[himtuna]

WHAT TO DO NOW DUDE? I CANT RESUBMIT THIS.
GIVE ME THE ANSWER IN TWO WORDS :-
1)JOIN OR
2)DON'T JOIN NIIT

[grinning_devil]

had i been in ur position i wud have taken help frm various free tutorials on net nd might have purchased a book on HTMl...the only drawback in this kind of self paced learning is that u tend to linger on woth the course...2 days work will take u 4 days to finish !!!

so a better approach will be to go in for the course..finish it off in 12days .. nd then practice it @ ur own .. ohh but the last statement frm ur post .. " creating a web site using front page" .. are they going to teach u to make a web site with that???? nyone with a lil help and internet can make a web site with front page ... try to learn HTML language rather than making use of third party web site creation tools.....

[expertno.1]

well you should take it

[imported_sr_ultimate]

=)) 3000/- for a webpage course .

i agree with grinning_devil , self learning may be hard, but like they say if you have a mind you can take over world

Just search google with keywords like

"how to make a website"
"Creating Tables and Frames" etc

or you can try site`s like
http://www.w3schools.com/ etc

if you are not satisfied join the course

First of all learn the etiquette of posting ........

" DONT USE CAPS "......

[Deep]

One friendly warning to the ones who dont know the answers and post reply...

if think a person should join or not join anything then please mention the reason why u want or dont want him to join...just posting things like "i think you should join it" doesnt mean anything infact doesnt help at all....

back to the topic...

to be frank I do not see anything worth in joing this course because you get the same stuff on the net for FREE and there is nothing much to learn...

Let me teach you the same here for FREE

So let's start...but before starting make sure that you are capable of reading the stuff...

Basics of the Internet -

Text Based with details

Animated Brief Simple one

Components of a Web site -

Web site – A collection of files Web files, including a home page. The home page is usually the address that is given, as it is usually the easiest to remember. I.e. www.greencomputer.com, as opposed to a web page inside the site, such as www.greencompiter.com/services.html (in actuality the first page of the site is www.greencomputer.com/index.html, the server is told that www.greencomputer.com really means www.greencomputer.com/index.html making it easier to remember web addresses.

Planning and Organizing a Web site

Creating an Outline for a Web site

Hosting a Web site

All 3 covered here - http://www.websitebuildingtips.com/


Types of Content for a Web site - It can have static as well as dynamic content, static contents include collection of HTML pages which user need to download and edit and then upload the same..

where dynamic is easier one, you get a control panel from where you can edit the content and publish by clicking on a button...

The origin and Background of HTML -

This page covers all - http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/historical

The need for URLs - I will call this as vague topic..because its just a basic thing..you need URLs to access the website withouht that you cannot...just one line answer should cover the topic

Enhancing an HTML Page
Using images
-

These articles should help you out for sure -

http://communications.epsb.ca/tips_creating.shtml
http://www.websitebuildingtips.com/design/index.html

For images - http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images.asp

color and background in an HTML Page -

Font color is simple just use <font color="red">this will display text in red</font>

Background Color in HTML - http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit....html_bodybgcol

More on backgrounds here - http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_backgrounds.asp


Creating Tables and Frames in a Web Page -

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

Designing forms -

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp

Creating a website using front page - I strictly wont suggest using Frontpage to create websites....

Macromedia Dreamweaver is the best -

I think I have covered all...

I hope it helps you and saves your Rs. 3000

Spending 3k bucks on learning stuff like "the basics of the Internet" would be a total waste of money. Follow the links given by Deep... if you have any doubts, then pls post in this forum. We are always here to help you out. At least I will, to the best of my ability.

[NikhilVerma]

NIIT are total looters....
They'll teach you the most basic stuff claiming it of high importance and high prices to go with it...

[himtuna]

thanks thanks thanks
but i have already given Rs500. which is offcourse not refundable. There is only one option for me & i.e to join another course .I am studying in class 11. In school we are tought c++ , the course book is Sumita arora. So shall i join niit to learn c++ or I fight with them to get my money back.

[Deep]

Join for C++ thats the better option

Deep

[Nimda]

Yes, learning C++ would definitely be the better option.. but a warning tho.. you might get really bored in your 11th and 12th computer classes! For 1.5 years (whole 11th and half of 12th) they teach only C++ and that too the basics.

When I was in 11th, I already knew C++ and was creating Win32 applications. It's hard to express how boring each class was. I never used to listen in class but even then I always got above 95 in every exam

[himtuna]

They are taking Rs2100 for 4 weeks course(exactly 24 hours) of c++

[Deep]

I dont think anyone can teach c++ in 24 hrs...

they might teach u the very basic of it ask u to refer book to learn more..

Deep

[himtuna]

Rs 2000 for these things at niit is it worthy
intr to c++
underst the fundamental data types
understanding structure of c++ programe
programming constructs like if ,else
conditional constructs
unary operations
looping constructs
introduction to functions
need for functions
defining a function
function argument
..........
......
intro to structures
data storage type
intro to arrays
pointers
object oriented programming
structures vs classes
access specifiers
constructors
virtual base classes
push and pop arrarys
postfix
intro to queues
file access mode
stream insertion and extraction
open mode bits
etc.

[Deep]

yes looks like proper.

but when u said 24 hours then do u mean 1 day or 24 hours total i.e. 12 days if u go for 2 hrs daily?

Deep

[himtuna]

2 hours a day three days aweek total four weeks or 24 hours

[Nimda]

Ya that should be ok. Get a good book on C++ too and practice what was taught in the previous class. I recommend C++ Complete reference and Deitel and Deitel - How to Program in C++.

[tuxfan]

Learn HTML in 24 hours. That book costs around Rs. 125!! That will teach all the basics of HTML that NIIT teaches for 3000!! :roll: The rest of the topics can be learnt by surfing the net. No one can teach you those things.

[bharat_r]

I never go to NIIT or other computer institutes.

The last time when I went to a course was when I was in school.It was "Net Weaver" in NIIT,where they thought the basics of HTML & Frontpage.

The course was crap.It was sooooo easy & I didn't need any teaching.I used to finish evrything even before it was thought.(Maybe it was because it was an easy course)

So I started learning everything on my own.I learnt C++ from an e-book called Learn C++ in 21 days.

Look out for some "Teach yourself" series.

The only benifit u get in joining in institutes is a certificate.

[himtuna]

TELL ME TH ELINK OF THAT EBOOK

[navinquadros]

Himtuna,

Let me share one of the links I've always considered the ultimate in web designing study. Its by a guy named Joe Barta and he introduces the new user to HTML in an easy, simple but effective way.

His site is here

The basic HTML tutorial is free and the online tutorial can be downloaded for offline study at your own pace. Now for someone who's bandwidth-challenged (like me ), that's a blessing.

As far as the C# course is concerned, you could join the NIIT course, but you have to keep practising and writing actual code to develop mastery.

take care and keep me posted about your progress.....

Navin

[himtuna]

thanks
i'll post my progress with post name c++boyz
