HTML

[kjonnnnn]

Is HTML worth learning?
What about DHTML?
Or is there some other language worth learning for the web.

HTML and XHTML are worth learning if you want to actually work on the web - WYSIWYG editors (FP and NOF and others) don't let you tweek the code enough.

Most clients/employers don't want someone who doesn't know how to fix it if it gets broken. There are plenty of great on line tutorials you could use to learn and it is really not that hard.

I teach it for a living and I find my students working well with it within two weeks. [sig][/sig]

Thanks. I am the webmaster for two Frontpage websites (something I did on the side). I was kinda interested in getting more into the web stuff. Just tryn to figure out what would be good for me to learn as far as language and design. Im already tickering with Flash 4.0. [sig][/sig]

I recommend learning HTML. HIGHLY recommend learning it. WYSIWYG editors are only so good for so long, and if there's a problem in the code, you can't simply reach in and figure out what the problem is.

has a very good HTML help section with examples.

I recommend, if possible, learning a little Javascript and DHTML.

The best way to learn is to *do* it, and also learn by example. Shop around, use &quot;view page source&quot; whenever possible, and above all else, have fun!

I started off using Frontpage and I learned HTML through the HTML script in FrontPage. It is much easier to learn HTML while you are building a site using a WYSIWYG editor. Another way to get a quick tutorial on HTML is purchase a VISUAL HTML book. Thats the way I got started. I got the basics down and then learned looking at my source and other code.

You will also need to learn how to cut and paste JavaScript. There is a lot of free javascript out there and you can do a lot with a webpage without knowing much javascript. I learned javascript by trial and error tweaking what I copied off of websites.

The web is going to XML so if you really want to get into web development you may want to read a bit on XML so it looks like you are on the cutting edge. Take a look at my website

http://www.supplychaintoday.com

It has quite a bit of stuff on it and I taught myself web development on my own. It took me about a month to put it together.

Let me know if you have any questions

I suggest everyone who wants to be a serious internet user should learn HTML. At one point or another everyone will want to design their own website. While there are tools out there that will do the work for you, you cannot always get the editors to make your site look just right. All tweaking is usually done by hand, and knowing a lot about HTML helps you greatly. Also and I've found this out, in your job situation anytime a company big or small wants to build a website they always try doing it themselves, it could help you if you could show your boss you know HTML. Just something to add to your resume. [sig]<p>John D. Saucier<br><a href=mailto:jsauce@netadvances.com>jsauce@netadvances.com</a><br>jsauce@diablo2.com<br>
