Peggy 08-30-2006, 07:21 AM Unfortunately, your fee isn't doable for me.
Good luck!
I would like to do this, but my DH says I need a basic PHP course first.
Peggy 08-30-2006, 08:24 AM he's probably right
miner 08-30-2006, 08:32 AM you dont need to know php to design vB skin, its easily can be customised by anyone, but must be good at creating gfx...
this course will teach you do it in simple way, but knowing php will be added benefit, you can create better skin designs...

www.php.net
If you know another language, you can get up to speed fast. If not, there are tons of free ways to learn php. However, you have to learn the ins and outs of programming in general. PHP is a bit tougher to learn because of the fact it's not a console and requires HTML for the output.
You can do it, just give it time. My advice is to look at existing hacks and see what you can garner from reading them. But again, it can be done for free. Some people like books, so budget 50 to 100 bucks for that.
Have fun and feel free to ask for help anytime.
Good luck

Thanks Noppid!!!! I'm going to check out that site.
Peggy 08-30-2006, 11:34 AM Thanks Noppid!!!! I'm going to check out that site.
ha me too!
noppid 08-30-2006, 11:53 AM I kinda used the term depends on HTML loosely. You don't need to output HTML. Plain text is fine. But when building a website, it's necessary to understand, you have to create the HTML for php to output. PHP programming has nothing to do with making the actual web page. PHP's job is to get the data, sort it and then allow you to plug that data into the appropreate place in the HTML so the data makes sense and the HTML organizes it for the the user in a usable or understandable format.

My DH said something like that. He is teaching himself PHP right now.
Big Dan 08-30-2006, 10:26 PM Just out of couriousity, who or what is DH? .. I hear you refer to him frequently but cannot figure out the acryo. :confused:
Peggy 08-30-2006, 10:40 PM Dear Hubby

Oh my ears! :p
Ladies you should be ashamed of yourselves!
:D
Peggy 08-30-2006, 10:59 PM lmao.... welllllllllllllllllllllll....
They are lieing! :mad:
It's secret code for dickhead! :rolleyes:
Sometimes...:p
noppid 08-30-2006, 11:34 PM Ah Ha! I knew it!
But unfortunatly, I can wear that label proudly thank you. :p
Peggy 08-30-2006, 11:58 PM have YOU been drinking?? :p
noppid 08-31-2006, 12:05 AM have YOU been drinking?? :p
Um er, this time, yes in fact.
Peggy 08-31-2006, 12:07 AM I knew that already :p
protoss 08-31-2006, 11:57 AM Great idea, I have all the required tools. Problem, I tend to fumble my way through CS2.
Well TBH, I do fumble my way through it.
Peggy 08-31-2006, 12:01 PM Great idea, I have all the required tools. Problem, I tend to fumble my way through CS2.
Well TBH, I do fumble my way through it.
lol.. you're light years ahead of me. I have no idea how to use PS cs2 even tho I have it :rolleyes:
Hell³ 08-31-2006, 02:44 PM I recommend you the Photoshop 7 WOW! Book. You won't have the latest gizmos of CS/CS2 but for learning good PS techniques it's a great book. I don't think there is an updated edition yet, but you might want to check your local bookstore.
For learning the basics I believe the Sam's teach yourself Adobe Photoshop in 24 hours is great to quickly learn the ropes.
protoss 08-31-2006, 03:01 PM If I were younger Hell³, I'd go for the extra learning, gawd the sites I visit for tips. It's a question of time. Not enough. Learning at my age, it err, takes a bit longer to sink in, does for me. I'll stick to fumbling my way through CS2. It works . :rolleyes:
Peggy 08-31-2006, 03:03 PM hush pro... you're only a couple of years older than me. You're making me feel senile :o
protoss 08-31-2006, 03:06 PM I hope he enjoys it . :D
Hell³ 08-31-2006, 03:43 PM I'm just a bit younger than both of you and I don't have the time either, I could browse all day around the tutorial and tips sites, or the online help, and not find the kind of info this two books have. Time and life savers I tell you.
And for the record, I enjoyed it. *ducks and runs FAST*
Peggy 08-31-2006, 04:08 PM And for the record, I enjoyed it. *ducks and runs FAST*
lol.... you are SO asking for it darlin'... ;)

Shelley 09-01-2006, 08:25 PM Anyone wanting to learn photoshop should definetely give this Photoshop Tutorial Resource (http://www.heathrowe.com/) a visit. Not only will it save you money, this guy goes into great detail on how the Tools & Features are best used.
If it's graphic construction you are wanting to learn this is defientely the site for you with the added bonus that anything you learn can be ported over to any styling projects you may start.
Peggy 09-04-2006, 07:41 AM hmmm I've been to this site, and read through his tutorials. Seems his tuts are geared more towards intermediate-level PS users.
I'm more at the very beginning/basic skill level for PS. I've been using Paint Shop Pro for years, PS is soooooooooooo different.
