Web Design For New Bie

Hi, i had started a new topic, coz i would like to learn - how to start a new web site and manage it, how ever i am good at desktop programming

You might want to take a look at the tutorial forum. There's a lot of good information there posted by the members of the board. Best of all, it's there for your use. x3

The basic programming language for web sites is known as HTML. I'm not sure if you can find a simple guide here, but if not then just google for one. Don't try to memorize everything. Just try to get the code to work. I have to refer to a personal site all the time. You'll remember some things eventually. Really, that's the best way to learn.

The best way is learn by examples and google.com is your best friend. For full documentation, http://www.w3.org/html/ is the direct link to most of the basic resources.

Once you learn the foundation, then you can opt to learn CSS or any other languages.

Heres a good link for good HTML and other webpage language resources www.w3schools.com

W3schools online provides examples ect.

Once you have the basics of making a website signup for free hosting and try out your code!

You first need to learn the basics of HTML and CSS and then install Dreamweaver(not the best idea but that's how I did it). Download a template that you like and start from there. When you think you are seasoned with HTML and CSS go to Tizag and start on PHP. Whoever that guy is, his tutorials are helpful for dummies.

I learnt to create and design web pages using Frontpage. A lot of people like to criticize it, but I think it works for me. I've had my website for more than 5 years, changed new layouts several times and most people only have good things to say about the design

Best thing to do first of all would be to get yourself a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) HTML editor. This will allow you to be a website without having any knowledge of code. There are many free versions available, just search google.

For more advanced codes just visit one of the two sites listed below, that's where I get most of my stuff from as you can just search for what you want and cut and paste the code into your site.

Depending on the site you intend to create, you may need to pick up different skills and knowledge. In my opinion desktop programming is a whole different world from web programming, with much more considerations of your client. Marketing your site is also important. I suggest learning HTML, probably the most basic web language.

Check out the following:

www.w3schools.com

Thats the best website to learn htm, php, javascript, every programming language. If you want my advice on what to learn first, learn html first. Make sure you know everything there is to know about HTML then move onto javascript or PHP, once you've learnt those 3, the sky's the limit.
