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

Can I find a web development job with only a Associates in Web Development?
I've found that when merely stating during an interview that I was pursuing my associate in CIW (Certified Internet Webmaster) helped boost my employability. It certainly goes a long way to have a qualification. But, IT is a profession where experience speaks louder than qualification. Even if its just building websites for friends or for their dad's business(es) DOES show committment, and that you're a serious candidate for the role.
On an additional note, you can find loads of self-learning books about various web development languages, their compatible databases, scripting languages, etc from your local library. I'd highly recommend the Dummy books. I personally found it very down-to-earth, funny and useful. For example, 'Web development for Dummies' is a good start.
Good luck with your job search.
Cheerio,
Charles DJ.

What skills do I need to learn to start a web design and development business?
I have 22 years in SW engineering, but mostly with MF's, Unix, no windows or web dev experience. I want my own business--no more corporate life! I'm looking for a list of skills and the most efficient way to acquire them. I'm a fast learner.
What skills do I need to learn to start a web design and development business?
Learn many different languages, mainly:
-HTML
-CSS
-Javascript
and optionally:
-databases
-flash
-perl
-python
Windows wouldn't be completely necessary, but you should have a basic understanding.
I recommend the O'Reilly series ( http://www.oreilly.com/pub/topic/webserv... ), as a great reference material selection. As for acquiring skills, many places offer web design courses, though this may no be preferable if you learn faster than the course moves.
Frankly, the best way to get experience is to grab a couple reference books, do a few online tutorials, then just jump in. Challenge yourself to try new things, build features, make things look good. once you're comfortable with one language, try to combine it's uses with other languages. Innovate!
Good luck!
Reply:The skills being recommended are a great list if you wanted to work for someone in that field but they arent the skills you need to become your own boss.
Ive set people up in business on internet for as long as its been internet. Actually you can outsource most of the needs very cheaply to someplace like India. Having an SW background will be a benefit in designing what you want.
All of the programming skills in the world wont help you to run an internet business. I see many wonderfully created, useful, easy to use, well priced sites that fail. The people lack skills in running a business, in SEO (internet version of advertising, Search Engine Optimization), in finding and managing skills in others where theirs might lack.
Another thought:
There is always a need for well run servers to support everyone elses internet ventures. I run 2 linux servers out of my house on machines that were too crappy to run the latest windows games. They both have hundreds of email accounts, dozens of domains, they host online gaming worlds. I barter for my webmaster services by offering on online /home for wannabe webmasters.
Reply:If you don't mind using Microsoft technology, I would suggest the following site:
http://asp.net/downloads/archived/
If you are like me, I find reading remedial manuals a slow and painful process. I found Microsoft's "Community Starter Kit", a free, fully functional application for running a community based website. The code is free and I have extended it for my personal projects. You will also need to get a copy of
Building Websites with the ASP.NET Community Starter Kit by Cristian Darie and K.Scott Allen
I recommend the eBook version. It will give you a clear road map for tackling ASP.NET, C#, HTML and SQL. Web Service providers like DiscountASP.net will setup the CSK for you as part of their service. It's no cakewalk but it helped me learn new technologies using a real life app.
Reply:No easy way around it, learn website design using the various languages, scripts and database access and manipulation.
Since you will be doing it for profit, you also will have to be creative since the designs you come up with have to be of your own making, not copied from somewhere else.
Some basic things to learn for website creation: html, css, javascript...
intermediate: flash, cgi, perl, php, python...
advance: database manipulation MySql mostly, but in a corporate environment it can be anything Oracle, Sybase, DB2...
Easy way to get started is to install a web server on your personal computer and go from there.
Reply:There are several different technologies going on with the web today, flash, html, dhtml (although the latter two are more rare today), asp programming, shockwave, and others, the best thing to do is to find a starting point and then go from there.
Maybe first learning some asp programming along with html and dhtml. Then moving onto the web integrated technologies such as flash, and shockwave, and going from there would be best.
The other thing to do is to find some books on web programming that are recent publications and see what they say.
As far as where to go, you could check into some college courses to see what web programming courses are available.
Reply:i suggest going and taking some community classes at the local community college. that way you can learn on the professional programs, often getting 7-10 classes in and only pay about $79-100.
then, you'll see what you're good and know where to start, whether it be dreamweaver, photoshop, flash, or silverlight.

