How Did You Learn To Make Web Pages?

cragllo
Like most, I just picked it up on the web, following tutorials and what not, Used to use dreamweaver, but takes too long to load when you quickly need to edit something, sop most of the time I use notepad.

I started learning HTML by noticing that most webpages ended in .html

I looked it up on a list of file extensions, then found the W3Schools and started following some of their examples. I also just typed HTML Tutorials into Teoma. I stumbled across JavaScript when trying to find out how to create an alert box. I moved onto ASP with the help of my ICT teacher at school, although we are not taught it in class, I was just curious. Then I started a website (that failed) with a forum made with PHP, I looked into that and I am still learning today.

I generally guess things when coding a site (yes, bad idea), and if I am stuck I 'turn to the manual' which has never let me down, or to forums.

I started learning html through books like dummies, then I went on to learn php which I'm still a noob at php.net and other places like zend...

I learned basic html back in year 10 at school. I was fascinated by it and decided to turn my assignment into an actual website, and get it hosted. Through doing that, I soon expanded my knowledge of html from looking at free website scripts and stuff. I've also learned a lot of css, and a bit of JavaScript and PHP as well, and I'm still continuing to learn. I think it's cool what all these different languages can do.

ya ... I'm also learning everything from the web .. at first it's just a skill to show off to my friends and now it's part of my life ... Just keep myself updated with everything .. html, css, rss, php, .... You can never learn everything out the on the web ... I think internet is still the best place to learn html of php, sometimes i will find some silly tutorial books in bookstore selling expensive .. and the content sucks .. but u could always find good tutorials on internet smile.gif

I really have no clue how it began for me, I guess it all started out when I saw a friend of mine had a hosted site up that showed all of the pictures he took from college. I decided, hey what the heck, looks pretty interesting, I guess I'll try something like that out. So I got started on Angelfire and didn't even use the advanced options tab (for the use of HTML). I just used the basic level and wow was the site layout crappy. Soon I was looking at source codes and learning what different codes did for the layout. Soon I was converting all of my files to advanced and did just HTML language.

That was about 20 months ago, and throughout time I have read some online tutorials and articles relating to website making. I joined trap17 because I had had enough with advertisements, and wow was I introduced to a whole new level of website design. All of these features were unfamilar to me, and I am now just starting to come around to them.

So basically I started out with Angelfire, but in reality I'm really just starting out here at Trap17 because of all the features it has to offer that I never heard of...guess I could say I really stink at this stuff, but I'll get it sooner or later...

For me, it all started with me fooling around with FrontPage when I was 12 or so, and i looked more and more into web design, etc.

A very good resource to begin your web designing endevours is at http://w3schools.com and also http://oswd.org.

OSWD.org is a particulary useful website, and I'm sure you'll find it very useful.

I actualy started learning html few months back, when I realised I wanted to make my own web site. First, I used some free hosting, they let you only have 7 pages, and they had some kind of online editor for html files. They didn't have ftp, or anything...

Then, my friend told me I can learn to make my own pages, the way I want them to apper, without those poor online templates. So, I started off easily, with Nvu, a cool little program for making web pages. Since I still don't know html all that well, this is great what you see is what you get (i think that's what it's called smile.gif) editor.

When I learn html better, I will try to make a webpage in Dreamweaver, because my friend tells me Dreamweaver is the best for making web pages.

I still haven't started learning php, and I don't think I will any time soon tongue.gif

I think I got webhosting before I realized I even wanted to make a website. I had a few pictures to share and I got hosting for that. Then I used frontpage for a little "about me" page- very primitive. laugh.gif

Once I wanted to add more I started messing around with Microsoft Publisher's page maker, but once I checked out sites like webmonkey.com I realized that program added a lot of extra code into the pages. I pretty much figured out how to do HTML on my own by looking at the source code on different webpages.

*turns around behind him gets in the bookshelf and pulls out about 10 books on varying HTML topics from HTML to XHTML and flash books*

I started about 6 years ago on web design from reading things on the web and stuff viewing other peoples pages and picking apart the HTML and putting it together my own way to see what did what.

then i found all these books and some with cd's as well and I went to town. My friend uses XARA and Dreamweaver but I was doing stuff with notepad and later a program called CONText (programmers editor) before I found out about WYSIWYG editors and dreamweaver stuff like that.

I have had people hiring for web design positions tell me that I know more then alot of kids coming out of college because I am self taught and people who teach themselves have a tendancy to retain and implement the information and knowledge better and have more hands on experience.

So I urge anyone reading this that hasn't already get out there get some books they aren't that much and you can find them simple enough google what you want to know or any search engine of your choice pull code apart and put it back together your own way. you will learn more and as i said retain the information alot better

to learn is to practice and to practice you have to do it.
