Being able to design a good website is simply not enough these days without the technical knowledge to back it up, it's all about content management systems and all of the boring bits that go with it. The boundaries between techies and designers is fading fast and those who don't update will find themselves left behind! I knew those boring books would come in handy at some point ;) As a creative student about to graduate, I have long been aware of web design and web development merging into one, most employers are now looking for dynamic html and basic knowledge of server side scripting as well as design skills.

It’s by far the best open source one. Easy to learn, quick to run. Problem is because it’s free, open source and mainly used by hobbyists, the bigger potential clients tend to give it less respect than it deserves. I much prefer C# though….
