This is a thread where I wish for all of you to feed me your knowledgeable knowledge on the Basics of Web Design. I'll probably be asking many questions and get further into detail later, but I figure the basics are a good place to start when learning something. I already know a little bit about HTML coding, but that's it.

Well, I can talk about Css right now. Css is built up of 'selectors' that are made from html tags. If the tag is a visual that can be seen, you can design it in your own way. You can do it three ways: external, internal, and inline.

I use inline because I always has trouble with external. When you use inline, it will be written between the tags which are between the head tags.

HTML, CSS, PHP

>>4 From what I'm told, there are a lot more than that.

>>2 So, Css is like HTML, but it does the codes for you? and you can see what it'll look like? That's kind of like Wix right? What's the difference between external, internal, and inline? Why do you like inline the best? What issues do you have with external? what are tags? What are head tags?

Be as descriptive as you possibly can. I want to know everything!

>>4 You!! I here you're smart in this area. More description of each one. I want lots of explaining.

Reason why I haven't helped on this, is because I cannot explain it. I can do it, but when trying to tell others, it doesn't come out right.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is what makes webpage. To code it, I use Komodo Edit. CSS is not HTML, it makes HTML look good to the user. PHP performs operations to process data.

>>5 Css is the styling of HTML tags. You will place inline or external between the <head > and </head > tags. For me, inline is best because it's more easier to style something on a certain page instead of making a css file for every page. EXAMPLE:
<head >
<style type=''text/css'' >
body{
bgcolor: #222222;
color: cyan; }
</style >
See, the selector is the body, and we place our design values between the brackets.

Now, if you want to do external, you have to make a name.css file for your site and put it in Link rel(link relevance) will tell what type it is. the type will define what type of css it is, and the href is the reference and is where you will put your design file link.

example:
<style link rel=''stylesheet'' type=''text/css'' href=''style.css'' >

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the main markup language used for creating web pages. This is the first language you should learn.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language, such as HTML. Learn this the same time you learn HTML.

Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is a general-purpose server-side scripting language originally designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. The code is interpreted by a Web server with a PHP processor module which generates the resulting Web page. Note that it is possible to convert PHP code to C++ code, improving performance as much as 50%, but that's too advanced for the learning stage.

Those are the basics. Learn them well, and then go on to C#, Javascript, Erlang, and XML.

There are also applications that you should check out, such as Adobe Dream Weaver.

>>12 Thanks!

I can't wait to actually get started on this. Let's see how long it takes.
