While in my day to day work my window to the computer world is the unix shell, I decided to tackle during some of my free time a more creative aspect of computer usage: websites design and development.
Technologies, tools and approaches in this field are numerous; Therefore the uninitiated soul like mine could easily get lost in this sea of information.
However, I quickly came to the conclusion that the best workflow to follow in designing a website is through the Adobe Creative Suite set of tools i.e. Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver.
After extensively searching through the net, I fell on the following website how.todesginyour.com.The guy has a set of video tutorials that go through each of every step of:
- designing a website in Photoshop.
- Slicing the design for the Web.
- Importing in Dreamweaver and coding it in HTML and CSS.
The videos cost around 50$/30€ but they are worth it. I am currently going through these videos and I have come a long way in understanding how to design an build a website.
Who knows maybe I will, one day, use this knowledge to earn money :)
