Endless bugs... just me?

[Stoker]

I am a novice in coding. I always have been.
I dont do manuals. I simply fall asleep while reading boring stuff....

When I get an idea for something, I go look for examples of something similar, something to work from. This part Im real good at.
Then its just trial and error. Step by step, asking for help if needed.

So that is what I will suggest you pxdetroit. Find examples of something similar and work your way from that.
Its a good way of learning.

Haha, me too brother. Been coding on and off since BASIC in the 1980s. Still some days I'm completely lost (TWIG) without knowing where to start. I finally have a good enough grip on it now. I'm able to twig-call phpbb vars AND MY OWN LANGUAGE VARS. (WOOT!!! FINALLY!!)

Oh I do. Part of my problem is that I'm missing key things. (Because you have to adapt whatever example to your own site.) My daily driver is a win7 machine so it won't do VC code or any of that. Sure there are online editors but a phpbb site is so damn big. I have the biggest problem with functions and the css being spread out into so many different classes.

The trial and error stuff takes forever doing it all manually with name changes, FTP, cache, ad nauseum, for each little syntax change (trial).

There's a way to "set up a site" in DW. I should be on top of this but I just never have. Shameful negligence. Recently I'm thinking it would be so helpful. But I'm unsure about connecting it to the live server or figuring out how to make a local server. I tend to give up bc my DW8 is so old that sometimes it doesn't do modern css tricks so having "a site set up" in DW wouldn't necessarily speed up the trial-and-error process. Still, it would have to be better than manually doing every single change.

For a hot minute I had a win10 machine sitting here next to my daily driver (win7), running two sets of keyboards/mice lol. The whole purpose was to use vscode and the like. Then I signed up for CS50 beginners python and found out they do everything with an online editor anyway.

Anway I'm rambling. Back to work. No bugs today (if I close my eyes and look straight ahead lol) just finishing the content before I open to the public.

I'd love to hear what I you all use to code. (Me: Pathetic old DW8 and FileZilla)

Here's a list of top IDEs. I've used a few of these. You guys?
https://thectoclub.com/tools/best-ide-software/

1. IntelliJ IDEA — Best for Java development
2. PyCharm — Best for smart Python code editing
3. NetBeans — Best Maven support
4. WebStorm — Best for web development with JavaScript
5. RStudio — Best for R
6. Xcode — Best for Apple development

Hmmm... Are these used globally or do you have your own nationally?
I imagine you use those above either in english or in a major language translated version.
