Re: web programming/design as career profile

yes to an extent. W3schools tutorials are excellent although a book that comes with a CD is better

Re: web programming/design as career profile

windows is ASP.NET
linux is PHP

But you should bear in mi nd that like 65% of all the web servers in the world run linux or unix - not windows

Re: web programming/design as career profile

asp.net can also be run on linux just as php can be run on windows so don't let the server you have or use dictate what you learn.

Designing and programming are two VERY different things and while yes, you can pursue them both simultaneously, you will most likely find that you are better at one than the other.
