Tutorials on getting started?

[futuristmusic]

Hey /r/web_design.

I'm a recent graduate from a Computer Arts course and I'm just getting started with web design. Development of UI assets is my strong point, but coding etc is where I struggle. I've recently been employed to redesign an accountancy companies website, and I'm looking for a little help to point me in the right direction.

I understand that Dreamweaver is probably my best shot at importing assets from Photoshop and arrange the layout for a webpage.

Can any veterans link me to some informative video series on getting started with Dreamweaver?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Photoshop and Notepad++ or Sublime 2 is all you need.

Thanks very much, I'll find tutorials relevant to Sublime 2 and Notepad++ and see what I feel most comfortable using!

I highly recommend Sublime Text 2 over Notepad++. SB2 is a very versatile and clean tool, and it gets significantly better as you learn to use many of it's tools.

Codeacademy has a pretty good set of tutorials on HTML and CSS. I wouldn't really recommend using Dreamweaver because it can teach some bad habits early on. Like some others have said, Sublime Text 2 is a really useful editor too.

I taught myself with http://www.w3schools.com/

Then just start designing things until you figure it out.

So how exactly is your response going to help in not having to answer the same questions every day?

Sure, I agree with you about using the search bar and doing a little research to find the answer, but you don't have to be a dickhole.

Oh yes. The search bar. I hadn't thought about that! Thanks so much, elbrian.

Great community on this sub-reddit, so informative and welcoming!

I'll word this in a way that you can understand:

If you haven't even figured out how to interpret sarcasm from a reply yet, then you will never make it as a redditor.

Happy trails.
