I also do advise all serious web developers to learn how to hand code their websites. Thank you.

I started out on the internet at age 12. I started out with books, and just looking up answers to my questions using search engines. 9 years later, all this extra time I spent not cheating has not only rewarded me the skills, but as you said, landed my own creation of a popular website, all of which was hand coded by yours truely. To anyone reading this... In order to lead on past learning just PHP and CSS, my best advice to you is to start out hand coding. The analogy I would like to convey is like teaching your child from day one 4 different languages, including writing. Sure it requires much more time and effort, however he or she will grow up with this in-dispensable knowledge and flourish later on in life.

Thanks for the podcast. I am still trying to get my head around the terminology and is slowing coming to grips with html and the functions. Is there anywhere else on your website to go to when needing a fair explanation on what phb, sco, java scripting? Whats the difference between css and html? Your site and your monthly emails are by far the most helpful. I thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. wow.. great to put a face to a voice. Thanks for the podcast.

I learned to handcode by deconstructing David Siegel's brilliant, ground-breaking web site, Casbah (http://www.dsiegel.com/index.shtml) circa 1995-96 and it has served me well over time!

I enjoy your training tutorial for web designs, but I think I'm a little too green to become a web designer. I just want to design my own website. I purchased one of your templates as well as tutorial and have not been able to make all the changes I need to complete the project. I will have to pay someone to help complete my site and show me how to edit when needed. Your podcast is great.

I know that podcsting is the new thing which everyone has to get into, but from my perspective it is difficult to reference and hold...that is have a copy to refer to when writing for students, or for a quick reference or refresher on the content. For this reason also, I think podcasters also run the risk of not being acknowledged for their work. Still this podcast was a good summary of your past web building posts. Hi Steve,
