building a website can be a pita daunting task...

Every time I finish one part, I find 2 more that need to be fixed, or implemented. New sections, code, etc. It's even more of a pita when I get stuck because I'm learning as I go.

bah... I'm 968 lines of code so far.
 
what is a "line of code" in a website?

BTW, if you design your software before you start building it, you wont get surprised by things that you have to add in at the last moment, and your software will come out better in the end.
 
Use a WYSIWYG editor to help you...a program like Dreamweaver can be great at producing clean code in a fraction of the time...
 
the code is all the php.

Anyway, I just kind of jumped right in and learning how to do something as I come to it.
 
Hard coding a website > WYSIWYG editor.

I have tried using Dreamweaver, GoLive, Frontpage to design websites, doesn't work out very well 🙁

I own a really, really good domain name, and have the perfect idea on how to capitalize on it. I've owned it for about 4 years, and spent the first 3 designing the site, and the last year writing the code. I had every rule, function, table, etc, planned out before I created a single line of code. In regards to the actual coding procedure to make something happen, I learn that as I need it. Aka, now I need to do.... "X" so I grab the CF manual I have and go from there.

BTW, I like CF Studion 4 or 5. Its a really nice, color coded text editor (not WYSIWYG), and it differentiates between CF, HTML, etc.

people still use CF?
 
use dreamweaver, but use just the code section as it has very good syntax highlighting. using the editor itself is not as good, as the code wont be the same as you would have done if you had done it by hand.

PHP is supposedly simple. im gunna try and learn ASP.net over the summer, i have a slight background now in JSP, and JSP was a bitch.
