I want to get into Web Design and Development? How many hours should I study a day?

I've been studing web design for a few months, but have found myself in a rut.





How many hours should I be studying a day? In order to be really really good at it?

The best way of getting into web design and development, is to first design some websites, that you can use as references. Then go to some company, and say, this is what I can do for you.





Once you have a job, with people screaming at you, "We need this or that" or, "it doesn't look right in this browser or that browser" is when you will learn the most.
Reply:First you should decide whether you want to be in web design or development because those are two different fields.





Web Design is related to graphic designers and to the laying out of the pages in addition to styling them through using colours + images.





Web Development is related to coding the application. Coding the application might be related to HTML - CSS - JavaScript coding or Server side programming.





In all cases it is preferable that you be knowledgeable in HTML and CSS.





For server side development you should be able to code using wide spread technologies like PHP or .NET.





In the end, it is only when you work with experienced people you will start really learning. But to go there, you need to know the basics so that you get hired.





Hope this helps.

If you are talking about Current Windows style Development, then look at Visual Studio and .NET development which means anything from VB6 to Windows Internal Code Architecture... Basically its a full time study, unless you can intern on what you know, then its a full time job... either way, damned hard
