How to start with PS & Web Design

[shridipamswap 1]

Hi to all,

Well I'm keen to learn Photoshop as well as Web Design & Development. It's won't be a career oriented but just add on knowledge & want to know it in detail which I preferred.

Let's start with PS

Being a complete noob, I tried finding tutorials say lynda or VTC both designed Videos covering different aspects for PS(for eg. some for layers, some for photographers) even for CS4 Tutorial I had to get back to CS3 for understanding the basics. It made me confuse as to start from which point?

Some Googling for Basic Level I found(Most of them are creative felt like for advance users ) -

Now coming to Web Design & Development

it seems to be Vast Field & Plenty of options to learn. A little confusion- Does design meant for Graphics thing.....again Adobe Photoshop for web & development- means using prog. language to structure web?

 

To learn from very start till end I referred W3Schools to get idea of languages except HTML. But then when I tried finding Tuts some are with Photoshop, HTML, Javascript which don't cover Ajax & other things.......some covers dreamware, Flash, PHP, so I'm not able to combine these different tutorials & stuck with the same question where to begin?

 

 

A request to CW Experts if they can be kind enough in helping me out. Pls guide on which Tutorials to download or even if it is designed by you that will be well and good. We can have a step by step learning & problem solving session over here, each & every effort will be monitored thoroughly so committing mistakes & proper guidance on it I will learn much much better.

 

thnx in advance

Basics of web design is HTML & CSS

 

CSS is important as it is the styling sheet and actual design of the page

 

HTML is used for content

 

JAVA adds 'design features' such as the 'time', 'animations', pop up boxes ect

 

those three would be the best start, you can run HTML, JAVA and CSS from your browser to view the out look

 

you can create a fully functional website using HTML, JAVA and CSS.

 

If you want to move on to more advanced stuff, 'log in pages' 'restricted pages' 'run a shop' ect then think about PHP

 

PHP is server side programming. You need to upload the php files to a server to view your work.

 

Mabye for your first attempt, download a pre made template and edit it, it will help you understand whats doing what and you will learn as you go along.
