How to best learn web design?
July 16, 2015
Hi!
I figure you found this site because you bought the book, or you’re thinking of getting the book. In either case, it’s clear you want to learn how to build websites.
… It kinda makes sense you buy the book! 🙂
So let’s look at learning web design and development in a broader sense, what is the best approach?
In a nutshell:
- Do the examples in the book. As you write the code and build web pages, you will develop those ‘nerd’s eyes’ I talk about. In other words, the process of writing code and building websites, will demystify not only the process of web design, but even the concepts will all of a sudden, become much more understandable.
- Be patient! As you learn, you will be exposing your brain to all kinds of new ideas … new ways of thinking even. So give your brain a chance to absorb it. Be sure to drink lots of water too.
- Once you get something to work, break it! Yes, breaking things and re-fixing what you broke, is a great way to learn. Don’t be afraid to break your code and your websites!
I’ve been training people in web design and development since 2002; these rules have proven themselves over the years.
Thanks!
