    Java was designed for the web. Flash can also be used without knowing HTML and of
    course can be interpreted by a web browser. ( I know... more choices. )

    How are you going to embed flash on a page without HTML? Or are there no more web pages?

    All you do is add (html)flash file goes here (/html)

    Replace the parenthesis with the regular enclosure.

    Do you have to know HTML to do that... ? Of course not.

    And... dont forget the Java option.

    The time it takes you to learn is all on you. At the age of 13 (July of 2000) I had become Brainbench.com certified to program HTML. If I could figure that much out at that age, I'm sure you can manage something.

    So, if I didn't know anything about HTML and reading that...

    What's the regular enclosure? Even if I knew it took < > What you told me I need is:

    <html>myfile.swf</html>
    Code (markup):
    I don't think that would get the outcome the person would be hoping for? That would just have the words "myfile.swf" It wouldn't even play the file. What about a page title? The browser has a title bar. You can't change the page title in flash. I believe that requires HTML. How can you program said HTML without any knowledge of HTML?

    Once again, Java. Can one really create an entire web page in just java, with no HTML at all? I think not. So (again), how would they program said HTML with no prior knowledge?


    Just something to think about...

    My example was oversimplified. HTML is not a programming
    language. My example needs a bit more.. but not much.

    A minimum for an HTML doc would take the title tag ( not necessary )
    the head tag, and the body tag.

    Close them all and you have a well-formed HTML document.
    That is HTML, Title, Head, Body. A maximum of four
    tags...and you can put your flash file in there.

    I explained it in two minutes. HTML does not require
    someone to know it, just copy.

    I have always wondered this too! But how would you become one if you are going to college. Can I choose web design as a major?

    Some colleges offer different Computer Science majors... Other technical colleges offer a break down of either Computer Programming, Networking, or Operations majors as well.

    You'd have to check with the college you're attending, but I know it's a degree of Applied Science.

    Well, actually most teachers prefer to use only notepad to teach HTML, and I can't say it doesn't make sense. They think that this way the student will really learn the code. But my experience shows me that people who start learning HTML and Dreamweaver simultaneously have a better performance, they not only learn the code, but also start creating nice websites much earlier.

    Of course, it depends on how you use Dreamweaver. My advice is: use Dreamweaver because it has colors and allow you create a more organized code, but avoid its graphic interface when you are not familiarized with the HTML itself. However, if you can't remember a tag, use the graphic interface to generate that. This way you will learn the code and will be also learning how to build pages, which are different things. It doesn't make sense we say that somebody needs to know all the HTML tags before start building a website. You learn while you practice, so it's great you be familiarized not only with the code, but also with the other resources you will have to use to build a website.

    This is my advice for you, but it doesn't mean that you should follow it. Every person has his own ways to learn, and you have to find yours. The only thing that really matters is you learn those things that I posted above (at least the basic). And also don't try to learn everything super fast. Take your time. It usually happens because people see that there is a lot to learn (HTML, XML, PHP, MySQL, etc...). But remember: you don't have to know everything. Actually, nobody does. You just have to be good on what you know.


    Best wishes,

    You will know the right moment to start learning something new. You will know that you have learned HTML, PHP or anything else when you get to solve your problems, when you get to think about an issue and figure out how to solve that. But as I said before, don't hurry, there are dozens of things to learn out there, but take your time.
