I am have been on C++ some time now and making good progress and that is mainly what I discuss on ypn, but my specialty is web development. I am very skilled in HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and very good in Perl/CGI. The reason I am saying this is because I have been loyal to the community since I first joined as 'AcidBurn' and would be trustworthy. If Peter, fabs, or svara need help with anything to do with this site don't hesitate to ask because I would be happy to pay back the community for all the help it has given me. The only problem is I am not a PHP guru at all, but there are many other things I can do. Just ask and you got it (I use notepad for my web coding, but will use an editor like front page if you would prefer)


Btw, I even have my first paying client just so you know I am not totally incompetent

ok, first:
I'm also a developer of the YPN's page stuff and so on but I think svara isn't developing on sasq and those at all (not sure tho)

2nd:
NEVER! NEVER! use FrontPage
Since all of us YPN-developers are on linux, we prefer code that has UNIX-breaklines If you give us code written with any windows editor (afaik) we will have to fiz all those breaklines first. It's the same the other-way around. You will have to get rid of those UNIX-breaklines if you use windows editors.
But you're welcome to look at the sasquatch source code
[addsig]

I want to have a look also!!! Where can I see? [addsig]

I said I will use an editor if you would like me to, but I stick to notepad for all my web coding. [addsig]

Error: Thanks for the offer, of course it's great to hear somebody wants to give back to the community and we shouldn't really get stuck on breaklines here
Anyway, currently Peter, KaGez and myself are coding on the website, mainly in PHP. Peter has written the design and we are actually quite happy about it. However, if you have suggestions concerning the design, contact Peter, please.
Gnerally, you should check out the code we have already written and the one which is currently under development. sasq is on my server: fabs.tk and I'll wrap up a tarball from the CVS-server of yowie tomorrow if the developers are ok with that (maybe they don't want to release to anyone yet )

Anyway, about the choice of editor: yes, it's true, we'd prefer unix-break-lines but there should be several tools out there to convert windows-break-lines to unix once. It is however somewhat important that you try to stick to the standard because it's really annoying to edit windows-textfiles in emacs
If you're trapped on windows, download yourself a unix editor (emacs would be my favourite, vi is another very loved one). There are actually windows-versions of these cool text-editor and I'm sure you'll find their functionality quite appealing. notepad is not a bad editor and may be called one of the best programs m$ has ever written (at least it's not bloated ), however, it really has no functionality but editing.
I used to code in it to before I switched to a free operating-system.

I think there also was a editor called "UltraEdit32", which was able to set UNIX-bkreklines too. I'm not sure about this, but when I used it before I think I've seen such a function
[addsig]

yeah, that's true. Ultraedit supports it. I don't like it much though cause of it being shareware and closed-source. But if you're on windows anyway, you must be used to the limited freedoms
fabs

About breaklines: Wordpad can be used to open files with UNIX-breaklines.
I used it before when I had Windows.

Thanks...

fyi people I have a linux computer with emacs and other editors. Just thought you should know.

erm... ofcourse Notepad can _open_ files with UNIX breaklines.... did you really open a file with UNIX breaklines? if so, you should have seen black squares instead of breaklines and tabs ....
[addsig]

Wordpad can read UNIX-breaklines without screwing up the formatting.

then my Wordpad is broken too :/
[addsig]

NoteTabPRo is best text editor ever. it supports all kind of breaklines.

i use it.
i looks like Gedit a little bit. and has commands library where u can include parts of code. like beggining of the page in html, or mysql connection in php.

i love it.

I think I'll stick with vim and emacs, even if I have to use windows some day
[addsig]

Same for me...maybe Vim and emacs are quite complicated for newbies - but they offer extreme power to the skilled user [addsig]