You will also need to get a copy of
Building Websites with the ASP.NET Community Starter Kit by Cristian Darie and K.Scott Allen
I recommend the eBook version. It will give you a clear road map for tackling ASP.NET, C#, HTML and SQL. Web Service providers like DiscountASP.net will setup the CSK for you as part of their service. It's no cakewalk but it helped me learn new technologies using a real life app.
Reply:No easy way around it, learn website design using the various languages, scripts and database access and manipulation.
Since you will be doing it for profit, you also will have to be creative since the designs you come up with have to be of your own making, not copied from somewhere else.
Some basic things to learn for website creation: html, css, javascript...
intermediate: flash, cgi, perl, php, python...
advance: database manipulation MySql mostly, but in a corporate environment it can be anything Oracle, Sybase, DB2...
Easy way to get started is to install a web server on your personal computer and go from there.
Reply:There are several different technologies going on with the web today, flash, html, dhtml (although the latter two are more rare today), asp programming, shockwave, and others, the best thing to do is to find a starting point and then go from there.
Maybe first learning some asp programming along with html and dhtml. Then moving onto the web integrated technologies such as flash, and shockwave, and going from there would be best.
The other thing to do is to find some books on web programming that are recent publications and see what they say.
As far as where to go, you could check into some college courses to see what web programming courses are available.
Reply:i suggest going and taking some community classes at the local community college. that way you can learn on the professional programs, often getting 7-10 classes in and only pay about $79-100.
then, you'll see what you're good and know where to start, whether it be dreamweaver, photoshop, flash, or silverlight.
Reply:I would also partner with a graphic artist. Learn all you can from here w3schools.com
Does anyone have any leads for custom development web-projects in Belgium?
I run a software development company in Belgium and we have good references for custom development web projects. Projects are typically done using open source (mySQL, RubyOnRails) and on low cost internet providers. Main development activities are outsourced on RentACoder, however all customer contact for definition, detailed analysis, training and support is done locally. This outsourcing is transparent for the customer, however it allows us to cut traditional prices by 30% on average.
Our projects are targeted at the SME market in the area of sales automation, admin support, extranets, planning, and so on.
We are willing to discuss fair rates for serious leads. If you'd like to hear from us, send your number to ambrosia101@hotmail.com.

How is the career market for web development in US?
Depends on the area you're in. I'm in an area of the US that has a lot of engineers, had a number of dot.coms that went bust, and had a number of programmers laid off, but web developers who knew their stuff were still able to do consulting work, working for small to medium sized companies updating and/or maintaining their web sites. I use to hang out with a bunch of consultants when I taught or coordinated web design, so I could keep up with the latest trends (1-2 years ago).
How is the career market for web development in US?
IDK get on a computer and you may find the info you are looking 4.....
Reply:It is very competitive and difficult to find permanent jobs. As a consultant or contractor, fairly easy. Many companies in the U.S.are outsourcing development because it is cheaper. Even outsourcing to India, as seen with call centers.
If you want a career in web development, you need to be knowledgable in .NET environments and its associated languages. C# and Ajax are the popular languages right now. Many content management systems are based on these languages. Java is another language that has been staying around because many companies are building their web apps in Java.

How do you find clients if you want to get into web design/web development?
Most of my clients have come from word of mouth from other previous clients. One of my college professors has also sent me many referrals since he's always getting asked for names of web designers.
Starting with a volunteer project can get things rolling too - like a PTA group, or church or club and then you can start building a portfolio. People will want to look at what you've done.
Advertising in online directories specifically for web designers and web developers is also a good place to start. Marketing Tool is one of them and they have free and paid listings. http://www.marketingtool.com
Good luck!

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?
I want to get into Web Design and Development? How many hours should I study a day?
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.
Reply:The more you study, the sooner you can start earning money at it. Hope that answers your question.
Reply:Depends on what you want to do
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

Contests require skill, web programming and web development do not really have any skill in them. Theres lots of stuff on hacking them but not so much on making them.

ok, you can easily build a site for us that is web compliant, popular, easy to use, dynamic, looks good and is at the top of the search engines ??
dont tell people there is no skill in it, if you believe that then you obviously dont know how to design properly,
comptitions do exist, like this one for example http://www.webbyawards.com/ - one of the best online at the moment
the only problem is that they charge a fortune just to enter, so usually its only for those that have a bit of money behind them, like large web design companys
there are problebly smaller ones out there, like this one http://www.webforumz.com/ has a Website of the Month Competition, but you would probebly have to google to find any more

I think that you can still make it. Just get some good SAP or Data Warehousing credentials (e.g. something related to Teradata).
After the certifications you can get a break into the domain and can then build your experience.
I would suggest that you should also post your question on linkedin
http://www.linkedin.com/
and IT Toolbox
http://www.ittoolbox.com/
You will get some good feedback from there as the people there are more technical.

Should you study graphic design or web development when wanting to become a web designer?
That's a solid question if you have to choose. Speaking from personal experience, I fumbled my way through designing our company's webpage without much experience in either. I would say I would have benefitted more from having a graphic design background so that my layout would peak more interest (even though I'm proud of what I've done), since there are many free tools out there that make web-design as simple as cut and paste. Programmers are always going to find ways to make complex jobs easier, but you're still going to need a fertile imagination and a background in design to utilize the tools they have come up with and continue to develop.
To draw a comparison, if you were studying to be an architect, you wouldn't necessarily immerse yourself in the computer programs necessary to design architecture at the expense of learning the fundamentals of good form and design. The programs change, but the technical skill transcends the medium used to produce quality results.
