Coding? Flash?

Sat Nov 10, 2007, 5:33 PM
I can design in Photoshop, but I can't really put my web designs together properly. I know a lot of designers leave the coding and what not to actual coders, but I'm looking for any beginner tips, advice and stuff like that. I'm currently learning the ins and outs of HTML and CSS. Where'd I go after that? PHP? etc..

Also looking where to start for Flash too!

Just need to learn some new stuff in hopes of getting a job ;)

Anything at all will greatly help me :)


p.s Someone E-mailed me about designing a CS clan website for them. If you're reading this then please re-email me.

Ask a friend. He can teach you! This is better than reading books about coding or something like that.

Read designing with webstandards - learn about xhtml and css. (The modern way of making websites).

And learning php or actionscript would be a good way to go. But first learn how to use xhtml and css first.

PM me if you want to talk more about it. I know it all mate ;)

Word of advice, while I agree you should learn the "modern" way to do web design, please be sure to also learn the "old" way to do it, trust me it is still as valid as it was years ago and some major companies haven't moved away from it fast enough to keep up. You'll be tankful you did if you ever have to take over an older site.

As for what's next, try your best to learn both PHP & ASP. I say this because it's rare that someone knows both and also it's a matter of increasing your value as a coder / designer to an employer.

Upside: PHP is robust and you can make it do damn near anything.

Downside: ASP will make you hate javascript or if you're a sadist you can code it in VBscript.

If you have to pick a poison, choose PHP, it's by far the server side code that the majority of the internet uses and the corporate chumps stick with ASP for the most part.

After that pull it all together with SQL skills so you can take advantage of web applications - that's where a good chunk of change can be made.
