I've learned a lot here but where can I learn how to use it practically.

Question

Where can I learn about IDE's or how to go from writing a program to creating an executable file? Where can I practice web design? (Everything I find is just manipulating templates.) Where can I learn to create GUI and graphics for game design?

Answer 1

You have to do much searching in the internet for all this. What you learn here is just the basics.

Answer 2

for web design its easy. use notepad or visual studio and you can run your codes locally..or better yet get a web host so you can practice publishing it to a web server.

Answer 3

I've searched the web a lot. I always start there. The problem is, I'm not sure how to ask the questions I have or even what questions to ask sometimes.
I have a few IDE's for the languages I use. I can write and run code within them just fine but I don't know what to do from there. How do I use the programs I build outside of the IDE? How do I turn them into programs others can download and use?
I'll look into frameworks. Not sure what that is. Thanks for the lead on that!
As for websites, what does it mean to run the code locally? I've been told I can use notepad but I tried it and it's just like writing a note. How do I run/publish it? How do i know how it looks/works on different browsers etc.? I don't know how to get a web host. Is it possible to use a computer of my own as a server to run the site sonehow? It would just be for practice. No real traffic.

This is an enormous resource.

Take baby steps and try conquering every problem at a time. Hang in there. And yes IDE's are not so easy, I suggest watching some youtube tutorials to get started with one. Tried a few, I like "Atom" and now using "VS Code" for HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT. But testing happens in a webbrowser.

Be patient en get used to trial and error. Ask questions.
