I'm a senior computer science major and would like to get into web
design. I have basic familiarity with programming languages such as
Java, C++, COBOL, etc., and am pretty adept at HTML and CSS. I wanted to find out what I should focus on learning if I intend to persue a carreer in web design in the next year or two. What programs, languages, and concepts make up the primary areas of focus these days in web design? What are the most important aspects to understand? My understanding is that these are very important: Flash Dreamweaver/Frontpage ColdFusion or .NET (database connectivity) http://www.ronniesaini.com - Graphic Design Techniques HTML, XML, PHP I wondered how those of you that are actually working in the field would change my list? Is there a particular order of concepts that would help me learn it best (a curriculum, if you will)? I'd appreciate all the help I can get in understanding what direction to go in. There's so much to learn, and I really don't know where to start. |

I guess Flash does not hurt. Dreamweaver/Frontpage well that depends on the language you would want to write in. As this here is mainly a MS development community you might hear mostly .Net as opposed to CF or other sever side development and I too would say start learning .Net as it is very solid and easy to learn. You should have an easy time learning c# if you have a good understanding of c++. Graphic Design/ well are you a programmer or a designer? Have not met many people that do both very well together. XML is important these days thus I think, because of Ajax more so is JavasScript.  ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |
