Web Design Hardcopies + more

[ratcat]

I am teaching myself designing web pages.

I knowledge of computing is limited.:icon_scra

I've done the basic from a library book: Sams Teach Yourself Html in 10 mins - Fourth Edition (covers html 4.01 and xhtml 2.0) Author Deidre Hayes. The rest of the other library books appear to be outdated.

I wish to know what other hard copies make good reading?

Please keep in mind that I will be learning 75% of the time offline.

Once I can do it via notepad, by the responses within the web development forum that Dreamweaver is the choice software program.

Dreamweaver has no problems with vista home basic as a base operator ?

Yeah, Dreamweaver is the best for web design by far. There is a series of books titled like, " The Javscript Bible" and there is one for every code type, so that seiries might be our best bet.

In addition to Hath's suggestion, you can check this site out for JS-

Depends on which platform you are working on. I will recommend MS Visual Studio 2008 if you are working on .NET. It has a javascript debugger that is really awesome. On the other hand it is rather expensive to use for fun if you can't get a pirate version that is =).
Adobe DW is also quite good, latest one.

Look into learning css also, it'll allow you to do many things that table layouts can't accomplish. Any css book will do the job.

Try Youtube. There is lots of video tutorials about all kind of coding.:icon_pira

DW and notepad is all you need. You don't even need DW. It's just a sort of "spell check." My Nazi instructor would BAN us for using DW...
