    To Jeffrey Way, great series!
    I’ve been trying to learn how to build websites and your videos helped a lot.
    But where’s the rest? why does the series stopped? I’ve been waiting and waiting, and no new video is posted. Please please continue this series

        Jeffrey,

        As I’m not a ‘designer’, but I’ve been working in IT for over a decade (playing around with computers for 10 years before that… when the original dreaded HTML frames were used all over the place), I’m trying to decide on which tutorials (on TUTS+) of yours I should go through first to help me play catchup with the rest of the world on PHP and CSS since my media group has switched our portfolio to word press . Should I go through your CSS tutorials first, or the PHP tutorials?

        Thanks!

        Sean

    I am beginning to understand how web building works, thanks to your videos. It seemed so overwhelming before. I am far from ready to design my own site but I cannot wait to learn more.

    I have the same request on your series as Marwan.

      Hey guys. That Session is complete. I decided that adding another ->WordPress layer would complicate the series too much, and abstract from what the session is about.

      Instead, I’m going to plan something new to answer the PSD->WordPress requests. :)

  • Premke

    Nice series, this should be a good base for begginers.

    I used to watch tutorials from many sources but i stick with nettus last few months, and i can say that you have great tutorials.

    Keep it up guys! :-)

    • Naresh

      Ya i too agree with premeke..!!!
      Thanks nettus… :-)

    This was really nice! I’m not new to web, but I had a look at the hole video and find out two things I think I didn’t know. That lists had a left margin, and the correct use of label (which was pretty interesting for accessibility).
    Great work trying to explain basic stuff. It would have been pretty nice to have something like this in my early stages. Still it’s useful to get back to the basics sometimes :D

  • Naresh

    Hi All,
    Can any one of tell me the form design implemenation with ajax.

    • Shobhith

      Hi Naresh,
      Refer this site….

  • Javier Guerrero

    I am learning english with your videos! Thanks!

  • Rosie

    Do you have a tutorial that explains where information goes once it is filled into the form? I would like to collect addresses on my “free” wedding website and used your code to build the form, but how can I take that info and put it into my own database? Is that possible? Thank you very much, I’m a novice and I made this work!

  • Albert

    Hello friend, I’ve been watching your tutorials and they’re great.
    I would like to ask a favor could you create a tutorial where you design a functional contact form with PHP? and could you create another where explain how you created the roll over of your biography? I would like to learn to do things like that.

    Thanks for your help

  • Karam

    I’m pretty new to this stuff so I’m just wondering what the main difference between embedding your form in a paragraph or list.

    Which way is better, in terms of coding standards?
