im so tired of this (I just need advice on java+pics dont worry)

[cult_status18]

I just spent an hour trying to use Lyte Box and I'm just done with it. I hate it so much. I literally did everything to make it work so I'm not using it anymore. I would rather just code the java myself but I have no idea how java works and I'm wondering if any of you can mollify me here and give some advice on how to use java or at least some resources to get me started because I don't want this to happen again I spent so long collecting up my pictures and downloading then lyte box failed on me its sopposed to be easy to use and it refused to work properly so please give me some advice if you can and please don't ignore me like last time I know you learned java from somewhere so tell me

Hi.
I actually never learned Java myself, but the programming languages I know I learnt via reading various online tutorials from different sources. I then practiced, and eventually went back to various tutorials again (which I usually searched then using search engines) - either because I had specific questions, or I felt I had to refresh the basics.

So, from a quick check, I think that https://www.w3schools.com/java/default.asp looks pretty promising. I also have good experiences with Wikibooks when entering programming languages, and they have a book for Java available as well.

Also, since you expressed a certain frustration about not receiving answers here and elsewhere: I don't think this is anything personal. I'd rather assume that there aren't that many members around here that even use pure Java (most of the users here are using HTML+CSS+JS for what they do, from what I can tell) in the first place. And I can understand that those who do (if they even noticed your thread) don't want to use their time to help you fix anything AI-generated - many of the users here (including myself) see these kind of technology as malicious, that generates sub-par results. So, saying that you want to learn to do things yourself is definitely the better path.

However, it is also noteworthy that this community is rather small, and not focused on programming. So, if you have very specific, programming-oriented questions, boards outside the web-revival-space, like StackOverflow, might be a more reliable place to search for help.

Is it possible you are confusing JavaScript and Java? (They are totally different languages and entirely unrelated) - the only thing I found when searching Lytebox https://github.com/fluffy-dutchman/Lytebox - it’s a very old git repository for some sort of JS script (does it display images - if so these days people mostly use CSS without a JS library for this task)

At any rate, this is a very rude way to ask a question; you didn’t explain what you wanted, you didn’t give any code or describe what has gone wrong for you. Please ask questions in a polite fashion if you want further assistance

Yeah thats what I said it was a mistake and I wanted to fix it it olny happened because I didn't know how java worked I dont like AI just like the rest of you I olny did it because I was lost and I was worried about people being harmed by my site so I just needed it asap regardless of the method I needed a seizure warning  thats all and thank you for the links thats all I was asking for ill definitely take a look(^_^)

I never thought of that as rude this seems to be a problem for me online where I just say something I thought was normal but it comes off as rude I guess ill try harder next time and thank you for clarifying that and it does make sense now because I was using the  .js file when I should have just been using
.css ill make sure to proof read next time

Its ok, I've made more than one stressed code-help post in my life and I do understand 

However when you ask people for help, you're asking them to gift you some of their time and experience. Most people are happy to do that; but you have to help make it easy for them by:

• Explaining in detail what your issue is; no one else knows but you, so you have to fully explain it.
• Describing (with code) what you have done to try and solve the issue and why it didn't work.
• Linking to any related webpages, sites or tutorials you're following.
• Being patent and not putting your stress on the people you're trying to get help from.

Those are hard things todo when your upset and trying to figure something out  But its the only way to get any good help from people!

Yeah idk the internet sucks for people like me higher standards here I guess most other places help when I don't give much on a post so im sorry for wasting the space ill try and use stack flow more and ill try and add some more flare to my posts if that's what people need from me it just sucks adjusting to the indie web and it hurts to be called rude too but that was my fault so I get that mabey ill move to a different forum im not an artist and I feel like I probably don't belong here

Stack overflow members will want exactly the same info I asked you to provide, and people there deserve the same level of respect that anyone here does
