Anyone suggest a book that would help me create my first website

Bear in mind I've not 'created' anything on a computer since I programmed my spectrum+ to play 'Hangman'

 

 

I can't read German

Have you used the book yourself?

 

Microsoft frontpage used to be good for learners as it gave you loads of tutorials. Failing that dreamweaver seems to be the most widely used for beginers now.

 

Web Design in a Nutshell by Jennifer Niederst

I use Dreamweaver software, and have the Dreamweaver book too

I was told to get that book when i did my Level 2 Web Design Course

 

does your server not offer you a free web page i did mine with free serve not ace but you can look in my profile if you want mate

 

Use the internet to learn......

Get a bit of practice in, I'd suggest using notepad to start with, that way you'll learn how to contsruct web pages properly - use tools like Dreamweaver etc. once you've learnt the basics to speed up production.

Don't be tempted to use Word to create HTML pages

 

I hated HTML in Notepad

 

You wanna try building a 90+ page website using only Notepad then

Seriously though, it' IS the best way to learn HTML, I just use Dreamweaver etc. to speed up development - it's always handy to actually know how the underlying code works

 

Do I really need to learn HTML

I just want to build a pretty website.......lol

I'm playing about with frontpage at the mo

 

Not sure i could do a 90+ HTML website


Agree that learning the code is good tho, as does give you a better understanding.

GurnE - Have you got Dreamweaver?

 

No, but can probably get it easy enough

 

See if you can get yourself a copy and have a lil play, its easy to pick up

But as Billabong says HTML would be good to learn


I use a site to upload my sites too
