How to start learning in creating websites
Do you envy other people because they know how to create their own website and you don't?
Did you wish that somehow you had the same knowledge to do the same but don't have any idea on how and where to start? Or have you already started learning them just to find yourself discouraged and even more hopeless than before? Are you a job seeker and you wanted to take grab of home-based works that really pays, but you doesn't meet their criteria? Well, do not lose hope. This is very normal and you are not alone who had these same questions and frustrations. I am definitely sure that these people that you envy for their home-based works and their skills, have had the same experiences as what you are having now. So, let me ask you this question again, do you really want to learn web development?
Well, the better way to start is to start right!
Never force yourself to jump-start in your web development goals. This will always end in frustrations. There is no automatic or shortcut actions that you can take to automatically master them. There are faster ways to learn them though. Web Development is easy to learn when started correctly, and frustrating when started the wrong way.
How to start right?
There are many ways you can start it and it depends on your desired output. Do you want to create your own webpages without knowing any programming codes? The drawback of this is that you will be very limited as far as customization and interaction control of your site is concern. Let me introduce you to wordpress. Wordpress is an open-source web development tool that will enable you to practically create very good dynamic webpages with a very good content management system without learning programming codes. It is open-source (free to use, modify and distribute). You can visit www.wordpress.com and sign-up for free and start creating your blog/website. It has a very friendly interface that is very easy to learn and interact with. There are still many other content management system applications that I can refer you to, but it's more preferable to focus on one application. Besides, many professional and good freelancers and web developers used wordpress as a content management system in their web development projects. For a basic introduction to wordpress, try my website: http://www.nathancornella.com.
Do you think you can take it to the next level?
Once you have learned wordpress, I bet you will be very eager to take it to the next level for your sites customization needs. Another way to take your learning to the next level is to learn web development languages. This will make you an effective and better web developer/programmer. This will boost your understanding on how your browsers actually communicate with the servers and thus allow you to interact with them. It will make you capable of working beyond the wordpress normal default setting environment . But you need to take note of the correct steps to take in order to effectively learn and master them.
Where to start?
Well, the internet has a complete source for you to start with. Just learn the basics of the following languages and learn how they interact with one another. In this manner, it would be easier for you to grasp the big picture of how to continue according to your needs.
1. HTML - the foundation/framework of every webpage. The first thing that you need to learn. Just learn the basics. It is easy to learn and understand the basics. Do a lot of exercises and master them. There are many free informations that you can find on the internet about HTML, it is just a matter of finding them.
2. CSS - the next thing to learn after/with HTML. Stands for "Cascading Style Sheet". Basically this is used to design your HTML layout. From fonts, color, margins, positions... etc. Just learn the basic and you will then start to get a better understanding on how they work.
3. Php - stands for Hypertext preprocessor. A scripting language used to produce dynamic contents. Php scripts are working on the server side to query for data in the database that is then displayed as an HTML in your browser. It can be embedded in your HTML docs.
From the basics, you can now start to master them by creating your personalized web page. Try to create more practices and get better understanding and good grasp of their behaviors. There are a lot of other applications available to enhance and make your webpage even more interesting and interactive. But it would be easy for you to learn them if you have this general idea or picture of the web development process. In this manner, you can independently learn by yourself and you can easily identify what future actions you need to take to best suit your need. For references you can check the following links:

This is just a guide for you to get well directed on how to start learning them. Don't limit yourself. There are a bunch of information that you can get from the internet. But don't get too excited. Take them one at a time and give more time digesting them. Don't confuse your mind by jumping from one application to another. Learn them systematically, and things will be easier for you. Life is a never ending learning process. Get focused and succeed. Lastly, you don't have to envy other people. They had been in the same situation as you are now. Make them as your inspiration and strive hard to achieve what they have achieved. Besides, envying others is not healthy. It's bad for you. :) Good luck and enjoy learning...
