    Hello Everyone,

    I am teaching HTML and Website designing (in Photoshop, Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver etc.) online and I plan to educate a newbie in just 100 hours only (2 hours per day). Please PM me for content details of how about I will proceed in my program.

    Thank You

    Your teaching VB, VB.NET, ASP.NET, HTML and Website designing to different people for 2 hours per day. How much do you plan on charging?

    Whoa there, start with the basics. Show them how to use Photoshop to create a layout mockup (Corrie Haffley's book "The Photoshop Anthology" is great for this), then teach them how to take that layout and code it using HTML and CSS. I can tell you from personal experience that this will take FAR LONGER than 100 hours though. That's 4 days when you think about it. You can't simply learn something as complex as this inside of half a week. Even in school, when we'd spend an hour a day per class, we'd typically spend another hour or so utilzing what we learned in our classes at home doing homework.

    Again, start with the basics. A graphics program, HTML and CSS. Don't worry about Flash (consider that a "premium" course that you can charge more for) and DEFINATELY avoid Dreamweaver - it's a crutch that will get your students a free ticket to Nowhereville PDQ. If you feel you must teach them how to use it, then teach them how to use the management and maintenance features. They'll be able to do the rest by hand anyway - even if it's in Code View in Dreamweaver (should the boss require it).

    What I'm saying is create something of value that can literally sell itself. Not some half-baked crappy "me-too" type of tutorial. And be patient.
