I asked this question to alot of people. Asking them how they design/develop websites? Which book is best for beginners like me. I compiled a list of answer i got from those web designers and developers and the common answer i got from them is, “By doing projects, and by making mistakes”. You learn as you do projects. I guess that’s the reason we had tons of projects during our school life.
If you ask me what is the best way to learn web design/development, i would say, from competitors. I started learning to design website after watching an anime called Inuyasha and my first html website is an inuyasha fan site(no longer exist now). One of my friend, at that time, also started this learning process with me. Every then, we will improve our own fan site trying to make it better than the other. So from tables to div layers, from html to php, from paint to photoshop. Competition really drives improvement. With a competitive mindset, it can really drives one to improve himself. Inspiration is another factor that drive improvement. Anyone heard of adam khoo? I didn’t heard of this guy before one of my friend recommend it to me. This guy can really inspired people. And for your information, he is the youngest self made millionaire in singapore. His blog is at www.adam-khoo.com
I bought one of his book called secret of self made millionaire a few years ago, and reading his book really inspired me up. Recommended book if you are interested.
