Re: Cramming

I'll nth Brandon's link. So far I've learned (X)HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP (and some XML) from w3schools.com. I'd also suggust cssplay.co.uk for all kinds of amazing uses of CSS and alistapart.com for all kinds of good general information.

The job isn't official yet but I really need the money.

Whats the fastest way to learn making websites? Is their any program out there to help me? I don't even know basic HTML commands or any type of programing for that matter.
That's just wrong. I'm sorry to say, but I really think you should decline that job and find another. There's a lot more to designing websites than making pretty graphics in Photoshop. It takes a lot of experience be able able to break down any layout design into the equivalent XHTML and CSS code.

Website designing/developing is not that easy, as almost every internet browser displays things a little different, and somehow you always have to find a way to get the website to display correctly in every browser. Although some browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Opera will display things correctly (according to the W3C Standards, there are a lot of others *cough* Internet Explorer *cough* that totally butcher standards-compliant CSS. Once I learned how much Internet Explorer just ignores the industry standards for CSS, i abandoned using it. There is some hope for Internet Explorer 7, but even that does not come close to the performance of Firefox or Opera.
