Beginner in Code for Web Development?

Expand Post »
Hi,
Pretty simple question here. I am just wondering about putting together my first website. I have the new Photoshop CE and I would like to use this to put the website together. BUT... I am pretty good with the mouse and clicking around and using photoshop but I want to get better with the code behind it and be able to build with code.

Where do I begin? Language? What sort of help can you give me?

Any help would be terrific and so very appreciated

Thanks again,

VBM

Re: Beginner in Code for Web Development?

this is how i did it:

Learned HTML > XHTML > JAVASCRIPT> PHP

i also learned ajax (pretty much javascript) and xml (really easy).

there are many other choice for server side scripting you can look into thoughs and see what you like best.

Re: Beginner in Code for Web Development?

Start learning asp.net, because then you could use visual web developer 2008 express edition, which is absolutely remarkable, for a free software.

To start, go to www.asp.net
Then click on LEARN, and just start watching the asp.net introduction videos!
Thats how i did it, and look at what ive accomplished just after a couple of months: www.thefilegarage.com

And whatever you choose, the most important thing is to KEEP AT IT!

p.s. You dont make a website with photoshop. You only use photoshop to make the logos and graphics and stuff.

Re: Beginner in Code for Web Development?

@hervens you sound like these promotion guys from microsoft that come to our universty few days back. Talking how all they application are wonderfull and reliable, they mistake that they did not check that over 50% of equipment is runing on Linux in our uni. Showing of Silverlight (poor copy of Flash), Expression (never get to level with Photoshop Elements so it will be no competition for full version of Photoshop) and ASP? Just please do not mention it! One of the slowest websites on net are actualy builded from ASP, I rather learn PHP or take little longer to do my website with JSP

@Vic842 - first learn HTML and CSS, have quick look on JavaScript to get feeling what programming can be like. Once you familiar with these technologies check out PHP, advanced JavaScript and AJAX, and choose what is most suitable to you. If you have spare time have aslo look on XML and databases (MySQL for example)

Re: Beginner in Code for Web Development?

Once you reach advnce topics it would be good if you look on server solution (twaeking Apache, adding modules, security issues etc.), have look into how to build&run forums.
Beside all this technical stuff you can also try multimedia, Flash is still popular for web design, I even seen somebody still running website based on Director...

@peter_budo. Director is due for a huge makeover. Just for some reason Adobe are taking their sweet time.

@Vic842. If you already know Photoshop, then have a look at splitting the images. Then use (X)HTML and CSS to put it all together into a website.

Re: Beginner in Code for Web Development?

dude, learn HTML/CSS first using notepad (without an graphical editor!!!!!!) and you will learn much more about how it actually works plus you will make far far better, faster sites.
