http://www.tom-rogers.com/ - I have just finished learning CSS and I am in process of learning Javascript. Once completed I will, likely, move on to PHP. See a pattern, there all web languages.

  • I know you posted this like almost 3 years ago, but it's a good question and I thought I'd give my input.

    Cloud development has been talked about since the dawn of computing. These days we feel we're so much closer than we were back then. But that feeling progresses with us as computers got faster. But to no avail. Desktop apps are still with us.

    I hope your journey in to PHP was fun and exciting. I would recommend C# if you're looking for something new to learn. (maybe you already have)

  • the web isnt that big for programs, the web is only used 4 videos and tutorials. but thats like it

  • yes and no

    it will still take a long time before online applications are as powerful and responsive as desktop applications, this is due to server power and bandwidth

    but yeah you're right in that they are quickly becoming obsolete

    your thoughts?

  • yes thats the way things are going, your right.

  • Nice :D sub for you i just learned HTML and learning css xD

  • (L)(Y) Great work as always ;D

  • what about codeing a moparscape our wow privert server ? that count as desktop items ?

  • I forgot about Flash/Actionscript. You might want to learn it before JAVA.

  • I recommend anyone to learn in this order:

    HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, SQL/MYSQL, JAVA, C/C++, Assembly and any other languages that interest you.

  • excellent vids, thanks. regarding desktop vs online software, i think that eventially most if not all of our apps will run thru the clouds, however i don't think this will be the case for at least another 10-12 years. i liken it too what was commonly said about cd/dvd technology a few years ago...that by today it would be nonexistent. some things like that, as well as desktop software, are going to be inherently resilient to change for some time because of it's ubiquity and familiarity.
