Please give me your opinion on this. The tuition is 4 classes a week, of 3 hours duration each. And this is for 6 weeks.
Is this enough?
| | A. | It's both more than enough, and also NOT enough, all a the same time.
Here's the problem... a truly successful, QUALITY website takes a large number of diverse skills that are rarely bundled up in one person. For example...
1) Design and layout and usability studies... the creative/artsy stuff.
2) Web programming, database design, writing program specifications... the software engineering stuff.
3) Writing for the web... tailoring content to be search-engine-friendly, developing strategies to successfully "market" a website, managing a flow of incoming data from contributors (to keep the site "live" and updated).... the advertising and writing end.
4) Managing database backups, managing and maintaining relations with the registered users... the "boss", administrative, manager and IT department stuff.
A great way to measure what direction you want to go, and the skills that apply to the field that interests you... have a look at the "job roles" over on Brainbench... they recommend a specific set of certification tests based on the job role you're after. Some of the tests are free, most aren't... but you can look at the outlines of each test for free, and it will give you an idea of what topics you'll want to cover. | | | |
| Q. | Need web development help?? Open source Software? | Related Search:
Programming & Design | | | I'm really puzzled about this thing here....
We have a website (called The Gospel Of The Kingdom). It was originally developed with Adobe Dreamweaver. I downloaded a free trial of Dreamweaver, after a friend of ours developed the site. I then did lots of modification and updates, etc, etc.
Now, the site is not the most search engine friendly website there is, it seems. Furthermore, its all HTML, and there are some problems with both the HTML and the CSS Style Sheet. I am going to take a college course on web development but until then... I need some tips and pointers.
I read so much good about Joomla, and I've even installed it on our server in a sub directory. But, It was just about impossible for me to find a template I liked, that was free... and even harder to make one myself. We would like it to look like our current website, but to be formatted more for letters and books (the current HTML site is very narrow as far as that goes).
There are a lot of apps... Nvu got me into A LOT of trouble with HTML coding and I would never use that again. I heard about Eclipse and Aptana... I'd like to get that maybe, if it would work.
So, basically... I need some help as to what app to use. We do not have the money for Dreamweaver and I've read a lot of bad about HTML coding, etc, etc. Joomla would work out great if I could just make the template look like our current website. I'd give a link but Yahoo Answers does not allow that. :)
I forgot... I mainly use my laptop which is running Gentoo Linux. But I also have access to a Mac OS X computer... and the use of Wine, on Linux :)
Thanks... but, I'm not saying HTML is complicated. I'm learning it. Personally, I find the CSS to be more complicated than HTML, only because I know almost nothing about CSS. I'm learning though.
Hey everyone...
Thanks for all the answers :).
For the record, I am not stupid and am perfectly capable of learning such things. Thats the way it went with Linux... I started off small and now I stepped into the water... I'm running Gentoo. I really like it.
As far as HTML, I am learning it....
Actually, I want to go to college to become a web developer... Thank you for all the tips.
I'd have to do a lot of reading then, I understand that. Thank you all for the links. I will check that out more...
I agree too, if you want something nice, you either spend the money, or spend time, or spend both.
Be Blessed.

| | A. | Joomla is definitely tricky...
I don't want to sound like a jerk, but it looks to me as though you're in over your head. As a professional, I'd advise finding a pro to get you going. Once Joomla is set up, you can keep it rolling with relative ease.
Hiring someone can be tricky, but seeing as you are a non-profit...there are resources out there. I do freelance work myself a quite a bit, I've seen non-profits get away with quality sites for dirt cheap (I've done a couple myself...for as little as 300 bucks for a complete overhaul).
Here's a list of sites that sell designs: [Link]  /
Some of those offer bidding, some let you specify a price for a project. This one is my fav: [Link] /
You can say "I'm willing to pay 100 bucks for a joomla template". You may get tons of designs, you may get none. But it is like priceline for web designs.
If you absolutely cannot hire someone, start studying...hard.
Me, I have a degree in design, and I can tell you that it is not something you can just pick up in a weekend. It is complex, it is challenging, and it is not easy. But it sure as heck is fun. | | | |
| Q. | Help! Two Quick Web Development Question? | Related Search:
Programming & Design | | | Which of the following is true with regard to CSS?
a) A website can be restyled much quicker using embedded rather than external style sheets
b) The size of the web pages is reduced when using style sheets
c) Before CSS, web documents could not be styled
d) Using external style sheets allows more styling to be applied to a web page
Which of the following is a use of client side web scripting?
(pick 2 two)
a) Browser Detection
b) Search facility
c) Dynamic Effects
d) Cookies
| | A. | 1) D
1) C is partially correct as tables were used and the "styling" was dependent on tag attributes.
2) C & D
2) A would be correct in some cases as there are browser detection JavaScripts and JS is client-side. That's why I picked "C", too, as DHTML uses lots of JavaScript for effects.

What do I need to already know before taking the C+ classes?
| | A. | thats a loooong list. i think u dont need to know all of that...it wont hurt if u do. but it would take a loooong time and would be hard to keep upto date with all. of them.
Also its good if you pick an alegence between Miscrosoft and Open source. if its microsoft you'll be doing ASP, sql server C#, WPF or open source it would be php, oracle, java.
you need to learn basic web designing so u need html, css
dont bother about vb script and c ++. they are kinda outdated. pick one programming language and master it. i recommend c# | | | |
| Q. | Need help with web design HTML CSS? | Related Search:
Programming & Design | | | I fairly new to web design but have been going to college to gain a degree in web development. I feel I know html and CSS fairly well but cannot seem to connect the dots as far as looking the same across all browsers. I have beat my head against the wall for a long time trying to figure this out so I figured I would ask for some help as it seems that I am missing something. I use dreamweaver to create the coding and when I preview the web files a browser (chrome, firefox, safari) they look fine but internet explore seems to be off a little bit. I upload the files on a server so that someone could access them and help me if someone would be willing to give me some insight as to what I am doing wrong. I have tried using the "IF" statements to read a different style sheet if the browser is IE but seems I cannot get that to work either. Thanks so much for your help in advance. I put the files on a free lime domains server which you can access here to see what I am talking about...
[Link]
Mainly what I am talking about is the buttons for the differenet pages is coming out wrong, in IE there is a space below them that I want out and on the videos page the comment boxes are all over the place.
| | A. | It's because you used Dreamweaver to write the code for you, it was never designed to write all the code for you, it was designed to aid you in coding with visual aids as well. You should program the pages using the code view as it will allow you to learn more about CSS and how styles can be adapted to work a cross-browsers. As for saying that only a small percentage still use IE6, it's actually still in the top 10 internet browsers used world wide due to it's distribution with Windows XP. You will need to learn to program you website to overcome display problems in IE as this will allow your site to be open to a wider audience. CSS problems often include extra spaces and the align tags not working correctly which can easily be solved using margin:0px auto;. To solve the extra spaces you can use certain CSS tags like line-break-before and line-break-after to remove incorrect line breaks on forms and div content. The best way to ensure that your website will work on a big range of browsers is to test it on them, all sites i develop get tested on a wide range of browsers new and old. One of my main sites works on IE 5.5 right through to IE8, Firefox and even mobile browsers, always displaying exactly the same. If you need to add documentation to your website your error can be put in the what to do next time titles and this will give you extra marks. Good luck with your site I hope I've helped | | | |
