Do you know of any good tutorial to learn Web design in design way, not technical one? What I'm trying to convey is that I know XHTML, CSS, XML (a bit), even Ajax and RoR, but well, you can't learn to paint just by knowing how to make strokes. I need to put design back in Web design. Can you help me, anyone?
Try visiting this website http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/web-design-and-adobe-photoshop-tutorials.htm (I would make this a live link, but I can't yet) It's primarily for photo shop tutorials, but there is also a lot of information concerning web design.
If you want a SOLID book, check out "transcending CSS the fine art of web design" by andy clarke he has great examples in there which you can recreate and it teaches you processes for structured design
I recommend tutorials, I first started learning the program obviously and then developing my skills. Good luck learning!
