The trouble is, these designers that write these tutorials seem to think they can simply take off there designers hat and replace it with a teaching cap, well I'm afraid to say it's not quite as a simple as that, and teaching is a skilled profession that has to be learn like any other profession. So my advice to any other designers that need to learn how to code websites is this, go buy and invest in some of the recommended books above and learn the correct way from the start in a well explained manner. Stay well clear from free online tutorials!!

Web 2.0 its more about development of online software to brought the web more user friendly. You may do graphics for the old web (1.0? ), or for the web 2.0 or for the web.3.0... you may want to ask something about web 2.0!? well, i understood what you ask.. i´m being pain in the ass.. ROFL - but designing for wordpress icons, youtube avatars or blogs, etc etc it as not big science. am i right? Or maybe i needed also a good book about Web 2.0 Graphics :D quote=”Does anyone recommend a really great book that maybe shows what has been dubbed as WEB 2.0 graphics or so?”
