I have decided to teach myself how to build and design web pages. I have
illustration background, so I have an eye for what looks good. However I am a
newbie to web development. I wanted to know if I should start by teaching
myself Flash? Or should I start somewhere else? I am not going back to school
, so please please do not suggest that.
Thank you for your input. |

Well, that depends on if you want to create flash websites or html websites.
Since flash itself requires little to no html knowledge, I would think it's up
to you. Personally, I would learn html basics then flash basics. |

| Uh, well if you want to create flash websites, then don't you think you should start with learning flash? I guess I don't understand why you asked this question. |

"Cool looking" and "easy to use" are a very hard combination.
ESPECIALLY when using Flash. What about "accessibility". Not to
mention is the website going to save information? Now you have added
server side scripting (PHP/ASP/JSP etc...) into the mix.
I would suggest learn some basic HTML, With it learn Java script,
this will be a direct line to Actionscripting and Flash. And hit a
few websites that talk about usability and accessibility. This is not
a trivial thing you want to do. |

| It wasn't a smart comment. Your question was pointless. If your goal is to learn Flash, then begin with learning Flash. it's as simple as that. |

Or maybe he wanted to know if he should learn about the technology that
actually serves the Flash content to the browser?
