Hi! I want to start developing my own website but I don’t want to spend any time learning HTML codes or whatever, I just want to get into the good stuff, is there any platform on any operating system that allows me to do that? Or must I go through all the boring stuff?

Dreamweaver is the standard if you want to avoid have bloated pages since its background coding is excellent

"I want to build a house but i dont want to learn how to lay bricks...."

Learning HTML would be a huge advantage if you want build your own website, as thats what MAKES the website.

There are plenty of programs out their such as Dreamweaver (as MrTWS  mentioned) and MS Frontpage, both of which will cost money. There are also free programs such as Nvu.

But you will always be limited to what the software can do, with a text editor (such as notepad) you are only limited by your own creativity and ability.

Most WYSIWYG editors will only be for Windows, but some will be cross combatible with Linux and OSX.

HTML is basic and you want to learn something more powerful like a server-side language,, I presume?Well, if you want to start learning server side technologies you would first need to learn client side programming. For example, if you want to learn ASP you first need to learn a scripting language like JavaScript or VBScript, --> and BEFORE you start learning those two you still need to have a basic understanding of HTML.

HTML is where most people start...

Hi Edward,
 
I think you are looking at this in the wrong way, no matter what language you choose to learn (a nd I suggest .NET using a free tool visual web developer) you will always be writting HTML if you like it or not.
 
All languages output HTML as that is what the browser reads, an example is to look a the source of this page, notice you only see HTML, yet the real source code is hidden because it has been coverted into HTML, so to make a website using a language you first need to learn how it works, hence learning HTML (it is very easy)
 
Also when making a website in .NET or any other language you need to make your website look nice, and formatted.  Partically in .NET you need to sometimes do this at runtime so you need to know the HTML syntax for (bold, italic, css class, etc, etc)
 
Just get yourself a cheap HTML book and go on w3schools website and build yourself a very basic website in HTML, once you are happy with the syntax you can then start adding powerful .NET code around it.
