pyrochild Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I never took a class in web design or computer programming... just lots of skimming the web to find what I need to teach myself. It probably would've been easier to learn in a class, but I've never had room in my schedule, being a band geek... I did take a graphic design class once, though, but I frequently ended up helping the teacher figure out why Photoshop wasn't doing what she expected... Taking an actual course, though, you'll probably have a more "correct" and "proper" understanding of web design than I do though... hehe.

david.atwell Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Great thing is, it's actually part of my major. :-) I love getting a degree for all the stuff I want to learn anyway!

shootingstarswishingheart Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Where are you studying? And what is your exact major? I took web-design in Highschool and a bit at college levels. But most of everything for me is self taught by just fiddling around, like Pyro said.

david.atwell Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 My major is New Media, or Multimedia Arts and Science. Video, graphic design, sound, web, flash...great stuff. :-) I love it.

david.atwell Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Nah. I've been in college for four years now (I'm 22), but I just switched my major last year for the third (and last) time, so I still have another year or two.

pyrochild Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 *iz anxious for college* To me, high school is simply a total waste of 4 years. They give you the illusion of having more freedom in the courses you take than elementary or middle/junior high, but really you don't have much choice at all. You need so many of this credit, and there's only the one class you can get it from, and you need a whole bunch of that credit, but you'll never end up using what you learn in those 8 semesters once you graduate. You need 2 of this credit, but only 1 class offers it, so you have to take the same thing twice in a row... Blah blah blah... There is a required class at my school that is basically spending a whole semester just learning keyboard shortcuts and basic formatting and layout in Microsoft Office. If one of my best friends hadn't been sitting next to me in that class, I never would've been able to so much as stay awake during a single one of those lessons. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!! ... Maybe this should've gone in the Rants thread...

jsonchiu Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 lolz I'm 13. And I think being 13 might be worse than 12, since you are entering the "dark age"... lol... Btw, highschool starts in a week... will it be any better than Elementary School?

shootingstarswishingheart Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I agree... Jr High School years were the worst. Highschool is a leap, but one worth making. It takes some time to get used to, but it was nice having some control over my classes.

david.atwell Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Well, I have no student loans whatsoever. As of yet, at least. My parents have been saving for my college since before I was born, so I'm good. 22 isn't any better than 21...any worse either, though... ...As for you, Pyrochild, I know the feeling. I'm self-taught on almost everything computer related until now. And I think my intelligence on these things is a bit above average. So almost any basic-level computer course is nail-to-head worthy. I've had at least two courses in which I've been qualified to teach the class. And OH MY GOOD LORD, all these people under the age of fourteen...are you guys being serious? I mean, really? I just had a HUGE flash of oldness...seriously, I can feel my bones creaking as we speak...Nothing against you guys, but I didn't start with any serious computing (a la PdN) until I was 16 or so.

MattBlackLamb Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I know how you feel David, I'm 19 & all these people are waaaay better than me at computery stuff. Having said that I did build this machine which was quite good fun My strong point isn't really computers though, it's music, I've been playing music since I was 12 (nearly 13 at the time though), if I do learn anything about web design / program coding, it'll be from places like Wikipedia & W3 Schools not from formal classes as I'd only use the knowledge to build a basic website or something not for commercials purposes.

david.atwell Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 CMD is my age (maybe a few months older); his webpages make me cringe and cry with their sheer awesomeness. I know Wikicode decently well; I can code enough HTML to be brutally dangerous (as in, my knowledge of HTML is probably equivalent to the mid-1800's). I'm amazed that Pyro, as a high schooler, can wow us all with his mad "skillz0rz" in C# (or whatever he uses) since I can't code a single line of anything. Sigh. One day...

MattBlackLamb Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I know a minimal amount of HTML (A HREF tags & embedding images), a bit of BB code, & I can read code well enough to delete bits that I didn't want on my myspace page (a contact card I had put an annoying flashy image in th corner of my profile & I deleted it).
