Where do i start if i want to learn about web development and programming?

There are two ways of making websites:

- The lazy way,

- The professional way.

You can try Dreamweaver: it will allow you to build a (semi-)static site, but you will never learn how to code.

You can try Frontpage or any other "website builder", which are

WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), but, again, you will

NEVER learn to code properly.

If you want to get into web development:

- Buy a Domain, (10$/year)

- Rent a LAMP server (50$/year, NO ads!). LAMP: "Linux/unix, Apache, Mysql, Php). Important: any other window based server will cost you at least twice that and will require you to learn a lot about Microsoft.

- Download an FTP program (ie FTP Explorer)

- Download Notepad++ (free)

(http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm)

- Visit www.w3schools.com and start learning HTML, do the examples, experiment.

- Then learn javascript.

- Then try your luck with Php and Mysql.

Within two-three months, you will have your site AND you will have gotten the grip on programming for the web.

ANY other way is the lazy way that leads to "amateur" website

ratings (and makes you one of the millions of "web designers" that can't finish anything)

You can find some simple HTML, javascript, Php, mysql and even

AJAX at http://www.web2coders.com./

Download all the scripts (all free), and see how they are coded. Upload them to your server and start "changing things around". Some of them are simple and only use HTML and Javascript, others are more complex.

That's the best way to learn: by examples.

Later on, when you will be fluent in all these languages, you will ask yourself the question: "Since I know Php and Mysql, why the *** should I use Joomla, Miva, Ruby-on-Rails, Dreamweaver, Frontpage (or any other for that matter)????"

Good luck.

I am learning web Development now and the best thing to do is to buy or download a book and read it from start to finish. I just finished Head First Html and CSS and you would be amazed how better coder you are from the rest who learn by small lackadaisical tutorials and you'll also save your time in the long run, then read a CSS book( a good one like Css mastery so that you can become expert on the language) then go for php and javascript for php there are a lot of books but i found PHP Solutions best for beginners. The point is read books then you can read tutorials - don't start by disorganized tutorials. Good luck and grab a book and start reading now.

I suggest going to the library and picking up a book on Web Design and/or HTML. There are some very good books around. I find web tutorials are best for re-learning content.

Depends on what you want to do.

I suggest that you start with some graphic tools. Most of them are expensive thus you might go with GIMP.

Then try to write a simple HTML page. It is cool and easy. Then learn what you did wrong about it by reading W3C.org resources: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ (this one it about XHTML).

Then read about CSS. At this moment you should be aware that Internet Explorer sux.

At this stage you should be able to create some nice web pages to earn money.

Then use validator.w3.org to check your pages. And cry. And improve your skills.

At this point you would need to decide what next. You can choose flash (I personally hate it) or some server-site scripting. Or all at once :) You could probably go onto PHP (I recommend that) or python (I recommend that even more) or JAVA applets or JSP or ASP.

At this point you would probably need to read about design patterns to improve your code.

Last point is... to go by your own path :)

Learn HTML and do a basic level course in web programming at some reputed institute.

great advice here, but if you want to setup an online shopping cart quick and easy while you learn, I highly recommend bigcommerce.com. its the easiest shopping cart I have worked with and you dont need to know much programming at all to setup or run.

you can search webdesign tutorial from yahoo or google and read through the tutorial and then then you can easily make website

and if you can get any problem on that time conatct to an online expert for getting advice step by step

You can start learning from HTML, after you completely understand HTML, able to start other programming lanuguages like PHP or ASP. PHP Hosting is cheaper than ASP and there are a lot of documents about learning and using PHP. :)

online, w3school
