Anybody know of a really good Tute for basic web.

I have a web assignment, the teacher cannot teach Dreamweaver, the whole class is ticked off, we are not even sure how we will do on a test.

Seriously, we know nothing.

Showoff!  Cheesy

I'm a geek, what can I say

I've got a BBCode setup for YouTube videos if you want to embed one.  Just take the part after v= and put it between [ youtube ] and [ /youtube ] (remove the spaces).  So this one would be [ youtube ]Q6rRLw5ggOg[ /youtube ] (again, no spaces).

Mike: Your question doesn't make sense. Basic web would be done using HTML and note pad. Dreamweaver is a pro level development tool. Plus NOTHING done in dreamweaver can't be done in notepad, its just faster.

What is the assignment?

[Mike Hodgson]

Dreamweaver Bob, if you ever get a chance to use it, you won't write HTML anymore.

We have to put a website together using dreamweaver.

I went back.  Used DreamWeaver, along with some other WYSIWYG editors, for a while and didn't like the code it was producing so I went back to a text editor. 

[Ginnypenny]

I am with Ryan, I just write my code by hand, although I haven't tried newer versions of wysiwyg programs, so maybe I am missing out.  I just found the code to be messy, if that makes sense.
The other thing is that I am really not an expert at html.  So really you shouldn't listen to anything I just said   And further-more it sounds like Mike has to learn Dreamweaver for his class, so there ya go....

You're confusing me Mike, Dreamweaver is an editor not a language. Buying the French version of M$ Word won't help you speak french any easier than Dreamweaver will help you write HTML (If its a web page, its html or html based, no exceptions). Using a generator to create a web page is a quick place to start but usually someone needs to go through the code and clean it up a bit.

Do this, open Dreamweaver, ignore that big screen in the middle. CLick file->New then select Starter Pages on the left pane and pick one on the right pane. ( I chose Personal Training - Calendar)
Give the HTML file a name and you'll have a page full of code. click the Design tab at the top and you can edit to your hearts content.

You've created a web page with dreamweaver. [shrug]

I use dreamweaver and Zend studio every day. But I confess I mostly use the code editor and use the Design tab just to make sure everything is lined up. (the one thing that I like best about the code editor is you type </ and it will finish the tag to close the previous open tag.

You're too far ahead, Bob.

I know nothing about HTML   

[BobEdens]

You're too far ahead, Bob.

I know nothing about HTML   

If you have dreamweaver, follow the instructions in the paragraph that begins with DO THIS. You need know nothing about HTML, but you'll get curious and figure out some things before you're through.

[Marian Murdoch]

I, also, use a WYSWYG editor. I can code basic html, but that's about it. With my tight schedule, using an editor makes more sense, time wise, than trying to code something myself. Someday, I'll sit down and learn, but not today.
