Offering FREE XHTML/CSS Lessons

I am considering starting a site that allows members to pay to learn web design specifically tailored to their needs. To try out the process and get some reputation I am offering this service for free to THREE lucky people.

All I require from you is what you want to learn. If you have a design you want to learn to program we could do that as well. This will be a valuable asset and allow for you to have a skill that pays well.

 

Hey, sounds interesting, i would like to learn to convert web design in depth, especially how to convert psd layouts into XHTML/CSS, By hand preferably, not dreamweaver

 

Please be sure to emphasize the importance of producing valid XHTML & CSS and teach that. Your own signature page contains invalid Markup and CSS.

Validation enhances interoperability -- correct rendering in all user agents. Pages can fail validation and still display pretty much as expected - sometimes exactly as expected - in graphical Browsers anyway due to their (albeit sometimes erratic) built-in Markup discrepancy compensation which commercial purveyors have built into their Browsers with great thoroughness. However, validation does catch many easily corrected Markup errors and the resultant code is consequently easy to maintain or change. Pages containing invalid Markup may not display or function correctly in screen Readers, BRAILLE interpreters and Textual Browsers or when incorporated into other applications. Valid and well formed Markup also bespeaks careful craftsmanship and that appeals to many web authors.

I also suggest it is best to use a strict Doctype DTD -- that insures correct rendering in future Browser updates (avoiding deprecated elements and attributes)

I agree with this.

If your going to teach anything then teach it properly.

 

this is an awesome idea...
and since your offering i would like to learn how to build an entire flashwebsite!

 

The site is now strict and that page is fixed. I hadn't updated it in awhile. I will make sure to teach these lessons.

 

I am still taking more requests.

 

I'm definitely interested if this is still available.

 

This is still available. All of the people that contacted me have not provided me with what they would like to learn. I am actually going to be trying to get a site up soon for it.

 

Does anyone have an idea of how I could do video for the website? I am thinking video on an entire template would be very time consuming. Should I do video highlights?

 

You'd need video capturing software. Camsta Studio is one of the good ones I think.

 

I guess I would stick with text then. $300 is a bit too much at this point.

 

i would love psd to valid xhtml/css coding help/lessons

 

An alternative could be http://www.camstudio.org. It's Free.

 

I'm sure there are free ones out there somewhere that do pretty much the same thing, I just don't know of the names of them.

 

I'm interested, I'm a junior webdesigner, generally can does my layouts on tables rather than in css. Need to learn more on css/xhtml. I hope I'm one of the lucky 3.

 

nicangeli, does cam studio work well?

 

can I get the lessons for free ?

 

It works well enough for me.

 

I am interested in your free offer, I would like to learn more about implementing CSS with XHTML as to making W3 Standard website mark ups that are tableless, and also about generally improving my CSS skills.
