No matter where you are along the path of Web design, there is sure to be something more for you to learn and grow. But how do you decide where to go next? Luckily, there are many different paths you can take and review, whether you are brand new to HTML and Web design or have been writing programs and DHTML for years.
Beginning HTML:
If you're just starting out on the Web design path, this is your stop. The beginning HTML resources cover the basics of HTML and building a Web page. The classes and tutorials will help you get started. The glossary will explain new terms. Plus you can learn more about the basic software you need to create a Web page.
Beginning HTML
Advanced HTML:
Once you've got the basics of HTML down, you can move down the path to Advanced HTML. Advanced HTML includes tables and frames, DHTML, and Cacacading Style Sheets. There are more advanced scripting tools available to the advanced HTML programmer. Plus, you might want to learn more about cookies and updating your site with mutimedia.
Once you're an expert of basic HTML and advanced HTML, you'll have a lot of the skills you need to move into Web development as a career. But there the path forks. You can choose design or programming. It's also possible to do both.

Professional Web Designers:
Professional Web Designers focus a lot on the look and feel of Web pages. Many, if not most Web designers work as contractors or for contract design firms. This means that a lot of their focus needs to be on contracts, legal issues, and what to charge. But in order to get contracts, designers need to know how to create good layouts, write or manage excellent content, and then promote and market both themselves and the sites they create.

Professional Web Programemrs:
Professional Web Programmers focus on the unseen part of Web pages. Things like the CGI, scripts, and programs that make Web sites work. Plus programmers work on the servers and keep them up and running. They manage the security of Web sites and Web pages. Web programmers often implement and manage content management systems and e-commerce portals. Being a Web programmer is often less glamourous than a Designer, but it is just as important a role.

XML Developers:
XML is the next step in Web design and development. Many Web programmers move from standard Web programming into XML programming, and there are a lot of directions you can take within XML. Whether you want to focus more on multimedia and SMIL or you want to post documents for wireless devices with WML or XHTML Basic, XML is where that programming starts.

No solo es diseñar, se trata de comunicar...

Por: Yosanalis Torres Hernández Educadora, Comunicadora Visual Especialista de Medios en Línea El diseño gráfico  tiene un historial extenso en la evolución de la humanidad, en el crecimiento de  los procesos de información masiva, en la transformación de los medios de comunicación. Todo esto son realidades, son hechos, sucesos imborrables en la historia de la humanidad, pero mucho más allá de lo que ya sabemos, el diseñador gráfico debe despegarse el sello de técnico de arte, para combinarlo con  teórico del mensaje, el de informante, el de un ser pensante. No podemos estar pegados en la computadora, simplemente practicando los nuevas opciones y adelantos en la tecnología del diseño sin antes pensar:  ¿De qué nos sirve el diseño gráfico? ¿Qué función tiene el diseño de la información en la vida de los pueblos y las sociedades? ¿Cómo los diseñadores gráficos podríamos convertirnos en mensajeros del pensamiento colectivo? ¿Cómo los diseñadores gráficos podemo...
