

Thanks

How come you call yourself Mis Tech if you're asking such Questions? I thought "Tech" is derived from "technology"? What sense of this word is wrong with you? :-)

He wouldn't necessarily need any technical as a MIS Tech, it is pretty much management reporting.

May be. If so, please forgive me, Matt.

The best suggestion I can give is to get a book on an appropriate language, and work your way through it doing the exercises. It is very difficult to start off from code examples, as you miss out on some of the basics far too easily. In addition, it is not possible to give one-to-one tutoring here: no-one has the time, and it is not the best way to learn anyway!

I would suggest you go with C# if you can, as it removes some of the painful stuff form C and C++, without being seen as "childish" like Visual Basic.

What book? Almost any of them, unless they contain the words "in 28 days" or any number of exclamation marks!

You can download development environments for C++, C# and VB from Microsoft - Google for Visual Studio Express Edition Download - which is pretty good, especially for free!

Good luck!

0) What is a "Mis Tech"?

1) Download Visual Studio 2010 Express (it's free).

2) This is the hard part - decide what platform/architecture/language you want to code for.

Platforms are Web or Desktop

If you picked Web, you're looking at asp.net, which includes html, javascript, css and the coding language of your choice.

If you picked desktop, you have Windows Forms, or WPF.

There's also Silverlight with is like WPF for the Web.

Next, you must choose a langauge - essentially there's VB or C#. Most examples you find on the web will be in C#.

3) Take a class that targets the stuff you selected above.

4) To REALLY learn, select an app/web site you like and try to entirely duplicate it's look, feel, and functionality.

Good luck.

If you are just interested in creating web pages, http://www.w3schools.com/[^] is an excellent place to start. There are online tutorials, the key ones at the outset are "Learn HTML" "Learn CSS" and "Learn JavaScript"
