The problem with Frontpage is that it inserts all sorts of filler text into your file, just unnecessary little things. Plus, Dreamweaver is a little more recent and I think it works more fluidly. But it's really a matter of preference on your part.

PHP and Perl both allow you to process web page forms. Many people here seem to like PHP. I like Perl, which is also a server-side scripting language. Perl has been around a long time and many good scripts use it.

Trap17 supports Perl too. You can put your Perl scripts in your cgi-bin directory and call them by putting something in your browser like:

http://yoursite.trap17.com/cgi-bin/yourperlscript.cgi

Happy programming!

Start with HTML, that's essential. Then as you work with HTML, you'll probably find out about some CSS and JavaScript. Then when you get good and want to make a more advanced site, you might consider some PHP. That's what I've done, and I'm at the PHP right now.

I would just take a quick class, photoshop intro to web design. One of those weekend things. I find it's the best way to get started. I mean their not expensive and they're not long at all. The most they will do is explain all the things you'll need to become a designer in general, not just web designer.round

Start with the latest dreamweaver, go to htmlgoodies.com for some nice tutorials it got me started, see if your school offers any computer classes like that. maybe some chatrooms would help, i like to use yahoos chat function.

Hey why dont you try a Server side language like ASP or PHP . It can make your page much more advance, interactive and fun. You can also do alot of cool stuff with these languages. So heres some tips to keep in mind before taking up a language.

ASP:[/B ] () Easy to learn and short coding to type
() Windows viewers don't have to install Asp to view site cause ASP is ....................automatically installed in windos.
() Best for Bigginers and has to have a ASP enabled server

[B]PHP: () A bit hard to use and learn
() More advance coding
() Free ware
() Has to have special servers.
() All viewers has to have PHP installed to view page Correctly
Hope this Helps Bye!!!!

Hi i should start learning more of wisdom first, rather than prefering other things. After wisdom comes characters and discipline. After this comes rest. I also like to learn more of webdesigning languages like PHp, My SQL, MAcromedia falsh player, dreamweaver, front page, Adobe photoshop and much more and more. MAn i am very much interested in learning PHP and mysql more than others, since it is the most famous language and many prefer it to design there site and it provides good security...

I would suggest

>>> FIRST ! GET VERY VERY VERY GOOOD WITH HTML AND CSS ... cos they form the BASIC for all scripting in thiis internet world . You know GOOD HTMl , n u can start off with others
>>> If you want to become a DESIGNER , learn PHOTOSHOP and DREAMWEAVER
>>> If you want to become a CODER , learn PHP , Jscript and actionscript in flash .

if you know FLASH completely ... i swear u can start rocking like hell

Oh yes .. forgot .. was reading the last few posts ... and had to create a new post .. to let all you people knwo ...

People who thought PHP was only for LINUX and needs to have server access to test / learn .. (* like the person above me *) ... there is a special soft , that is VERY simple and lets you have a virtual PHP + SQL server ( with phpmyadmin ) on your WINDOWS based systems ..

It is called EASYPHP ( google it out to download )
WEBSITE : http://www.easyphp.org/

just download that and get GOING !

I think the best programe is MS frontpage. even it may lack some special effects, but it is very powerful for designing even professional web sites. I use this program and i belive it. I also worked with some other programs such as coffie cup, draemviewer and so on..., but the best is MS front page in my openion.
