Hi all,
After 6 months trying out XHTML and CSS(Cascading Style Sheets), I'm starting to get sick of it. CSS, I mean. For those of you noobs, CSS is a kind of coding add-on(a language) that you use with HTML web pages to give it various aesthetic and visual effects to make it look cool. You can use CSS to layout your entire web site(the old table method of laying out web pages is outdated and messy). You can use CSS to color your fonts, customize and add color effects to web controls, setting backgrounds to each HTML item(like the headings, a piece of text, anything). Heck, you can even use CSS to do simple dynamic actions, like JavaScript.
However, the biggest problem is that when you preview your CSS code in different web browsers(FireFox and IE), you get vastly different results.
For once, I code a menu that works fine in FireFox, but really screws up in IE.
I went to fix it so that it works in IE and FireFox, but then it fails on Opera. Take Konqueror and Safari(all web browsers) into the picture and you'll starr in Mission : Impossible 4.
And even if you're lucky to find a hack or a fix so that it works fine on all browsers, there won't be any logical explanation behind it(not even the top experts know anything), unlike in C++ programming, whereby there's a scientific/logical explanation for every bug. So, most of the time, you're correcting the bugs/glitches blindly and that's really perverted.
I'm really sick of this nonsense CSS crap : fixing visual inconsistencies across various web browsers with no real explanations for most of these solutions. Their theories are so mashed up and interpreted differently by various web browsers; your mercy lies in the hands of whatever Mozilla, Opera or Microsoft chooses to implements. Combine that with various OSes(MacOS, Linux, Solaris, Windows XP/Vista and OS/2) and you get a maze of always-inconsistent **** enough to drive you to become Osama Bin Laden II.
As if that's not bad enough, you've JavaScript's serious inconsistencies as well. If you think that testing your C++/C#/VB.Net software on Windows 2000/XP is bad, try this web crap.
However, I'm not going back to C++/C#/VB.Net either. That's just another end of he|| for me; the West side, I think......while the CSS/JavaScript side is the East side. :rolleyes:
On a side note, however, my interests has always been in programming and computing(software, not hardware), although not in the complex algorithms side.
Programming offers me exercises to my brains and I feel so delighted when I code something and preview it, and hola-aloha! It works! C++/MFC can offer me that, but only to a certain level, because then, it gets too complicated for me to like it anymore.
The web programming world is free and fun, but the many inconsistencies really puts you off and you start to miss C++. But then you go back to C++/C# and the problem comes again and you're sick.
Either I'm a sicko, or I haven't found the programming language/technology that fits me nicely.
O' all you elite coders out there.......is there any programming language/computing area(software-based) that isn't too complicated(advanced C++ is rocket-science to me), allows you to be creative and offers visual-graphical stuff?(cool sleek GUI and pretty graphics, instead of mostly code etc.)
I've thought of Flash ActionScript, but then, you need to draw well to create any professional Flash sites......augh.....I suck at art.
Shall I go back to my old trade as a pimp? :cry:
NO.......THIS CANNOT BE!!!! SOMEONE, OFFER ADVICE, PLEASE!
