In these pages you will find forums, tutorial sites, technical manual sites, and anything else that I have stumbled upon and found to be of interest.

You have to reach out for it. We all have to start somewhere. I'm still learning - new things everyday. For me, these websites were my starting point. I would say that this first web site is probably the most helpfull of all sites and I still find myself referencing it on a regular basis.


A good starting point

w3schools Learning HTML, CSS, and XML is a lot easier with websites like this at your beck and call. When I was first learning, this page usually came up in the web search no matter what subject I was trying to learn. I soon realized that you can pick up almost any scripting language from w3schools. If you havnt already been there , I would highly recommend visiting this site. Not only do they have tutorials on almost every major language , but they have a sandbox that you can practice in and play with code a little to test it.

Color Chart

color chart Sure You can memorize black,white,red,and blue - but what about all those other beautiful colors supported by HTML? Whenever I need to pull a color out of the toolbox, this is one one my favorite color charts to go to. Provides the Hex number as well as the RGB breakdown, making it very useful.

Managing Data

MySQL At some point in your development education, you will undoubtedly see the need to store data in a database and then access it. This is pretty much the crux of most programming anyhow - get data , manipulate it , store it, then retreive it or distribute it. MySQL is one of the most popular open source database software available and it is very easy to setup and deploy. Of course developing databases it is not always real intuitive so this site is a good resource to download a copy of the software so you can start practicing. It provides plenty of instruction and step by steps. Once it's installed , you can always refer back to w3schools for simple stuff. Once you realize you need to know SQL, this is a great resource to get primered.

Programming

java android

Both great starting points to learn programming and how to program for Android. While there is a lot of information here, sometimes I find the information a little too detailed or spread over too many areas to come together in way that makes sense to me, so I also depend a lot on tutorial sites like the following when trying to learn new programming concepts that I'm not quite getting from the official sites.
