Question Where should I go next

I've learned HTML CSS,javascript, and a wee bit of python and C++. In order for me to become the greatest programmer of all time ( ), where do you guys think I should go?

What do you mean by "go"?

1. Go to a company for a jo.
2. Go to learn more (tech school?).
3. Go to college (e.g., MIT?).
4. Go for you next language to leanr (e.g, Visual C++?)

More verbage, please, and I'll tell you where to go! (LOL, couldn't resist that one ).

You'll need more than a "wee bit" of C++ to be succesful. GO to the library and get a book on Vis C++ then GO to the store and buy vis C++. Then go to your computer and learn

Then make a webpage advertising yourself using some of those CSS effects in it Maybe a little JavaScripting in there too.

Learn more CSS.

Teach yourself to code in HTML properly, learn w3c guidelines off by heart.

Learn php...great fun, a full manual. Throw in a db (pref mySQL) too (viva oss!! ) and you have a good mix. I always say this but apart from CSS it is the best thing you'll learn IMHO.

IMHO - in my humble opinion

just to add to what I said above, if you don't want to do php then get a db anyways...try asp and msaccess though they are highly insuperiar (sp??) to php and mySQL. you'll have to either get a host that support MySQL and php or install them on your own computer if you want to use them though.

Oh yeah, you know a server that can support php and cgi? At the moment I have angelfire. Plus, do you know any other languages that can be used for programming on the comp, not the internet?

fephisto -- LEAVE ANGELFIRE..... That's all I can say.

netfirms.com is a good choice and they do support cgi(never checked for php) You have a pretty good storage space over there and there are tons of other guidelines.

Oh yeah, w3c guidlines suck! Forget about them

If it works, don't break it!

Coding guidelines make the world go round

Fopr a free host with mySQL and php try tripod, or just set it up on your own computer.
