start with downloading design programs such as...Dreamweaver, Frontpage, or whatever you think is best. You probably want nice buttons and rollover effects, then you need to install programs like Paint Shop Pro, Fireworks, Photoshop for graphic design. You need to know the basic codes from HTML (WebDesign Language) But maybe you already know that. Search on search engines for example google. And you need to know, patience is a must tongue.gif so... I aint a super webdesigner, but I know the basics, and I know some tricks you can do with fireworks and paint shop pro. So if you have any questions. you can contact me and we will see if i can help you.

succes!!

First, start learning about web design. Then depending on your interest, i mean either you can start using different scripting languages like PHP/Perl.

If you really want learn the programming then try Java/jsp. Here you will have jsp as scripting language but you will have power of JAVA. With Java you can do many things. There are many free development tools like Eclipse, Netbeans as IDE's. Free servers like Tomcare and free database like MySQL..

Or try ASP/.NET.....

Also, there are thousands of tutorials on web, so start digging and learning

Le me know if u want more info...

If you're going to learn web development I suggest you start off with learning basic HTML since html is the main foundation of all other web scripts.

From HTML you can then try to learn JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) since these two will help you in manipulating the HTML codes to make your site look and act like what you have planned.

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language only, meaning the script gets interpreted by the visitor's browser only. Dealing with server-side scripting language is the next logical step since its very probable that you'll deal with online databases. The scripting language I can recommend is PHP. I'm also a novice in PHP but I find it to be very useful and not that difficult if one has HTML background.

With a server-side scripting language, a database management system is also important. I recommend using MySQL since it works hand in hand with PHP. MySQL uses the basic sql statements in querying data in the databases.

Hope this helps! smile.gif

Well, if you're planning to get hosting here, then I don't recommend ASP because ASP runs on a Windows, and trap17 servers run on Linux.

I would recommend PHP because there are so many application, scripts, and tutorials available for it. It's also pretty easy, too. Link: http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp

Learning the basics of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is a good start for you to become familiar with some of the code. Of course, a book on how to design web pages makes for a solid reference.
The next step you may want to try is CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), as this can give your website more consistency from page to page - from background colours to the font styles and more.
After that, try diving into some Javascript and/or PHP if you want to make your pages dynamic.

you should start with HTLM its the basic of all the others ASP/JSP/whatever..., You can start by looking at codes on the internet (other websiteS) or if you don't want to get into programming a good software like frontpage should do the trick. In short HTML is a must any book or HTML learning website should do the trick).
