Hi Sean,
Thanks for the clear, concise help; very understandable. I just have never had th occasion to modify an article before, but the steps are very easy to follow.
Good luck on participation in this endeavor it is a very worthwhile project!
Have a great day ,

is the extra focus on asp a consequence of its inelegant design or its excessive complexity, or both?
hahah! just kidding. i'd probably love it if i'd just bothered to restrict myself to a single proprietary operating system.
seriously tho, its a nice idea but i'd like to see more context and less glossary. after all, there's a million 'html tutorials' out there already. how about some background on the document object model, generalised markup languages, etc. also, how to set up a server and database on a local host... etc...
:P

Sure, that's a great idea - more background is something we can look into later. Once we see some of these glossary items filled we can start thinking about expanding.

This will probably be very useful.

This is going to be a great help but what about PHP?
|
|
|
|

Added.
Please let me know if you have suggestions for the PHP section contents. If anyone else has suggestions for this and other sections they are more than welcome as well!

Would it be possible to include naming conventions and testing methods.

WoW.... Great Initiative. I should work for it also

Thanks!
We'd love any contribution you'd have to offer!

Hi Sean,
Have a Look on this[^]
Please let me know if any thing need to change. I have alredy updated this article too.

Fantastic idea. If it get fleshed out it could one of the best indexes on the web!
Can we add a section for ASP.NET Best Practices (code, IIS, performance, etc, etc) so that beginners start out doing things correctly instead of doing what we all do these days (reverse engineering our products to see where we're compliant with best practices and where we're not)?
|
|
|
|
|
I think it's a great idea. But it's a pretty broad topic. Any ideas on how we can narrow it down?

I suggest that this guide should have javascript walkthrough , using PHP or better yet something like Web Development Black Book style where all essential areas are covered one by one / by glance.
|
|
|
|

Great idea! What do you think of this for a JavaScript section?

Excellent idea! I've been a programmer for many years, and I don't mind confessing I'll probably use the Beginner's Walk myself. I just won't confess how often.

Great idea.
I think however that the article "CSS For Beginners" by Nongjian Zhou should be updated to being into line with more modern document types (e.g. XHTML). It was written in 2000!
Examples include:
1) Using lower case tags in HTML (table instead of TABLE)
2) Closing tags with "/>" rather than ">"
etc.
(I have mentioned this in the posts under the article itself so sorry for the double post)
What do people think?

You could rewrite the article yourself (with the new features you mentioned) while still giving credit to Nongjian Zhou for his contributions (you might want to check with him before hand though, just to make sure it is ok).

Great idea Thomas. What he has for now is a great start though.

When can we expect actual links?
Thanks.

I guess, as soon as people have found time to write them.
Fancy taking one of them on?

From the CodeProject Newsletter:
"We have a lot of articles. A lot of articles. One thing we don't have, though, is a way to easily point a beginner at an article and provide them with a simple series of articles that will give them a solid foundation. So we decided to put one together. Or more correctly: ask you to put one together.
We have a Table of Contents for Web Development (our first article walk in the series) that is editable by all Silver members and above. What we want you to do is replace the entries in the Table of Contents with links to articles that represent the entries. Alternatively, post suggestions for likely articles in the message board attached to the article.
Find an article that matches an entry and replace the entry with a link to the article, updating the entry's text with the title of the article, and making the entry a hyperlink to that article. If you can't find an article then write one! Find a topic that suits you, author an article, and once it's approved by our members link it from the Table of Contents.
This is not a wiki in the traditional sense. There's no rollback and no versioning. It's an experiment we hope you enjoy."

Thomas Stockwell
