What is the best computer course for somebody who wants to learn how to create a website properly?

Hi.

I am thinking of taking an online computer course to help me to be able to build and maintain a website, so what type of computer program should I look at? I want a beginning course...........Is that Computer Programming?



Also, what type of course should one take if interested in learning about Computer chips, such as the one used for GPS systems?

Thanks!What is the best computer course for somebody who wants to learn how to create a website properly?
Easy as 123...



1. w3schools.com

2. Adobe Dreamweaver

3. A lot of patience and time :)What is the best computer course for somebody who wants to learn how to create a website properly?
I would highly recommend using a combination of a textbook and a good reference site (such as w3schools.com) for teaching yourself web programming. Focus first on HTML and then try to work your way into using PHP and/or PERL. You may want to do some tutorials on the BASIC language before moving onto PHP/PERL though to familiarize yourself with the use of variables, logic conditionals, loops, etc.



Computer chips would be far harder to learn. You'd need to learn to learn about circuits, digital logic, different number systems (such as binary and hexidecimal)... it's really quite a mess and a very difficult topic. I'd recommend you move onto that only after you're familiar with other programming languages/techniques.



Best of luck to you! :)What is the best computer course for somebody who wants to learn how to create a website properly?
Well to learn the code itself, the best free online class not really a class though is w3school.com, You want to learn HTML and CSS first (HTML first, then CSS) there are also little quizzes on it , that you can take. You can also use it as a reference, and they have forums if you need debugin help.



Then you wanna get a text editor (notepad++ for windows, espresso or coda for Mac). It's better if you use a raw code editor, but you can also use a WYSIWYG editor. (what you see is what you get) basically a visual way to make websites. Like dreamweaver and muse.



Then you can move on to stuff like JavaScript , php, maybe some mysql.



But if you know HTML, and you just want to know how to efficiently and properly make websites visit webdesign.tutsplus.com (for web designing tips) and net.tutsplus.com (for user interactivity and coding tips and tutorials)



Also take a trip down to the bookstore and browse over some books, you don't have to buy them most bookstores have chairs for you to sit down and read their books.



And just have patience. It takes a little while to learn this, but with patience and determination you can do it!



By the way it's not called computer programming, that stuff is like java, and c+ much more difficult. What your talking about is called web developing. So consider yourself a web developer.



Happy codings.
Learn:



HTML

Javascript

PHP

XML

AJAX



and you are ready to rumble
