I am sincerely interested in web designing,but I am still at the beginning level.So I want to get some advices from experienced web designers and others. Let's say that the aim is to become professional web designer.Every beginning is difficult and I know that.I don't want to ramble and get lost and overwhelmed and demotivated. There are a lot useful resources on the internet and I use google pretty much well off course.Regardless of that I would like to have clear path and vision what is a must and what is not.I know that a good web designer must know html ,xhtml,javascript,php,photoshop,flash etc.But that is a ton of informations. On the other hand I am conscious that it needed hard work to achieve something in all aspects of life just like in web designing.Should I pass all references books per example?! Please keep in mind that the time is limiting factor.I don't have 5 years to see results.Awaiting for your advices,thank you.
