Hiya Scott, Thanks for the compliment. Its taken work, ive had setbacks (not least being that ive had severe dental problems so have had to put the launch back by 2 months) but keep your head up and keep working. Personally i wouldnt rely too much on dreamweaver, although photoshop is going to be a great help to you (its my biggest weakness) If you can handcode xhtml/css, in notepad, or a similar program, then it will be alot easier when you want to make the jump like i did. (i used headfirst html and css (using xhtml) to help get myself back up to a decent standard) What are your next steps going to be? Have you considered trying to find an apprenticeship sort of role?

April 21, 200917 yr Author Hi, thanks for the reply,im working with dreamweaver in nite school at the moment on a basic course,its quite enlightning but obviously not deep enough to take me into career mode! i wouldnt know where to start looking for apprenticeships? i am not that advanced either yet but any pointers as to where to look eventualy would be great. Ive just purchased the head first book after reading your reply, i have a few reference books but they have very good reviews! thanks. Any tips on learning code off by heart? how did you do it? Sorry to hear about your dental problems! cant imagine much worse!!! Hope your better,take care,Scott. Hiya Scott, Thanks for the compliment.

Apprenticeships depends on how you want to go about it. you can either start teamed up withsomeone online, and just ask them if you can code a few small projects for them (money would be low though) and they can then check the code before its final submitting. Or you can try a local company, most of which will offer it as an unpaid role. Reaper
