Back to coding... question. - GoFuckYourself.com

I used to code C and Pascal back in the day.

Just thinking to try something modern out and wonder what could it be.

In general i like iphone apps, may be that or android?
CSS/PHP to do wordpress?
PHP/MySQL ( or similar ) to jump into web coding?

Anyone did a change / move like that lately?

Any comments?

Or fuck it, better get a wacom and go for illustrator?

If you wanna do iOS/Android you'll need to know C++ for iOS, and Java for Android. Although there are some great frameworks out there already that allow you to use HTML/CSS/JavaScript to build native iOS/Android apps.

Web, I'd stick to PHP/MySQL as it's the standard for the industry, otherwise Ruby on Rails and Python are two other good web languages that are easy to get started on a Linux based server.

Thanks.

Anything C like would be the best entry for me I believe... heck knows, Xcode probably.

You don't have to use Xcode exclusively to code up apps for the iPhone, but you will need it to compile them.

If I were you I would just focus on developing web apps or using phone gap which is better than learning the native code for different mobile devices (Objective C for iPhone, and Java for Android)
Not to say learning native code is good, it depends how much time you're willing to sink in.

Of course there is more and more support being made for write once and certain SDKs allow you to port to everything, but some of it is still buggy.

I do know that you can write iPhone apps using anything from Adobe Flash builder which is a great option if you are a flash developer and want to code in actionscript. C# can be used to code up apps for devices other than just Windows phones. PhoneGap is something I'm studying right now as I'm working on a couple apps.

I say this because, though you can learn as much as you want up to a point, you'll hit a limit.

You're better off learning the most common front ends, HTML, CSS(3), and Javascript which are essentially what make up HTML5; then learn back end PHP and MySQL.

Go ahead and learn Ruby and Python, but for most common server side software and other items that is what you are going to be dealing with. If you're working with porn stick with those.

No problem. Like anything all options are great, you just need to pinpoint what you need for what you want to do, and chose the option best suited for you.

Here's a better idea, get a week trial at lynda.com and just float around and explore. I guarantee you'll be in heaven. Download the project files and play around with them.

Good idea.

CSS + html 5 seems obvious to expand into wordpress and front end dev. Might be more useful then digging up into xcode.

CSS/PHP to do wordpress?

WTF?

I know what CSS and PHP do. I don't get why would you say CSS and PHP for wordpress.

I mean, that's for everything, not just wordpress.
