How did you learn and start designing/coding ?

I learned the photoshop first…. then I learn coding html, css… and now I’m working with joomla template….

thanks for your replies ! helped me so much .
i love working on the web and design .

I started from zero, but i’ve just bought this and one HTML template to find out how it works. First item approval was after 1 month and half after i started. So you can do it!

JW totally rocks, I totally recommend all his work. Yes, I’m biased when the teacher loves his subject, the result comes soon, so beautiful.

1. Messing around with programming on Commodore 64
2. Microsoft Front Page on Pentium I
3. GameMaker on Pentium III (i wish i could find those games i programmed, the GTA2 copy was nice)
4. Got serious about webdev, started with HTML and CSS, had some ebooks
5. When i figured out the basics of those i started learning from forums and tutorials on the web
6. Then came PHP and JavaScript, tutorials and forums as well.
7. Started doing freelancing on getafreelancer.com
8. Found out about jQuery and fell in love in it
9. More freelancing on GAF
10. Started a blog (WP) where i wrote jQuery tuts, somehow i can’t remember the domain name
12. I used a free theme for a while, then decided to make my own and that’s how my WP dev part of life started.
13. Started messing more and more with WordPress, did some little freelance projects.
14. Started a blog where i wrote tuts on WordPress development, learned a lot by writing tuts. That was wpcanyon.com, it’s no longer available.
15. Developed 2 themes for an author here on TF
16. Found a designer (Justin Van Oel) and since then selling themes with him

Here’s my profile on freelancer.com (former getafreelancer.com). No longer active.

That’s pretty much all.

Hi all authors .
how did you learn designing and coding themes and templates ?

It was an accident, seriously

I met Photoshop 4 years ago via PSD TUTS, Just following some post and self experiment. Then I met HTML, CSS, PHP and WP a year ago after read the Rockable Press book “How to become a Rockstar Wordpress Designer” (The Cheapest book that cover almost anything for the Web)

Many, many tutorial websites and blogs, aswell as Firebug (I learn most of the code when I look how something was built) Also kippt.com can be useful in finding resources and tuts
