TRAINING SITES

  • Lynda.com
    Lynda.com is a site with video tutorials and sourcecode to take you from novice to pro in a series of lessons. Though it’s normally a paid subscription, as a BYU student you fortunately get free access to all the videos and their sourcecode!

  • DigitalTutors.com
    This is a WONDERFUL site for beginners to advanced users. The thing I like about Digital-tutors’ tutorials is that they will demonstrate common mistakes people make as they guide you through the tutorial. It’s a sort of PCK-minded learning environment. The down side is the it’s $$$, um, expensive. However, if you register for a free trial, you can still gain access to some free tuts, so it’s worth signing up at least.

  • BYU IT training
    One of the great things about being at BYU is that we get resources and training for free. The IT department actually offers free beginning and intermediate courses on many tools (e.g., dreamweaver, flash, illustrator, photoshop, quark express, MS Office, etc.). If you would like to take your training through one of these courses, you’re welcome to do so.

  • Tuts+ (net.tutsplus.com)
    This site has mostly 1-shot tutorials (as opposed to Lynda.com and Digital-tutors.com, which have a curriculum of tutorials). It’s a fantastic resource dedicated to Web design, including Photoshop and Illustrator. The nice thing is that most of the content is FREE. If you want access to some special content, you can pay a nominal fee.

  • GoToAndLearn.com
    This site is a fun little play on words from a common function used in Flash. So, as you guessed, it’s a site with a bunch of free tutorials for those wanting to learn Flash and action scripting.
  • W3C Schools.com
    A great place to get started with FREE tutorials on All things Web. I often use this as a starting point.
  • Tizag.com
    This is a great site for beginners. It feels like the same type of setup as W3C Schools in that it has a series of small tutorials (written) to take you from the very basic through some more advanced features. It’s useful to read through these as the authors explain how and why things work.
  • Advanced CSS layouts: Step by Step (http://www.webreference.com/authoring/style/sheets/layout/advanced/index.html)
    A great site to learn about Cascading Style Sheet layouts. There’re a lot of annoying ads on the page, but overall, it’s a good place to go to learn how layouts work.
  • Phong.com
    A fun little site dedicated to learning photoshop. There’s even an alternate site in Spanish, if that’s what you’re looking for.
  • icodeblog.com
  • Folks on the iphonedevsdk forum have pointed to this as a good place to pick up some beginning tuts on iphone development.
  • Udacity.com
  • Codecademy.com



For forms:
MUST USE <form></form>, amongst other things.

FOR CSS


Use, <style> instead, please. You can also link to an external page if you want, in case more than one page is using that style.

“Selectors” are like elements or tags in HTML. Selectors are used in CSS. Attributes/properties are within selectors.

SELECTOR:PROPERTY;
