Quick Update on Progress

As an update, I have finished tutorials of HTML, XHTML, and CSS. I have created a static website using HTML and CSS at www.richardlindquist.com (let me know what you think). It will likely improve dramatically over the new few weeks as I learn more about website design and related applications.

Everything so far has been fairly straight-forward and I have used sites like www.cbblitz.com and www.tylerking.net as examples in creating www.richardlindquist.com. My calendar project is coming along nicely. I am going to focus on creating a CSS file for my Calendar as a project for this week.

I am using Macromedia (now Adobe) Fireworks to design my website, so I will have to learn alot more about how the program works. Additionally I want to make my website (and Calendar) dynamic.... so, the next tutorials on my list are:

1. PHP

2. Javascript

3. Fireworks Tutorial

I am thinking I am going to jump into a PHP tutorial to start playing around. I am going a little faster than Tyler (see www.TylerKing.net) can write tutorials, so I am using http://www.w3schools.com/ to learn these languages.
