I’m starting to style web sites. I have flash dreamweaver and fireworks.. all 8 Do I should find out css and coffee script or may i start with what I got please help
Depends how far you would like to get into this Are you currently just making an affiliate site for yourself or is this suppose becoming a " career"
If it’s a career, you won’t proceed far with what you’ve got now. YOU MUST be able to hand-code site… this meaning you will need to know HTML as well as CSS from top to back.
Once you have a firm knowledge on HTML and also CSS, then make sure you learn Javascript, after which a server area language, such as PHP, ASP. NET SALE, or RoR.
Where graphics/images go, Fireworks is supposed to be pretty very good (have never applied it myself), but you should find countless current tutorials since you can, and learn existing techniques and styles for designing web sites.
I moved this thread into your Starting Out online community, which is a bit more fitting for this particular question.
Thanks with the help… How long does it take you to definitely start building decent internet sites
Depends upon " decent". Once i started off around DW and FW (much including you), I could receive sites that appeared horrible (complete together with table layout and the rest of the bad stuff) in 2-3 weeks.
Then I used up another 10 a short time or so catching through to HTML and CSS, then last week learning how to be able to position stuff around CSS using floats. That is all I required, until I realized PHP and JS a bit later.
What exactly float…
A float can be an element (HTML stuff enclosed by the tag, for model, < div> 12345something< /div> can be a " div" element) that is definitely pushed as significantly left or right as they can (until something prevents it). It’s probably the most complex part with common CSS, so it might take though. Look around at various tutorials with creating layouts within CSS.
The basic notion of a float can be an element that some other content wraps all around. For example, images on the web publications are floated’, and also text flows all around them. That’s the particular basic idea. However, many of the limitations regarding CSS layout abilities are managed by using drift trickery, and all of that stuff is definitely substantially more difficult.
Well, once i first started along with Photoshop and Dreamweaver, I really could make nice-looking web sites with tragic, cataclysmically unpredictable code.
