Resources for Building Websites
When you're ready to start building your own websites there are many great resources to
help you along the way. HTML is surprisingly easy to learn. I was able to pick up basic
HTML skills in just a few days by reading a few online tutorials.
Building a basic website with Dreamweaver or Frontpage is even easier than learning
HTML. If you've ever worked with a word processor like Microsoft® Word or Corel®
WordPerfect, you already have the basic skills you need to get started. There are several
great online tutorials and books to help you master these programs.
Where you should start depends on your skill level and experience. Below are some
recommendations:
If you know absolutely nothing about HTML
Start with the HTML Primer at
HTML Goodies (www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html).
This 7 part tutorial is a great introduction to HTML. At the end of the tutorial you will be
building your own basic web pages. The course can be digested over 7 days, or as much
as you can handle in one day.
Once you have finished the HTML Primer, check out the HTML & GRAPHICS
TUTORIALS links located on the left side of the page.
Another great resource for learning HTML is W3Schools (www.w3schools.com). The
website features HTML tutorials, quizzes, and references. Once you have mastered the
basic tutorials, you can jump over to the advanced tutorials and learn even more about HTML.
If you need something more comprehensive than these tutorials there are several HTML
books on the market.
If you know some HTML Basics
If you're already somewhat comfortable with HTML, I recommend that you start by
learning how to use a visual website editor like Dreamweaver or Frontpage. You can get
started with one of their built-in templates or build your page from scratch. Both
Dreamweaver and Frontpage have tutorials featured within the "Help" section of the
software. There are also several good books on the market (View Dreamweaver
Books/View Frontpage Books).
If you prefer to learn visually, there are also some great online video tutorials available. If you're looking for Dreamweaver video tutorials, I recommend visiting the Macromedia
Developer Center, where you will find several free and informative tutorials.
