I regret not practicing C++

[Kurtis]

If you start with "if-then" statements, then you should probably be able to better understand coding.

That's the basic idea. It's also used in other maths.

I don't know what if-then statements are either...
I guess Google will be my best friend if I ever try to learn coding.

 

[StTheo]

If-then is basically cause and effect. If a condition is met, then a reaction occurs.

Also, NoDoz I took SIX FREAKIN HOURS AGO: I regret you.

Start with python, very forgiving language for beginners.

I wish I understood computer code but it honestly mind fucks me whenever I try to read it. Where did you guys learn how to do it?

It's really easy, but it depends what direction you want to go initially.

You can start with web programming and not even programming but using simple markup languages and stylesheets (HTML, XML, CSS, etc)

This will at least get you understanding how to apply syntax/code and make you a whole lot more ready to try scripting js/php where you will learn all the important parts to programming that will eventually lead to a solid understanding of stuff.

after you've learnt one, you can learn them all.


else you can go the desktop/mobile software programming side and start with java or python, or even basic scripting.

again, learn how to apply/use syntax in code, etc.


Once you understand how to use syntax and basic programming principles, you can really go at relatively any programming language you like.

Learning HtMl for IST (Information Software Technology) and I'm finding it really fun to practice and put into use. I keep running to a snag with how to embed a video in a html notepad document. When I use <e>Link</e> a hyper link to the video or absolutely nothing shows up, not an actual embedded video...image....thing...

I'm assuming I'm doing the code wrong so can anyone help me out with this?

Depends what the video is?

is it from youtube or hosted on the server/a local path?

if so, html5 does this super easily nowadays

I don't think i need to explain the code haha

<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
  <source src="/pathtomymovie/movie.mp4" type="video" />
<object width="320" height="240" src="movie.mp4">
</object>
</video>

That's not the actual code for embedding videos. The <e> tag is something proprietary to Team9000, which automagically detects the video site, scans it for info about the video ID and such, and expands it out into the full code for the embed. This is what our youtube embeds actually look like:

<div class="bbCodeEmbed">

<div style="width: 640px; height: 390px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;">

Will definitely not work for youtube. Not really sure where you got that syntax from -- "type" should never be "video." Type is a field used to indicate the mime-type of the file, so the browser can quickly determine if it has a codec available to play it or not, without having to put through a HEAD request to the server first.

the if so was relating to wether it was a path to a video rather than youtube/etc
and I was just using example data haha relax, plus most browsers autodetect even if there isn't a type these days

fixed*

Actually, the LEFTBRACKET and RIGHTBRACKET is literally just text. It prevents the iframe from loading before I want it to, as the <iframe> tag doesn't respect the display:none style (it used to). When you click on the thumbnail for a video, it fades in the nke_inner div, and replaces all the LEFTBRACKETs and RIGHTBRACKETs with actual brackets, causing the video to load.

Browsers support a very limited number of codecs regardless. If you haven't encoded it "specifically" for web, it's almost certain it won't play in all browsers. Especially Internet Explorer.

Yeah I realised and then deleted

that is fancy

edit: why wouldn't you just ajax it in with a pretty function instead? less times it has to write out that code

nothing works for ie though, it's almost redundant to bother writing code for ie.

but I get what you mean, I don't think he's going to be using anything too weird in terms of codecs though haha

The NKE system supports almost 45 video and audio sites (although many of them are disabled now, because they don't play nice with HTTPS). Rather than maintain a giant javascript file that knows how to produce them all (and worry about the client needing to get a fresh copy whenever I update it), I just produce the embed code in php. It has the side benefit that I can include NKE from almost any project easily (thus -- embeds work on the Team9000 Wiki as well).

oh wow, is it open source?
