you simply start a project. ie, a website idea. a small website to do X. then you start asking google questions. for example, you need to do Y at any given moment for the project. all you need to do is to correctly name the operation - ie 'creating an inventory table in mysql'. google it, and voila - you will see there are hundreds of people who did it before you, and with cases too. even so that you may start going deeper and deeper from ensuing links, ending up in random analysis of best inventory table practices in mysql from here and there. of course this is not advisable at your level yet.
you have created a proper inventory table in mysql ? alright. move on to next question. for example, 'inventory website in php'. whoa broad topic. a lot of stuff. identify what is your particular project is similar with, and go deeper in your query. on and on.
you can ask anything you dont know. ie, how to do a mysql query in php. on and on, you will start to learn your language. AND, most important thing is, the most important thing for learning and doing anything, the enthusiasm, will never fade away, because you will always be reading up on the very exact question that is in your mind, instead of having to go through tedious course books that tell a million irrelevant things to the question at hand, until they come to the point you need.
i told that you are young. see, you still think that the world divides in two ; people who cant even start up computers, or those who can use computers.
in reality people are sprinkled over a spectrum in between those with the majority being on the 'cant start up a computer' side.
in some parts of the world people would take weighty stones laying about and crack his head open, if he had made such baseless accusations about them. he should be glad to be living in a country in which attempting to further private agendas by lies, defamation and bastardry is termed 'lobbying' and considered legal.
'this isnt new tech', 'i can get my cat to do it', this that bleh bleh.
once, and if you work in something that deals directly with people, you will see that all these rationalizations and conceptions are bullshit. there are billions of people out there who would amaze you every other day.
you still havent got it. you have no clue. you need to work with people in a dept. dealing directly with people. you will then learn that what you perceive as simple, is rocket science to majority of the population.
and ? because she is a secretary, she has to be able to do image editing in ms word ? the program which easily crashes even gaming computers when you attempt do do image shit with it ? not to mention that saves the image containing docs in the sizes going up to 100 mb ?
you are saying it yourself. she may not be knowing how to paste some word onto a picture in ms word. 'paste pic, type text, center the whole thing' you say is like a magical incantation for majority of people.
bullshit is yours. YOUR 10 YEAR OLD brother can do it. give it 2 years more, he will also whack your ass in counterstrike, wow, whatever game you have been playing for the last 5-10 years. each generation is becoming more computer literate. that is not as such for older generations. there is a generation limit, where the computer word becomes something mystic, something like a phantom. i get that you have never worked directly with people in i.t., tech support, or clients of different ages and socioeconomic statuses. when you do that, you will see the difference.
there is no correlation in between sending an email and using word. it may be unbeknowst to us, i.t. literate people, but, there are a lot of people who are not able to realize that sending an email and using a word document have any parallels or, one is not more complicated than the other.
actually so many people prefer to just log in and go about their business playing the game than trying to find people, organize and to 'achieve' doing things with, blizzard had to ease up all kinds of things regarding single player questing. you can do almost all quests alone. even, some group quests can be done alone. they had to ease up on the instances and raids, because it was being way too much hassle to organize and bring 40 players into raids for 3 hours. they dropped maximum hardest raid to 25 man, and majority of raids are 10 man and overwhelming activity in the game goes on in 5 man heroic instances. even for the instances, they had to bring an automatic group creator/finder system that brings players from all servers together (different servers, different realms) and allow them to make instances. this way, the annoying hassle of finding people, organizing and putting up with their issues (doorbell rang, phone, kid wants something and so on) were bypassed - you just que randomly with 5 random ready people instead of waiting for 5 people you can reach to be ready. the problem of creating groups for raids still there, you need to organize the lives of a lot of people to do a raid, and it deters a lot of people.
really, i very much prefer being able to get immersed in the storyline, doing my questing than dealing with random hassles of people that i am forced to do things with. moreover, such forced multiplayer questing and gaming also breaks immersion of the storyline in a game world. imagine - you are doing a quest of importance, there is much lore, there is much content in it, but, someone has to go to wc. leave aside needing to wait for someone else's hassle online, the very fact that knowing 'someone has to go to wc' totally breaks immersion itself.
another result of capitalism. they feel the need to throw in anything that can ramp up profits, even things that are actually not necessary. they are not taking risks with shareholders' profits, but, screwing up the gamer in many ways without knowing.
you are a computer programmer. YOU can create a simple poster for your missing cat. ALL people cant do it. there is nothing fucking wrong about helping people those who cant. EVEN if they are not able to do it at that moment because they are panicking.
however there is something grandly wrong about being a fucking prick about one's own skill to that extent.
so, it is a huge waste of time for an 'artist' to put a few copy/pastes in photoshop, to create a printable poster for a missing cat then. the cat, which may be injured, or needing help, or scared somewhere. an entity which is part of a certain family, and a factor of the love in that family in their own home.
so, apparently, his skill is SO not worthless that, he takes the time to insult and shit about it, like a prickly bastard.
why, but thats precisely what da vinci, michelangelo, monet would do, isnt it ?
i have two elaborate, well accentuated, insightful words full of meaning about his skills :
ibm has been way too chummy with open standards and supported open source initiatives. as per a dastardly lobby group in usa declared recently, open source is harmful to profits. (their). they even equated it with piracy. hence, now, corporations are punishing ibm for being too chummy with open source. talk about mafia.
gaming industrialized circa 1995, with the advent of cd. big companies moved into gaming, bought or smashed out small companies, or small companies got bigger. 'competition' ensued, which was supposed to be a good thing. but, competition was to get the most money to please shareholders with minimum risk.
what happened ? innovation, free spirit, enthusiasm of discovery, excitement, adventure that made its way into games in early days of gaming in 10-15 years preceding 1995 got out of the picture. it was much better to capitalize on existing formats, tried and surefire methods, even existing titles than to take risks with new things. everything is to please shareholders.
and because all the companies did or had to do it, at least which have a wide reach, people came to accept this as the reality of gaming. unfortunate in itself, for those who remember 1980-1995. ironically, games of those time still play good in regard to gameplay, and actually most of the prime titles that are selling again and again in 2,3,4,5...... ^n, are the reincarnations of those days' games.
not only the games deteriorated in quality, but also their prices have gone up, and stabilized at certain price levels. thanks to the perception of marketing departments of megacorps, which decide these things independently and at large.
this is the way with capitalism. supposed competition does not end up being to the favor of the customer - all companies try to escape with the minimum satisfaction they can get away, while taking maximum money with no risk. and when entire industries act in this mindset, mediocrity becomes a standard, and people come to accept mediocrity as the reality of life.
i would like to meet the moron who downmodded this troll. it would take someone to have a lot of upside down mind with sarcasm etc to be unable to recognize a honest exclamation of appreciation anymore.
no wait, on second thought, i wouldnt want to meet that moron.
