The art of Coding

[Foyerhead]

I am kind of a noob when it comes to web designing. The photoshop part? I got down. But when it comes to putting the design into website material, I'm sunk. I Googled "How to code for website development" a few times, and I always get fustrated upon choosing a style. (Javascript, php, etc.) I need some recommendations guys, and probably link me to a good coding tutorial site. Thanks!

It's not clear what you mean by coding.

But whether you mean HTML or a web-oriented programming language like PHP, you're better off buying a book, because you are learning programming, which is a broad and deep art.

You might start by learning PHP (if that's what you mean by coding). O'Reilly's Head First PHP & MySQL is a pretty good for beginners.

Well my recomendation is that first start to code without any graphic tool like cs5 you can start with geany or simple notepad.

Then about it go for steps html and css after that js after html5 + css + js l, then php + html + css + js.

I agree with martip07.

I'd start off with HTML (don't try HTML5 yet) and CSS, then move to scripting languages like PHP or JS, depending on what you want to do.

If that is your problem, then why not go with Dreamweaver if you just want a fast website development. There are too many tutorials out there, you just need to use Google. Go here if you really want to learn about html step by step.

Alternatively, you can also read from here and to start you can read this.

Hope it helped you.

I'm actually looking into css sprites right now. It seems nice.

css is hard to do, usually i just do it in dreamwever and then get the inline css code and clean it up and put it in my .css file.

I disagree, css is pretty easy and powerful. It's a pretty elegant solution.

There are 2 types of coders... The Coders, and the not-so-good-at-coding Graphical people. I am a coder, You appear to be a graphics person.

Having said that, VERY FEW people are both

I agree with martip07!
Begin by using only text tools! So you will really learn the coding!
