I am a freak in web application development with Dreamweaver, Visual Web Developer, Visual Studio .Net, I do more of GUI - and good designs too. I know a little of C#.Net language. What can I possibly be called in the Web Application Development field?
I am good at web GUI development. What can I be called?
Designing GUIs alone is not enough... you need to be able to write the code to make them work too...
Anyone who can operate a mouse can design GUIs, but it takes skill to write the code to make them do anything. If you can do this part too, call yourself a "programmer", otherwise call yourself a "keen amateur".

What is the advanced technology in web development ?
The "advanced" technology in Web development is actually a fairly broad topic. "Basic" technology would be considered the use HTML tags to create Web pages which post input from forms to the server and provides a response.
Over the years, technology has advanced in several facets. One of those is maintaining "state" (or remembering) the user who visited the Web site. This was done through cookies, hidden form fields on HTTP POST requests back to the server (also known as a "SESSION" in ASP).
Other technologies, such as CGI, variations of CGI in different languages and the use of XML along with XSLT (XSL transforms to format the XML data) have started to modernize the creation of fancy Web pages from data presented in a standard format --without the need to have applications themselves perform the generation of output.
Newer or more apropos "popular" paradigms, such as AJAX (a newly coined buzzword) which do nothing more than have javascript on a page make non-visible requests to the server then dynamically update the User Interface from the asynchronous callback results in a standardized fashion have been used in the past.
Advanced technology, in a nutshell, combines the several portions of server-side and client-side technologies that have accrued over the years. A lot of people (in theory) tend to do most special transformations to data through XSLT/XML on the server side and attempt to keep generated code to a level which most browsers understand (to get the largest audience). AJAX application still require the server to perform special processing to return data back to the client that it will present to the user... however, JavaScript needs to be enabled and needs to support whatever UI changes come from that request.

Is learning html coding for web development hard?
In the future I want to be able to maintain websites for different companies. I'm talking a html coding class and probably in the summer, dreamweaver. What do you all think?
Is learning html coding for web development hard?
It sounds like you're doing great. Many web developers/maintainers have little web experience before they start. Often, they are in small companies, where they volunteer to do it. Doing an HTML/dreamweaver course is certainly a good way to go about it.
In order to get a job though, it is usually good to show your portfolio (i.e. sites you created). A good starting point is to make a site on a subject you like (whatever to start, though preferably something commercial). Make sure the site is tip-top, with everything working and professional (no loud colours or grammatical errors). If you don't have any ideas, ask a friend or a friend of a friend if you can make a site for their business (maybe you know a local hairdresser or something that could use a very basic site). You won't get paid to start, but after a couple of sites, you'll be on your way.
If you need inspiration, look at sites people have created, and do something similar. Don't be afraid if you find something which looks hard, just do what you can do, but make it good (don't be slack!).
Good luck!
Reply:HTML is very easy, here is a good tutorial http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/
It's just there is no need to learn HTML since there are many tools, Such as Dreamweaver or Visual Studio that do all the HTML coding for you. What is more important and is harder is to learn other languages you will need to develop web sites, such as PHP, ASP, VBScript, JavaScript etc.
Reply:This is not really hard to understand a web coding.
The key of web coding is tag.
If you have known well about these tags, I think you will not face difficulty in building a website.
A website design is the most important thing.
If you build a website, and the layout design is poor (eg. choosing a contrast colors), I think nobody will visit our website.
So, according to me the most difficult in building a website is website design.
It's difficult to invite people to visit and enjoy our website through its layout. It's not easy.
But, if you have an artistic sense, I think this is not a big problem for you.
I think the coding is easier than a web design.
Good luck........
Reply:Well learning HTML is not hard, if you enjoy actually learning it and doing it. I have seen people have the worst time doing it because they didn't enjoy it. An i think its a great idea about the 2 classes you wanna take, i took both and they both helped me a lot. I would also recommend looking up a server-side programming class, i would wait till after you do html and dreamweaver classes because theres a lot to server-side programming and needs your full attention. But It will teach you how to do shopping carts, and now a days a lot of people want you to maintain those for them more then just the site information. Not to mention it's something good to learn and add to your resume. Also, i dont know if your html class will teach you this, should, but if it doesn't learn how to do a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) that is becoming very popular now a days. But, a good site to check out, if you run into any HTML problems or wanna learn CSS on your own is http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp. Its not just great for HTML and CSS, but it has many other popular programming languages, not all, but most and gives the basics about each of them. But i agree with everyone else, its not keeping up the sites and doing it that is the problem, its keeping people interested in your site that is the hard part. You might think something looks great, but if you ask a average computer user they might hate it. Best thing to do is ask multiple people questions an ask what they like and dont like about it, and how you could improve the site. Best advice will come from the most honest people you know, so ask them first. Good Luck
Reply:I don't think it's hard. To me the hard part was the graphic design, making an attractive site, but I have virtually no artistic talent.
Reply:While learning HTML won't hurt, there is a bit more to website upkeep than just knowing HTML. Most companies maintain the website using their own IT department, or outsource the work. If you are working in an office environment, there are other programs that may be better suited to making you more valuable to employers, such as PowerPoint, Excel and other office suite type software.

