Is Architectural design a good course?

Is this a good course(web design)?

  • There's a course I can take that says I can get "in-depth training" in HTML, Java Script, web page design using Dreamweaver, Macromedia Flash, Fireworks, NetObjects Fusion, HTML, and Photoshop. Then it mentions things like "Information Technology Assistant", "Assistant Web Designer", "Web Designer", "Senior Web Designer" and it talks about hours to complete each level. I have the option of taking a lot of other courses(some similar to this and some completely different), but this seemed to be the one where I would learn the most. I don't know anything about web design, though. Good course?

  • Answer:

    I'd recommend it if it's something you think you might be passionate about. If you like to code, then it's probably a good thing. Web development/design usually takes at least two heads to do well. One person is the creative/visual person, the other is the coder/architect geek. I'm the latter. Getting a job easily? You have to shop yourself and be willing to take rejection. If that comes easily to you, then it's easy. All it takes is one "yes". It gets easier after that. Good luck.

A course that teaches Dreamweaver, or ANY other IDE is a BAD course: it will not teach you to code properly. You are just learning to use an interface that generates the code for you (and very crap at it: DW generated code is the worst code you can think of...) Try a course that teaches HTML, javascript, CSS for the client side, Photoshop for the graphics, and some server-side such as php, asp, mysql, mssql... As to get a job, try to get one with a firm that is already well established in the field of development, but be aware that 90% of "coders" are mediocre but nevertheless a strong competition! (The market is flooded with amateurs).

just "JR"

Forget any courses that use Dreamweaver, Macromedia Flash, Fireworks, NetObjects Fusion. Learn to code in HTML, PHP and Javascript. It helps to be able to use Photoshop for the graphics. As for getting a job in web design you'll need to have years of experience and you'll find it difficult for a company to take on a trainee with little or no experience in these economic times. Be very care full of these home study private courses offering what looks a great career's in web design. Go to college or uni and get the right qualifications.

I know Microsoft Dreamweaver is a good web design solftware and pretty easy, and there is a newer one out called Drupple or something close to that-it comes up at google.com

It sounds like it would be a good course. I took two web design classes and they focused on dream weaver. I learned a lot but those other programs would be helpful. As for getting a job easily nothing is a guarantee and the job market is not good right now.
