Webmaster course

[mor_than_this]

Our teacher recommended to us two websites that HV already recommended to me:
www.w3schools.com and www.csszengarden.com
You see, HV, you're already almost pro. All you need is a diploma, lol.
He asked us to come up with ideas for the next lesson for new websites, or things you can build/design in them, for practice of course. Does anyone have any

Well, if I am to be a website designer, that means that my clients will bring me requests for their website, depending on the purpose of the website. Like "I want my website to be able to have this and this and that". Take Lestat's website for example, it needs to have links to Ljs, pages of stories, a forum, a tagboard or chatroom etc. Other websites have other requirements. You surf the internet much more than I do. What kind of pages do you run into often enough that it's a -must- for me to learn to build?

So far it's been the 4 trial lessons. Tomorrow I'll have a personal meeting which will determine if I can continue (I don't see any reason why not!) and then we'll go into the depth of it. In these lessons they gave us a small taste, an introduction of Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver, and later on we'll go into them more thoroughly. So far, I was only taught how to draw a picture with Flash, but my brother told me it is used mostly for animation. What is Flash used for in those websites you see them in? Can you show me some examples?

Dreamweaver is like a work desk for everything a designer needs. What I've been showed so far, is that you can plan your page like a picture, and the program writes the html and css for you. Cool, isn't it? Then it is supposed to contain everything else too. Flash, php, and other stuff we haven't gotten around to yet.

That's a cool website! I'm starting to look differently at websites now. Before I only looked for the information on it, and now I take notice of many more details I've seen, but paid no mind to before.

My husband tried raising his own company a few months ago, but it didn't work out with his partners. I think to take the website they were planning to have as an exercise, like what a real company will require of me to do.
Then there's Lestat's unfinished website, that I can take as an exercise too, and I thought maybe something for children, with cartoons and games and such.
