D-day match

Hey all. I'm currently a college student majoring in IT, but I want to end up in the web applications programming end of the field. The only problem is, so far, the classes that I've taken haven't touched on the topic, and I have to admit, my skills with the Web are rather limited. I was wondering if anybody out there knew of any places I could look for information on programming for the Web? I'm reading a few books, but they're rather limited in scope. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well you want to learn HTML coding, right?

I just googled something, http://www.html.net/tutorials/html/introduction.asp

Try that. What kind of skill level are you at in IT? Do you need more advanced tutorials, or are you a beginner?

Also, when you say Web Applications, do you suggest Java and Flash programming?

I'd say I'm roughly at an intermediate skill level - I know basic HTML, but I'm not up to date on styles and scripting.

Along with CGI programs and DHTML. I was hoping that someone might know what things I should focus on for developing applications for the web. And yes, I AM Google searching too. I just thought I'd cover all my bases.

I'd suggest Javascript over DHTML.

Thanks for the tip!:Y: Any particular reason why?

Do more things. I think it has a harder learning curve though. I don't know much about it, perhaps another knowledged member can provide better insight.
