No, I want to if I can realistically create a website in 5 months with near enough no knowledge and whether I need to learn an entire language or not... If its not then Ill scrap the website idea completely.

Hey, In my school all student who don't study theology have to do an extended project where you can either do a campaign + 1000 word essay or just a 5000 word essay. My idea, as long I can get the go ahead from my teachers, was to create a functioning website. I've dabbled with web design previously but thats only basic html but i'm fully aware of how to get a domain and how to host it. I want the website to be similar to formspring/ask fm but where people can submit opinions/ set subjects (in a status form) as well as ask questions obviously. I chose this particular type of site because the examples I used seemed quite 'lite' if you understand what I mean, as in not built up and complex. I identify the key forms of the website as Registering accounts/logging Submitting data/ storing data Making the website visually pleasing Structuring the website The website doesn't even have to operational at the end of the process, I just need to research and show sources, plan everything and present it in an essay form. What I need to know is from you guys is Is it do able by April 2013 What do I need to learn for each particular form? Would I need to learn an entire programming language or just for the parts I require? What sources could I use for what I need to learn? E.g 'whatever' for dummies book series Programs I'd need seeing as im on mac Its a project I'd probably like to continue running after, thats if it is possible. Thanks

What did you study at a level for computer science - physics, maths and what else? How intensive was it because I find it difficult to study at home and i dont want to take on four rigorous subjects..

I can't specify what I really want to do but I definitely want to go to uni. I've always had the idea of web design would be something i'd have interest in but if its not worth going to uni for I dont know aha.

New to the forums so hey Im due to make my choices for a-level shortly after the end of the month and im wondering what subjects will benefit me the most. I understand that physics, maths and applied ICT are all related but are these necessary to continue on to university. I have no problem with studying physics and ICT but i've heard a-level maths is very difficult even though I achieved an A in my science and maths GCSE mock papers. I'm terrible though for rigorous studying and pressure at home so im worried about having to juggle maths, physics, ict and possibly art. - Is physics and maths more computer science because i took a gander at that stuff on the net and it looked like it would wreck me completely? aha. Anyways, I was looking at this >http://www.bbk.ac.uk/study/ug/webdesignanddevelopment/UFSWEBTC.html< as a university requirement but they didn't give a useful example of what was required. They say good numeracy skills but what does that require :| I've had experience with web design up to a point, im fine with the folder structures, uploading via ftp and im fine with setting up hosting and domain even though im yet to be taught any web design at school. I want to be ahead the game as much as a can so i can try to progress my grade so im thinking about starting that stuff up again. But i've tried before and havent had much luck since moving to mac finding a free program which i can start learning some coding in so if anyone can recommend a free/cheap program, that would be great. Any feedback is great because I have literally no idea what to do at the moment! Thanks, Jay.
