dude photoshop is the key to anything good looking. Learn to love it!

If you aspire to be a designer, sure. If on the other hand you want to become a front-end engineer or back-end engineer why bother?

[thewooleymammoth]

if you aspire to do those things, its good to have at least a basic knowledge (advanced compared to the average person). so you know what your graphic designer is doing and going through.

Should I care? Does he know or even care about what I do?

[thewooleymammoth]

i mean i guess you dont have to care at all. you dont even have to speak the same language. but it helps...

Well there's a lot to be said.

You should sort out your layout
Color scheme
----AND----
Some link's dont work

i just had a 6pak so i hope i make sense. i been debating getting into photoshop and flash, but that is really only important if your doing front end work or freelancing.

i am reamping my site tomorrow (the personal one) . hopefully i will get it get it done. i just not have posted my site till it was done. i guess i got too cocky and thought i was done. i see now that i just had like 25 percent done.

I have photoshop. I am going to start toying with it, so i can at least do the basics. Going to try to take a stab at flash also. just want to get the basic down

[thewooleymammoth]

not really a fan of flash, but you can use it if you want.

Most things you can do with flash you can do with js now. Scriptaculous makes it easy. a little more search engine friendlier and loads faster.

javaScript?... i been hearing that flash is not that great anyways

Flash is a great tool however at some point someone thought they should build websites entirely in Flash and others followed and then they started complaining because it's not SE-friendly.

Flash is not designed to build websites but rather animation's and video's it originally was a new way to make advertisements at small size and awesome quality

not really a fan of flash, but you can use it if you want .. a little more search engine friendlier

Flash is not SE-friendly because it's just an object and is like an image not readable by a SE

[thewooleymammoth]

sorry, i ment to say not using it is search engine friendly

i heard it was a cpu hog, but i guess that is more important for phones and netbooks. recently there seems to be security issues?

reading a js ebook now. i know java fairly well so it should be easy to apply it

java is nowhere near the same thing as js, js is more like c than anything else.
