is the best one

Currently I know the following intermediate to expert level: Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya, Dreamweaver, Flash, CSS, Java, HTML, little PHP, After Effects, and Encore.

Please list the programs that I need to learn for designing and another for web developing, thanks.

Well you can do it using the programs you’ve got (plus an FTP program obv). I am a web developer and designer and I use:

Photoshop, notepad++ and filezilla. That’s it. I also use flash a bit.

The languages I know (fluently):
(X)HTML, PHP, Javascript, CSS, SQL

I also know VB, C, C++ and Java but these aren’t really used for websites.

iTunes tends to help a bit as well

Hi, I am a web developer, of course I know some rather helpful plud-ins, but would like to know more. Thank you.

Hi, I should advice you to learn about the following Firefox plug ins.
1. Flash Switcher - it enables you to choose between different versions of flash so you can be sure your code is compatible with all existing versions of Flash.
2. Firebug

Firebug allows you to edit CSS and HTML and any browser side code from within the browser. It’s a great tool to figure out why your web pages are loading slowly, what JavaScript code is slowing things down, and editing pages within the browser environment.

3. Live HTTP Headers

Live HTTP headers plug-in shows you the dialog that happens between the web server and your browser. It helps to figure out why things aren’t redirecting or why search engines aren’t properly indexing your content.

4. FireShot

Have you ever wanted to send screenshots to clients or take an image off a page and use it in a mockup? FireShot lets you take screenshots of entire pages, selected areas, or the current window and export it to an imaging program. It is great for client meetings, quick mockups and portfolio pages.

5. Tamper Data

This plug-in lets you modify GET and POST parameters on any page. Use it to test form processing code, diagnose bugs and test for security issues. Its only issue is that it won’t work in tandem with Google’s web accelerator.

6. Load Time Analyzer

Load Time Analyzer enables you to see how long your web page takes to load for different speeds. It is especially useful for web development specialists whose audience may still be using dialup.

7. MeasureIt

Do you need to create a new graphic but don’t know what size or perhaps do you need to know the exact dimensions of a piece of web page? MeasureIt adds a ruler which lets you measure vertically and horizontally.

8. ColorZilla

It lets you get the RGB colors of any element on a pageusing a drop tool similarly to Photoshop. Great when you need to design new graphics on an existing project.

9. Link Checker

Line Checker is used for checking which links aren’t loading properly or go 404 from any given page.

10. Web Developer

Its features include: view the CSS property or parent class of any element on a page with a simple click, find broken images, view any form field and much more. You can clear cookies, run a DOM editor, and use all other functions from one simple menu. Once you start using it in web development, you will never figure out how you lived without it!

Considering that you know how to program from scratch , I wonder if DW is use in big companies to develop websites?

I use it….it’s still chock full of features, and yeah, I generally code everything by hand, because I know what it will do.

I know a lot of developers who use it (again, they usually do everything by hand in it), although I also know a bunch who don’t go too far beyond Notepad++. You use what you’re comfortable with, in the end.

Which increment expression is the one most commonly used by programmers and Web developers:

x++
or
x = x + 1

?

If the ++ is supported in a particular language, it is usually preferred.

If it isn’t, then you might see:

x += 1

The x = x + 1 form is not very idiomatic.

But of course, I have zero statistics on that, and neither does anyone else.

Im getting ready to set up a web-site (details withheld from here), and Im looking for help setting it up. The situtation would be on a volunteer basis until members start to sign up, then payment for services would begin. Where would I be able to find help?

You could try rentacoder.com or getacoder.com. If you have a university nearby, you could contact their CIS department and see if you can find a student who wants to get a jump start on his or her resume.

you take into account that they exchange codes,actionscript,web templates,dynamic site with project manager application and test enviroment and how do all these work to help a situation like this?

Set up a Subversion repository and provide access only via SSH tunnels.

Does anyone know of any good companies or Web sites in the Twin Cities (or nationally for that matter) that could help me find some good developers…

Get in touch with Robert Half Technology. They can find you developers. Actually, there are dozens of tech recruiters/placement firms in the twin cities that are smaller if you don’t want to deal with RHT.

I am looking for a web developer to help us on a project basis. Someone who can use c# and has some familiarity with asp.net. net. Where’s a good place to find this time of person? (Eg magazines, forums, website, etc)

to get a quote you could goto www.noagenciesplease.com

we’ve used rentacoder.com twice, for DNN .NET projects which we don’t do in house, but the standard/support has been terrible, I would not recommend.

We no use a guy for any projects like that which come up, lee.martin@hamiltondesignit co uk , who is really good and economically priced.

hope this helps
