ゴメンナサイ

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

html and css are not programming, html is a markup language (used to format and lay out text, like we do in comments). web design can involve programming, but simple html markup does not.

not to insult you, your comment's otherwise great, but just saying.

it's not programming, but learning how to define objects and how those objects interact in css is good baby training wheels for a more object-oriented approach to programming.

it won't make you a programmer by any means, but it might let someone get close enough to the necessary mindset and approach to fake it at the level of detail needed for rp.

Simple HTML doesn't, but making a whole webpage from scratch is most definitely programming even if it is simple. HTML is indeed considered a very basic programming language

And CSS does have some programming to it. Look at the code, it does resemble other programming languages, even down to the point of having documentation. But like the other anon said, the idea was to give something practical to try that will help OP anon better understand the mindset of the character because RP isn't going to need them to actually write code, so there's no need to learn more than terms for something like C++ or Java. What they will need is to understand the process and mindset of the character and CSS and HTML will provide that because they do have similar tenets and processes as other programming languages have, they just are far more simple because they are more inserting additional code into something already programmed.
