Well if you are getting college training than I would lean towards being a graphics artist which pays very well and is in high demand, and then you will need to start on a trail of different code languages I would say such as PHP and HTML for starters.

Another good way to start learning is to put up like a phpLD directory so that you can see how a well constructed site is put together...

I don't really want to do something in graphics designing. I would like to try something with developing. Maybe you could suggest what university i could go to? I was thinking of DeVry but i dunno.

Learn PHP, HTML, javascript and some other stuffs like photoshop and flash too...

My initial answer would be to study computer science, and pursue the front-end work in the spare time. As I have said in the past, I think that most schools do a relatively poor job of teaching proper front-end development and since the community does such a great job of sharing the proper techniques the time would be better spent studying the back-end work (which is arguably more marketable anyways).

Since I am not a developer, I am hoping that the community will help answer this question. If you are a working developer, programmer, or studying to become one please help out by sharing your experiences in the comments below!

You should try to learn PHP, HTML, XML and JavaScript for being a web developer. A quite knowledge of photoshop and flash is also helpful to you.

[Jectillplum]

there are so many online source and forums on which you can learn lot more new web developing and coding part every day. like w3c Schools,tizag.com, programmingtutorials.com etc etc.

I think i would like to go into web development as a career. So for that i want to get study from uni.versity. Basically , learn HTML ,PHP or some other server-side language.I think that skipping PHP and the others and going straight is a good idea to become a web developer.

learn XML PHP, HTML & Javascript :)

[ngseo]

You can study at home.
You can get in the internet free code.
Try to study javascript, php, any language you are interested.

I think a lot of web development stuff you can and should learn on your own. The university I go to doesn't have much to offer in terms of this subject matter. Most people ahead in this field learn it on their own or outside of college.

Here another question. Not from the institution can i be a professional web designer from free tutorials, which can be found from Internet. In other ways, is there a free complete course of web developing from online.

[stephen186]

I would say along with HTML and CSS..............go for programming languages C, C++, Dot Net, Java.....

[onlineielts4u]

Hi friend so you want to become a web developer. definitely you can become a web developer. no need to worry. i don't know where are you form so I can't suggest university. but i am trying to solve your problem you can join any institute and They will learn you but no body can't teach you anything .you have to practice yourself . you need a more practice . you told you are learning HTML it's good but you need to learn CSS,HTML and JavaScript.While most web developer roles require other technologies such as Unix, Apache and server management, My-SQL & PHP. if you learn all this thing so you will become web developer. so all the best.............

I also like to become a layout artist and also a web developer is their any online school for it?

[bravobolt]

There are a few online school for web design and programming but if you don't want to pay thousands of dollars here's some things you can do. I would suggest going to youtube and checking out some web design videos. Also you would need to get a copy of dreamweaver or even better adobe creative suite. And lastly, just check out the SSEo forums for tips and advice.

Straight up simple answer is, unfortunately, go get a Computing Science degree or equivalent. Whether your primary language is Java,C#, Ruby or whatever, you will have (if you work hard) a fundamental understanding of computing, programming, accessibility and usability concepts which you can carry across any language/platform/framework.

I also want to become a Web Developer. I study different internet programming language like, html and xhtml. I'm also learning about photoshop and flash because it can help to enhance your site. I don't know much but I will soon.
