Topic: Learning web design in 365 days
+Lanky Lorenzo !cbHHk9GdPo — 3.2 years ago #63,345
I thought I'd share my learning process in web design. I'm also doing the Python course, and posting on tinychan, so I'll alternate days so I'm only bumping one learning thread per day.

Consider using that clever chat robot person in your journey, it's probably capable of answering specific web design related stuff that you can't find elsewhere

I guess I'll give it a go but I've seen it provide 100% incorrect information so I don't really trust it. Or rather I don't trust unless I already know roughly what the answer is likely to be.
Day 1. 23rd February 2023. I went to pdfdrive.com and downloaded a large book called Learning Web Design by Jennifer Niederst Robbins. At 790 pages I figure it's comprehensive enough to be useful. Today I just read the first chapter, maybe 20-30 minutes reading. There we a few questions at the end of the chapter, pretty easy. No actual writing today. My plan is to go through the whole book before I go elsewhere, as I don't want to be bogged down with lots of little sources of information or exercises from all over the place. No idea how long it'll take to go through the whole book, maybe a month?

When was the book published?

I liked Charlotte's web designs. To write with a web is beyond mind-blowingly amazing.

A most excellent question. Her first version was in 2012 and update (now outofdate) 2018. That was my question as well and a nice lesson. First search was with Bing. Poor result because Microcrap led to books they published or were pushing for a cut of the profits. Firefox and Google of course were upfront with what I was looking for.
HE HAS AN OUT OF DATE PUBLICATION!

I kind of suspected as much since he said he got it from pdfdrive. It's a fairly well-known resource, so I would think they'd be DMCA'd into the ground if they made current publications available for free.

Day 2
I wanted to see what an actual web design session looked like, so I watched this video. It's a woman making a webpage, and all the fiddly things involved. That's all I did today, pretty easy day. See you on Monday.

I wanted to learn a bit of html so I did a bit of this video (1 hour, so I'm halfway)
