dumb questions
I very much prefer the way moo-ppl solve problems as much as i prefer the forum over there over others - i’ve been programming for about 15 years now (started with qbasic, c, c++, asm, pascal, …) and it’s always the same:
There is a huge help and documentation which you just have to click, but ppl instead ask a stupid question in a forum like:
“Why isn’t that working? P.S. I just started with html today and don’t have any idea what i’m doing. PPS.: sorry for my bad english”
I mean, if they just started, shouldn’t that be enough to start by using tutorials? or by learning the basics?
And: when they want to post in an english forum, why don’t they learn english before doing so? (I’m an austrian and as such my mother tongue ain’t english, so i know what i’m talking about)
And about ui: who needs that??? If you start doing too fancy stuff in js, you should rethink your decisions - javascript wasn’t made for gfx intensive stuff, you’re probably better of with flash if you want to do some gfx stuff. Also most people think throwing in a bunch of graphics and animations makes a website better - IT AIN’T! Learn the basics before doing so - web 2.0 is about useability and performance - not about some “cool flash like javascript thingy”, maybe it’s nice to look at for a few seconds, but afterwards most ppl will probably leave the site and never come back again because of lack of use for such a site.
Well, that’s just my part of some greater opinion ;)
