Next learn how to code a JavaScript game in one minute: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXzagaqqeZJ8Y7s

[@ayyoubm]

I learnt how to code in HTML and CSS last week, and have been wondering:" okey I can make a simple website now, but how can I put it online so that people can visit it?". the video came just in time. special thanks to you.

[@CrissCHG]

How long did it took you to learn it?

[@CrissCHG]

@@Ayasir-lo3ir from the momento You started learning yo now ? Only 2 days or more like 2/3 months

[@Ayasir-lo3ir]

​@@CrissCHG nope I learned it a long time ago I have learned javascript, react, python,, basics of c++ and java and learned data structures and algrothuims fully now I am 16 years old, I suggest you learn a language then do data structure and the algorithm it can be daunting but it's okay what about you?

[@CrissCHG]

@@FoxInFlame but like to learn Javascript with HTML and css to be competent and get Jobs how much time

[@FoxInFlame]

@@CrissCHG You want jobs in your local area making homepages for bakeries and small businesses? Not many require advanced JavaScript, so if you are focused every day, doable also in 1-2 months. You want jobs at Google and major tech companies? You need to learn a different language, since mastering HTML/CSS/JavaScript is absolutely not enough. Around 5 years of continued experience with various programming languages would be acceptable.

[@coderchic]

This is actually really helpful. My website wasn't directing to my domain name and for months didn't know what it was until today. Thank you!

This is a useful video. I like how it tells you the most basic start to finish on a basic website, but it's enough to branch off from and start creating big things!

Me: purchases a new tech domain *Opens KZbin* FCC: *Posted 30 minutes ago* How to put a website online - creation, domain, hosting, dns

[@malvarez3611]

thanks for uploading this. it really helps me a lot!

[@PeterSedesse]

when attaching your domain name to your actual hosting, as he said, it can take more than 12 hours before you can use the domain name to see your website. However, on your hosting site, they will give you an IP address, which is just http: followed by a lot of numbers. You can type the IP address into your browser to see your website while waiting for the domain name to work. When I first started doing websites (back in the stone ages), I was always a little paranoid if I had uploaded my files to the correct folder on the hosting site. Using the IP address during those initial 12-48 hours allows you to verify you uploaded correctly even before the domain name is ready.