Is this enough?
Is this web development course well rounded?
It's both more than enough, and also NOT enough, all a the same time.
Here's the problem... a truly successful, QUALITY website takes a large number of diverse skills that are rarely bundled up in one person. For example...
1) Design and layout and usability studies... the creative/artsy stuff.
2) Web programming, database design, writing program specifications... the software engineering stuff.
3) Writing for the web... tailoring content to be search-engine-friendly, developing strategies to successfully "market" a website, managing a flow of incoming data from contributors (to keep the site "live" and updated).... the advertising and writing end.
4) Managing database backups, managing and maintaining relations with the registered users... the "boss", administrative, manager and IT department stuff.
A great way to measure what direction you want to go, and the skills that apply to the field that interests you... have a look at the "job roles" over on Brainbench... they recommend a specific set of certification tests based on the job role you're after. Some of the tests are free, most aren't... but you can look at the outlines of each test for free, and it will give you an idea of what topics you'll want to cover.
Reply:NO man this is not web development
It is only web designing(for it, it is sufficient)
Development means Server Side Scripting in any of the language such as ASP, ASP.NET, JSP or PHP.
Reply:That should be more than enough to get started. Once you get into it you'll see what you're interested in and focus on that. If you're into pure HTML then you can focus on that. Most people use dreamweaver, its a pretty nice tool.
I think if you take that class you'll do fine.
Reply:This would be a good start if you have never had any experience at all with web design. I do this for a living and most of the listed software is out of date but the methods should still be the same. If I were truly trying to learn from these classes I would focus my energy on studying HTML (xhtml) JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheets. You do not need any specific software to get started doing web development, just a good text editor (notepad) a browser (firefox) and a graphics manipulation program Gimp, paint shop pro, or the industry standard Adobe Photoshop.
Something that I do not see mentioned is SEO or search engine optimization which is very important if you want people to be able to find your web page.
AJAX is also something that is not mentioned in the list and it stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is one of the most powerful implementations of web technologies today.
Also if you are planning to use the firefox browser (I highly recommend it) get the Web Developer Tool Bar and FireBug add-ons. They will make your browser an integral tool for the development of websites by extending your browsers capability so that you can study how other people have engineered some of your favorite web sites.
If you design your sites to be compatible with Firefox, Internet Explorer 6 or 7, and Safari you will cover the vast majority of all web browsers used on the market today.
Reply:No, I believe this aint really enough. Well this course seems to be a start but I dont really see any serious web programming in your syllabus. If you are just planning to become a designer then this would help, but if you are looking to be a developer this wouldnt suffice.
Try to go for a more practical oriented course as yours seems to be more into theories. And look for a course that involves serious web programming both server side and client side and also any popular accompanying DBMS.
I would suggest PHP/MySQL to be a good start and slowly move onto ASP, ASP.NET, C#, Perl, Java, JSP along with Oracle and MS SQLServer along with your above syllabus.

What's a decent laptop specification needed for web designing and development?
Hi guys, with all the new gizmoz coming and going so quickly, it is quite hard to choose. I want to get a laptop so that it would help me to study/develope/design good websites? And i dont want to splash out alot of money for a laptop because i'm on a low budget. What kind of specifications do you think is needed to decently run Adobe Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver simultaneously without causing the laptop to lag. I am purchasing an external hard disk to store my work, so i dont need a laptop a with large storage capacity. Do i need a good graphic card/accelerator since i'm not going to do anything else other than web designing and browsing sites. Does Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8 and Photoshop CS2 work well on Microsoft's Vista Home Edition?
Really appreciate all your input..Thanks a million..
What's a decent laptop specification needed for web designing and development?
additional ram and a good video card would be great, but under windows vista, you can hardly find one. your dreamweaver apps will work well, but will it be installed using vista? try to use the new dreamweaver the dreamweaver cs3, that's the latest one for dreamweaver
