Coding
Although you can buy an existing home, it's more fun to build one from scratch. You have total control over the structure and design. Of course it might take more time and effort, but you'll truly understand how the home is constructed if you do it yourself. The same is true of web design. Raw coding will take more time, but it will also help you understand every aspect of website construction. Once it's done, you'll be able to expand or enhance every aspect of the site.
In this section of the website, you'll learn to build web pages using XHTML. Once you've learned the basics, then it's time to consider larger scale projects where a web development tool will save you time. In larger scale projects, you'll use your XHTML skills to tweak and refine your website. Consider starting with the creation of a simple, personal web page.
Please Note: You will be using NOTEPAD (Windows) or TEXTEDIT (Mac). Do NOT use Microsoft Word or Front page! You need a place to create raw text to generate clean XHTML documents.
