Any computer experts in the house ?

Question

I want to set up a website and subscribe to google adsense as well.

Please tell me , is there any software available that i can use to set up a website , for a computer literate person like me,but yet, easy to operate(the software) ?

Do we need technical knowledge to make our own website and get google ads on it or can it be done by anyone and does not require specialisat knowledge?

What are the benefits of studying a computer course - designing and internet technologies ,programming etc in addition to the courses i am pursuing at the moment - accounting, and investment courses ?

I CANT DECIDE WHO GETS A BEST ANSWER .. DAVID OR MORTICIAN ?

Answer 1

You need technical knowledge if you are going to do a good job of it. You might be able to get by without it, but the results wouldn't be as good as they could be.

You can always leave the technical side of things in the hands of a partner and just provide the content.

As for the benefits of studying a computer course, you get better computer skills. Computers are used in just about every industry and being able to use them more effectively will make you better able to do pretty much any job (e.g. being an able programmer will allow you to automate certain parts of your job, reducing risk of errors and giving you more time to work on other things).

As far as the particulars of the technical knowledge needed for creating webpages, then here are some starting points:

Software, you need a text editor (the code view of Dreamwever is reasonable, with some good autocompletion and syntax highlighting, but it is expensive, I tend to use JEdit), and some browsers for testing.

FireBug is an excellent debugging tool for CSS and JavaScript while the Markup Validator is useful for finding syntax errors in the HTML.

Software which attempts to bring a WYSIWYG approach to web design is fundementally flawed. The HTML language is about structure and semantics and trying to represent that graphically is very very difficult. CSS is the presentation language for the WWW, but it doesn't lend itself to a point and click approach either.

If you click a given point, are you talking about a point relative to the viewport? The top of the document? The paragraph you are in? Something else? What units are you talking about? Pixels? Points? Percentages? The current font size?

CSS lets you describe all these things, and your choice will effect how the page adapts to different browsers (with different window sizes and font sizes).

If you really want to go down the not-really-WYSIWYG route, then Dreamweaver is one of the least worst choices available. Another almost reasonable choice is Nvu, which is somewhat more affordable.

Answer 2

If you are in fact literate on computers, you should have no problem with Front Page or Dreamweaver - which are the two biggest out there.

Regarding the benefits - there are many if your accounting and investment classes are needing advanced computer skills. Tech companies need educated investors, not just pen pushers.

Get Adobe Golive Software. It is straight forward and easy to use. You have a layout box and everything you see on the layout box will be pulished on the net. Easy to learn. That is what I use for my website.
