    Hi all, following on from the last time i was on here i decided not to do the oscail course and ive turned my attention to doing some sort of web design one.ive found two pretty nearby where i live one in drogheda institue and one in dkit.theyre of similar length both on a night and length of weeks but what im wondering is will doing them give me something worthwhile for my cv in case i need it and will i be able to build decent sites outta doing them?has anyone done either of them or can ye provide some sorta insight to see if its worthwhile.heres the links to the ones im talking about

    Web design has long since moved past something a non-programmer can realistically do. Unless you're already competent in a programming language of some description you will not learn enough to do more than a simple static site in 20 or 25 hours.

    I wouldn't consider either of them worthwhile on a CV for a job in that sector, although just having them on a CV for a job in another sector may be worthwhile.

    Web Development. if you can learn HTML,CSS, Java Script you will have most of what you Need. if you can work with Photoshop well then you are almost their.

    I feel that web design has gone from the days you just need a Text pad and you hard coded your site to more of a DreamWeaver where you just need a good eye for a website.

    if you look at any Web Design Company all their websites are more or less the same. when doing Ajax and java script in College when you look around for ideas for your project and start looking at the different Websites companys makes for their clients you be jaw smacked at what you see.. everything from the code to the page lay out is the same.

    look at http://www.w3schools.com/ for self learning.
