How to become a Web designer and developer


Website design and development is interesting but time consuming. To become a professional website developer like PHP you will need to devote all your time in research, design and development.

There are several programming languages you can start with. Some of those languages are PHP, Java, Microsoft Visual Basic. Perl and many more.


In this tutorial we are going to focus on PHP which stands for Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP is a script language and interpreter that is freely available and used primarily on Linux Web servers. It is a server based application. You will need at least a laptop to follow up this tutorial. Website design comprises of  CSS, JAVASCRIPT, and an application server which is PHP. This tutorial is meant for people who are unemployed and want to become a boss or self employed.

Note you can use notepad or notepad++ to write your code but am using netbeans IDE you can download it from Netbeans' website . There are two types of webpage which are static webpage and dynamic webpages.  A static web page sometimes called a flat page/stationary page is a web page that is delivered to the user exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application. While A server-side dynamic web page is a web page whose construction is controlled by an application server processing server-side scripts. In server-side scripting, parameters determine how the assembly of every new web page proceeds, including the setting up of more client-side processing. We are starting with a static website.

  Basic HTML code

If you are using a note pad type the following code: 
 1. <html>
 2. <head>
 3. <title>Tactola Technologies  </title>
 4. </head>
 5. <body>
 6. <p>Hello World!</p>
 7. </body>
 8. </html>


Save this as index.html in your document. Then locate the index.html file  and double click on it to display it in a browser. You should see Hello World!. Congratulations this is the first step to becoming a web developer.
















Basic Definitions:

index.html that we just created is static webpage and it is the home page of all websites. Although there are other extensions like index.htm, or index.php etc. In the above code, the opening and closing tag is very important in web design. html stands for hyper text markup language. The title is always at the top of a tab. The body is the contains all the content of the webpages. We shall continue this tutorial later.
