Creating code for a website and composing music are very similar in nature. In music, you have to design your composition by selecting the right tones, the proper key, the duration of each note, and follow a procedure and methodology in harmony theory that makes the finished musical piece sound pleasing to the ear.
.
In web design a similar process is followed. Programming languages make up the core of “notes” that turn a blank computer screen into a live, interactive experience–the web page. Every line of code, every flash animation, and every graphic works in harmony to produce the finished piece.
.
Musicians can always improve upon their skills by practicing and learning new techniques from others. Improving upon your skills as a web designer is no different.
.
Here are a few recommendations as to where aspiring web designers and more accomplished web designers can go to for information, tutorials, and tricks of the trade. All of these sources are free of charge, but if you’d like to make a contribution to these information providers, it would really make their day.
