Hallo everyone, I found this forum via google. I am a novice really interested in learning web design from amateur to advanced level. Any recommendations of good books? Thanks.

I learned by saving a simple website to my hard drive and experimenting with the html to see what changing variables did, as well as reading tutorials on w3schools.com

Well you can start by figuring out what languages you need to learn. I would suggest HTML, CSS,PHP for starters then you can advance from there.

You will need to install an Editor then you can run them on the explorer.

Ohh and do try out the w3school.com like suggested. Then you will be on your way to Website designing.

I have gone through the path you want to go through and here it is what i recommend. If you are using Ubuntu you need:

BlueFish (Code Editor)
Inkscape
GIMP

You should read about html and css. After that you might be interested in PHP, but after you know to some extend html and css.

Good Luck!

PS: Use google to search about these.

There is a site that teaches you the basics about HTML, PHP, CSS and more. http://www.htmlgoodies.com has alot of tutorials. I don't think you need to read all of them, but it is a great reference to use when you need to figure something out.
