The click click of the lobster's claws, high in their perches in the maple trees are calling, Ian. Darkness nears; syrup-drunk moose stagger in blueberry bogs, pursued by moon-mad malamutes. You will find no shelter in server-side includes and no warmth in coffee brandy. Garb yourself in Bean, head with the masses to the drowned coast and pray to lose yourself in the masses so when it comes it sates itself on them before it reaches you.

Well this is a strange thread. Now who's Dilbert? (It can't be that comic guy) @PCjr what do you have against maine? Nevermind that, what are you trying to say? @Evol262: I don't know half of what I'm exactly doing, I can never catch up to the rapid lecture material, and I could care less about making websites. I'm just trying to learn programming skills to get into things like CIA analysis, and I've been slaving over this since Thursday after I flunked a test for getting one part of image link-coding wrong! To be more specific, I'm currently trying to get up an example thumbnail and background image before figuring out how to add a footer and two sides. And then dread the next big, confusing assignment that will be due in three weeks in an endless cycle of torture.

Speaking of, did you guys every play on those sites that taught you how to 'hack' by looking through the HTML and page references trying to find the next set of credentials or whatever that allow you to progress? I just searched it and found https://www.try2hack.nl so I guess I know what I'm doing during coffee time tomorrow morning.

Computers are rapid. If you don't understand the material now, it's only going to get worse. Utilize office hours or get a tutor.

And something you like shouldn't be "torture". If you don't like it and you're not good at it, how do you expect to do it for 40 years?

I honestly don't know. I just (kind of) chose this course back in august as a test-run in IT. Which has apparently become a terrible mistake. I cannot make this poo poo up if I tried.

Grouchio, you really need to speak with an admissions counselor about finding a computer class that'll help you get caught up. I don't know what your background is, there's room for a lot of different skillsets in IT, you might be able to do a really good job in the right places once you get the basics down.

If you jump into a 200 level course with no understanding of how the internet or webpages work (or are supposed to work) and can't keep up with the assigned reading, you're gonna have a bad time no matter how passionate you might be. Go look at this and do it. Grouchio posted:Unfortunately the webpage it goes to is not only private, but happens to be on a thumb drive that I probably left on campus (the professor has it probably). If you mean that the HTML on your C drive links to a thumb drive, I don't even... How do you think the thumb drive is going to get the same drive letter on his PC and the links won't be totally broken? Don't use file:///. Host your stuff online somewhere. There are free web hosts. You can even dump it to github. Learn how to use git (or some other source control, but github is so stupid easy for new people there's no reason not to use it). Put your stuff in source control.
