Hi guys,

As a Starter to web designing, I've been learning designing from web designing people who were in the web designing industry.

Its because I have a belief in a quote " Those who can't do. Teach"

My tutors were teaching me Photoshop, flash, dreamweaver. But, Browsing more and more in internet leads me to see fireworks is involved a big deal in web designing. Even my trainer has no knowledge about fireworks. Most of the web designing institutions and certified courses in here don't offer fireworks training.

While browsing through internet I found it is used very much in roll overs and image optimization. But, Its feeling very bad for not learning a hot software in web design industry.

There are lots of vector arts and vector graphics happens to be present in websites nowadays. After watching some vector tutorials of photoshop over net, The real thought is photoshop is very complicated for vector arts, eventhough it has vector tools itself.

This leads to more thoughts like, do people have to learn all bitmap and vector softwares to master web designing industry. If it is not needed, suggest some vector software that can cover overall vector needs for a web designer.

So, to be a designer, web designer, One must concentrate in which softwares, suggest some softwares that is used widely and very natural and used for web designing and designing all over the industry.

You don't need to learn all to be able to create great sites. With that being said you still need to know how to work with bitmap images as well as vector if you intend to use vector. Graphics/Art can be made with different steps so by limiting your self to one software may or may not be good. I don't use fireworks at all because I can do all I need in photoshop. My only advice is learn how to do things as you need because you don't need to remember them all unless you use them daily but if that is the case then you would remember anyway right. I learned a lot of texture and image effects in photoshop but in the past and they were great but I have forgotten them all because I don't use them.

Stick to what works and don't worry about mastering everything.

A Small Html Problem - How to display foreign characters correctly when designing a site. (4)
I was wondering how I could solve a small problem. I was told that some people see accented and
umlauted letters (such as " é " and " ë ") as question marks (" ? ") on my website. I come across
the same thing sometimes when looking at websites which use non-English characters. Funnily enough,
the other day, I looked at a site and the apostrophy ( ' ) was also shown as a question mark.
That is a very common character usually, I would think. I thought it had something to do with the
character encoding settings, and let me also mention I use Mozilla Firefox as my brows...
