@cowboysdude oh yes i try to make a module for my ipcamera (dahua)
but it’s hard ! i start from 0 !

It’s good to have some basic knowledge of JavaScript. I’d recommend Code Academy or something similar if you’re starting from absolute zero!

@Eunanibus I want to literally understand all of the codings in the MagicMirror. So, what language do I need to learn? Because I can see that some files are CSS and HTML. Note to you, I have nearly zero in coding language. Or do I only need to learn Javascript.
I can see that this project as a learning tool for me. Thanks mate.

CSS, HTML and JavaScript go hand in hand. You need to know a little about one, to know what you can do to it (or with it) with the other. In this case, you’ll need a little knowledge of all three, and a little programming knowledge to boot.
If you’re just looking for a beginner project, I really wouldn’t recommend this to start, as you’ll run into problems, get disheartened and maybe quit (and nobody wants that!).
If you’re just starting, visit a website like Code Academy which will allow you to see your results interactively. This is a great place to start learning the basics, and it’s free. I wouldn’t jump straight into a bespoke module development project until you have a bit of experience making other things a little less specialised.

@Eunanibus Okay, thanks mate. I certainly will visit the Code Academy soon. Your reply is just the answer I need.

for sure thanks Eunanibus
