I have been combing through the forums to find answers to a few questions. I found some helpful information but thought I would just ask!

I have my undergraduate BS in Fine Art, and have been staying at home with my kids for a few years. I would like to begin learning web design and development software so I can begin a career creating and designing websites. I have been searching high and low on the internet for programs and am totally at a loss for where to actually start...

-Are Certificate programs a good start? or a waste of time/money?
-Is there an online certificate program you would recommend? I have found some but have no way of knowing how good they are...
-Tutorials online are everywhere, is this a better way to go?
-Which sites/tutorials would you recommend?
-knowing what you know now about what you do, if you were going to hypothetically start from scratch where would you start?

Thank you in advance for your input!]]> 04/14/10, 104 34 2010 2010:%i:1271273687 15:34:47 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/tutorials_or_certificate_programs/#p3361 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/tutorials_or_certificate_programs/#p3364 You will need to know HTML & CSS for starters. After that you should learn a server side language such as PHP/MYsql.
As for learning, it is probably better to go to a bookstore and pick up a few books to learn from. As a beginner, the Dummy series of books are quite good (HTML for Dummies etc.)

Don't rush out and buy a lot of software. You really don't need much. A good text editor is all you really need, but if you want a good HTML editor, I would suggest the CoffeeCup HTML editor.
Once you figure out what it all means, then you can check out some of the online tutorials as then you will know a bit more of what you are looking for.

And as always, come back here with any questions...

This may sound "preachy" but there's nothing like being in the mix everyday to experience the challenges and victories of overcoming browser conflicts, tight timelines, usability enhancements, etc. With a certification it is understood that you have core understanding and probably have been given a toolbox consisting of current/best practices, software, online tools, etc. Being equipped with these will not only keep you productive by knowing where to find the right tool for the job, but motivate your creative passion when you are asked to design/develop something that you never have before.

That will be good for you or should search about a good coaching which can provide you what you want.
