i am a university student, my major is graphic design(computer) and i want to be a web designer in the future.

 

is this paper good for me? topics covered include :

 

"

1 Protocols and standards supporting internet applications design and security issues.

2 Installation and operation of a web server.

3 Client-side and server-side programming with practical work in javascript and PHP.

4 Database connectivity.

"

 

and should i learn something about web application development? for example, html\CSS\JAVASCRIPT\AJAX\JSON\XML etc. i am interested in design good look web page, but i am not sure whether the skills above are good for me. if they are not necessary, i will spend time on what i really like, for example, 3D modeling and other things.

 

any suggestion will be appreciated, thanks.

Installation and operation of a web server. almost useless knowledge unless you want to Host websites or work for a design firm that hosts sites. you can follow tutorials to setup a personal server. I would also only learn the basics of flash If even bother.

 

Spend more time learning about security in the server-side language of your choose and less time on security on the board scale. I say this because you said you want to be a designer not a developer

 

thats my 2 cents but other may disagree with me.
