Want to take a course on web development

Where should I begin

[F_Rose]

Hi,

I know basic web development such as simple html. I have owned a website for over seven years and know the site development line quite well too..

I would want to learn a lot more than basics, such as building a site with cold fusion, style sheet, css and more..

I need some recommendations of how to get into this, what courses I should get and where should I get them?

I would really appreciate your help..

I have taken several courses with International Webmasters Association (IWA). I find their online training programs quite effective if you do your part.

While I think the IWA is a good suggestion I have found that there is no experience quite like actually doing it.

Get a domain, some web space and immerse yourself - any questions you have, can be answered using a search engine... or right here

In my experience a self taught webmaster makes a better webmaster.

yes, I am self taught ;)

Of course...

Experience is your best teacher..

But you have to get started somewhere..

Thank you for your suggestions...

Please provide me with more information..

For me a solid working knowledge of html was necessary. Secondly css (cascading style sheets)really makes html useful and flexible. I got this background from IWA in 3 courses. This is the sort of knowledge and skill that lends itself to the class approach.

There are zillions of practical things that you will only learn from self study, trial and error and forums like this. This is especially true of web marketing. But I am impressed with Peter Kent's new edition of Search Engine Optimization for Dummies. A class in this area I think would be less satisfactory than some good reading plus this forum. There is much particularly good material on this forum site in all the areas of web marketing
