How did you learn Webdesign?

[tittat]

i refer my college library books to learn webdesign.Also go for online tutorial.

 

[jason.claude]

downloaded templates from oswd.org and other places and then just viewed the source code and mucked around with the values and checked what happened. also use w3schools as well as dreamweavers built in reference guide.

in 1998 my friend forgot his HTML book on my sofa. end of story.

 

[sonicpld]

i learn ( if i can tell that i'm learned something ) from books and from editing other people sites ..

 

[kkenny]

I learned it all from w3schools.com
All my html, xhtml, css, php, sql and any other of the billion languages i know are self taught via resources on the internet and trial and error experiemntation.

I just played around with Dreamweaver for a while the I started to figure out what tags do what.

The best is to just look at other designs
and copy them just to elarn and get better. thats what i did, I tried to copy designs to my best extent, and it helped alot! Ofocurse I delete the designs right after. I never resell a design I had copied.

www.webcreme.com is a great way to start.

I self taught.

I began learning HTML at the age of 7. I use http://www.w3schools.com for learning every language I need to know.

The younger you learn it, the easier you will pick it up.

I learned from w3schools.com and by doing my website on FrontPage.
Now I use w3schools.com just to pick some JavaScript functions (those that I don't remember ).

 

[BorderLineSigs]

i dont really design my own...(dunno how to make it look GOOD) so i muuch of people who could ACTUAL do it (i kno its not nice xP) but i would go looking on forums for tutorials (thats how i learned how to do adobe flash and photoshop...pretty good and photoshop...not at flash). Forums are what make the wrld go round =-DDD.
P.S. AWESOME AVATAR TWINKIE!!! INVADER ZIM ROXXXSSS! =P

i got up 1 day and i just new it:thefinger

 

[DeadBattery]

I learned by playing around with code that other people wrote. It is a very great way to learn HTML.
But I am currently reinforcing that with an HTML book and am currently learning PHP from a book also.

 

[satbir]

It is more of reading and reading here and there.

 

[ThePaintGuru]

I should probably be in the other category even though I put down tutorials. I've always just played with things until I reached a goal, using parts of tutorials as a reference. I could never learn PHP until I found a use for it, and it was similar with HTML and Javascript.

 

[theafterthought]

It was all through various websites, I have used http://www.w3schools.com a lot recently, it's an excellent site to pick up the basics on HTML, CSS, PHP etc, but I think when I started out learning I was mostly using http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ for tutorials and http://www.javascriptkit.com/ for pinching javascripts!

 

[thezone1]

Lol huys i gota tell you, i managed to learn html in a day lol i mean all html lol i could make a perfect html site the next day lol partly through a book mostly through striping templates down. I started web design 7 months ago (about the time i joined x10 ) and now i know PHP, CSS, HTML, Xhtml, and a bit of java.
My sites are

Check them out one of them is open to new Admins, Mods, And power users

HTML is the most easiest thing to learn. I find PHP a little harder, because you have to find what function you want to use, if you don't have them all memorized. xhtml and CSS are both easy to learn too

 

[kaotic1]

A bunch of people i knew were creating sites, so i picked it up simply by searching for different tutorials and scripts to learn from. After a while i picked up how to write html, php, asp, and a little bit in cgi..

I learned most of what I know from trial and error, looking up tutorials or fixes for what I couldn't figure out and read a book on PHP after I had used it for a few months, to see if I could get anything more out of it... But it helped a lot to try it a bunch and figure out how to do it on your own. Makes it more unique in the end.

 

[xc rider]

ive been reading a Head First HTML book the last few days.. After this book ill progress through the different languages. Ive always known the basics but they were never programed into my head.

I'm pretty much self-tought. I never like tutorials though. I tried to learn JavaScript for years before I finally picked up the "Definitive Guide" (700 page) that described it as a programming language more than a scripting engine.

For PHP, I used an online book called Practical PHP Programming. It is very good and I used it for pretty much all my PHP/MySQL needs.

As far as HTML, I started learning a long time ago, back when I used <font> tags (eww). I didn't fully learn XHTML/CSS until I read a huge book on it. I guess I just need to read large descriptive books before I can understand anything >.>

Oh, the CSS book was titled "CSS: The Definitive Guide" if I remember correctly, in case you want to go to Borders or somewhere and try to find it lol.
