SignUp Now!Awesome! Great to see another person like me I'm also looking to create some XenForo Add-ons, perhaps we can colab some day.Same as @Malcolm here tbh. The fact that you are making it from nothing is what intrigues me about it. Personally I've been fooling around with web development since I was a teenager but recently about 5 years ago I decided to try and learn again and ended up getting very good at designing web pages which I now can say is very easy for me to do. It's enjoyable to say the least. Recently I've been learning to create forum add-ons for Xenforo 2 and it's quite an interesting concept
Me ttoo!I hope everyone posts there stories ")

Me ttoo!
Oh awesome I'll keep that in mind. I tried making an add-on from the XenForo 2 manual when XF2 came out as beta. I was coding via cPanel file manager which was very challenging and is why I gave up lol. What's PHPStorm? Haven't heard of it before, that's an IDE? I have the paid version for Sublime too, haven't really used it to much lately though. Do you ever use Visual Studio, does compare to PHPStorm?Yes I've learnt the best way is to read the code under /src folder and load it into your IDE. Everything in the folder was meant for add-ons. When you read the source code you learn a ton more than if you were to supposedly try to open up a text editor and code from scratch. I still recommend phpstorm for learning purposes. Sublime I have myself and even paid for it but its hard to learn when you don't have advanced error checking and the ability to see what functions are available. It's not even about debugging though thats a neat feature too. It's good for html and css as well. Has support for node.js and javascript and any language you can practically think of even the css preprocessors
It's actually what the Xenforo devs use as per the XF 2 dev docs

I went to this church and the guy I hung around with into that stuff. It was around 2000. Also, around that time, I had bought a "website store in a box" scam - lol. O.K. it was a scam but fun and a learning experience.
Haha, it's so funny how many mistakes and lessons new admins have to learn from! How far along have you gone into development these days? Did you pursue coding?
