Why do they have to be SOOO freakin hard? I don't understand it. I can NEVER learn an ounce of information about these languages. It's kind of like my UNIX experience. Why can't they be like "Change *blank* to *blank*". Instead, it has to be <hdfasf ; ;eflf - efawe325l;/>

They aren't difficult if you apply a proper mindset. Are you trying to develop a website? It seems that way based on the languages you listed. Computer languages are best learned by memorizing the syntax, and then experimenting with raw code. Forget about Dreamweaver! If you truly want to know code, you must do it yourself. Knowing pure code can help you easily solve future problems with the applications you made and make it easier to update.

Take time to practice daily. Be sure to visit this website for tutorials:

www.w3schools.com

I recommend learning the following languages in order:

1. HTML (Hyper Text Mark Up Language)

2. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

3. JavaScript

4. PHP

Feel free to PM me with technical issues or if your code isn't working the way you would like it to.

I can do HTML well, cause I learned that a really long time ago. I find it really hard to learn new languages. CSS and PHP just look like a bunch of garbled characters.

I guess I just don't understand how they are supposed to work.

It's like me and UNIX - I can't find any resources out there for learning, that don't require some sort of knowledge already.
