One of the best things about creating a web site is there are little requirements. Since you are visiting this page it means you probably have computer and internet access. This along with a simple text editor is all that you need. Granted if you want to make images yourself or use some other languages you may need other programs. Once you get into the tutorials on the more complex languages you will be told what you need. First though we will cover basic pages using HTML. It can all be done for free if you choose to sign up for a free hosting service. To make pages we will use a text editor (notepad on windows, simpletext on MacOS). True there are programs out there that allow you to just type in text and drag and drop images but you do not learn how to do it and they have many limitations. The code created by these editors is not always the most efficient either and can be hard to read and debug. I recommend making your pages in a text editor, this will provide you with the ability to make more interactive, more complex, and more efficient pages. The drag and drop programs are good if you are making a huge table full of much information because you avoid typing in all the table tags, but the rest of your page should be created in a text editor. Now that you know what you need take a quick break open up your text editor and jump into the first HTML lesson! |
