Reddit Programming

Right now, I have:

Properties:

• Red
• Green
• Blue
• Hue
• Saturation
• Value
• ColorInteger (color as simple integer/long value)

Methods:

• Darken ( Amount )
• Lighten ( Amount )
• Desaturate ()

Any other ideas? I plan on learning by writing classes that I can use later one once I'm better, and I want to make them as good as possible to avoid having to rewrite them too much later on.

I've already written a pretty good string class which acts just like a string from Visual Basic 6 since that's the language I'm coming from. I probably won't use that one though since the C++ STL string seems pretty comprehensive.

I plan on making some other ones afterward: Animation, Date, and other redundant/probably unnecessary classes for the sake of learning.

Here's the site I'm working on for an upcoming video project I'm starting with a friend.

The problem is when I look at the page in Chrome, sometimes the page is really wide. The page itself looks okay and lines up okay, but there is a horizontal scrollbar. And then, sometimes, when I simply refresh, it's gone.

I can't replicate this glitch in Firefox, Opera, Safari, or IE. But since Chrome is my main browser, it's driving me crazy.

If anyone cares to take a look at my code and help me figure out what's wrong, I'd more than appreciate it. Just let me know how I can repay you. ._.

For the record, I modified this theme.

• style.css

• Current, modified version of Wordpress theme, rar'ed

EDIT: Going to sleep now, but I promise I'll respond in the morning if anyone out there was kind enough to help. Thanks!

I really like the idea of creating programs... I really suck at learning programming too. (I've only really used AS3) I've made my own websites with this. From scratch, no add on or plugins. What I end up with is really shitty code. Lots of unnecessary repeated code. I just can't wrap my head around it though. I just recently understood the IDEA of a function and a variable but I still can't implement them well...

I am a visual person. That's why I like flash AS3. I can create stuff quickly and manipulate it. The connection between the object and the code is obvious to me and makes sense. It's the world of logic that programming lives in that I'm finding hard to penetrate. I've said "Hello World" many times and have yet to get a response. I have lots of ideas. I want to be able to make them a reality.

I feel like if there was a really good book or series of tutorials that I could work on I would be able to understand programming enough to feel confident in making whatever I wanted. I'm willing to put in time.

I'm not saying I would become Stephen Wolfram after reading a few books. Just more capable.

I don't specifically need help with AS3. I need help with the logic of programming in general. At least that's what it feels like.

Anybody have any good advice/book/brain for transplant?

Thank You

(I imagine taking some classes would be an obvious answer but that's not an option for me unless it's online and free)

Not sure if the rules are any different than your standard procrastination. I'd like to hear some thoughts on it though. Specifically if you suffer from it but have strategies to beat it that work.
