Is there an online course (or courses) that can teach me what I need to do in order to both do my own work on my site and maybe take on some freelance work to pay the bills?

I mostly learned from web sites and books, but the most valuable tip I ever got when starting out was to look at other people's code. Use The Source, Luke. Re: With lots of you being able to do freelance work, where did you learn? Michele, any particular sites or books that you learned the most from? Contributor

To start off I used htmlgoodies which taught the basics... then a site called A List Apart... then CSS Zen Garden... and in between just searching for tips on what I wanted to do, like Floatutorial and stuff. Re: With lots of you being able to do freelance work, where did you learn? Thanks Michele.
Anyone else have any tips on what I should study and use to learn? Community Manager

Most of what I learned was first hand experience of me taking hours upon hours of trying to get my sites the way I want them. Sites like a list apart, webmonkey, etc... helped me along.
Another great resource are the Sitepoint Videos. I bought the CSS series by Kevin Yank and it was great for learning CSS techniques. Contributor

I took an old computer long ago and turned it into a linux server. Then I started playing with the server. Started learning php. And went from there. It was just something to do. Lots of reading and playing with stuff. Though I will not lie I suck at graphics lol.
So how did you all learn graphics?
-------------------- Out Of Work Admin Re: With lots of you being able to do freelance work, where did you learn? Thanks Andy. Is the Kevin Yank video series current? Or, has it been passed by? How much was it and where should I find it? (as I go to Google  ) vBSetup Team

But I also used many different web resources and read few ebooks to learn more things as they come by. Re: With lots of you being able to do freelance work, where did you learn? Valdet, any resources in particular that you can point me to that helped you? |
