Learning Web Design/Coding

I've already know some VERY basic html and javascript, but I want to learn something to do a good website. Here's what I had thought of:

  • PHP
  • CSS
  • XHTML??? (don't know anything about this one)
  • Others???
Anyone could give me a little overview of them, for what kind of websites they are used for, etc...

 

Thanks in advice.

 

BTW: Learning wouldn't be a problem, I'm already familiar with programming languages, scripting and all that kind of stuff...

Wait with PHP, it's far too complicated to start with.

 

I would suggest that you learn XHTML and CSS.

 

Well, mainly CSS, but indeed also XHTML, as CSS and XHTML goes hand in hand... in a way.

 

I am not sure where there are tutorials, but you could look in the mega topic to see some links, etc.

W3Schools

W3C

PHP

 

1. Head over to W3Schools and complete their HTML (you may think you know it), XHTML and CSS tutorials.

 

2. Go to W3C and read all the information you can about HTML, XHTML and CSS.

 

3. While still at W3C, read anything you can find about Accessibility and the Semantic Web.

 

4. Return to W3Schools and complete the PHP tutorial.

 

5. Head over to the PHP official website and navigate to the online documentation. Study, and repeat if needed.

 

6. Buy a good book on advanced PHP and a beginners book on MySQL (~$40au each).

 

7. This is optional, but go to W3Schools followed by W3C and learn everything you can about XML.

 

You should now know XHTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL and XML. These are the modern day fundamentals for a web developer.

wow, thanks for all the info!!!

 

Well, I already know where to start, the next thing I have to figure out is... a good idea for a website, but I'll have plenity of time for that.

 

PS: The topic doesn't have to die here, if anyone wants to add something, feel free to share.

 

EDIT: I forgot to ask if I should some program (like DreamWeaver, etc...), if so, which one.

 

Thanks once again.

Notepad can be used for writing the code behind websites (and graphics if you want to get technical).

 

I use Dreamweaver MX 2004 in code view for most of my coding though. It's the best for me, since it's tightly integrated with Fireworks, Flash, and Freehand.
