How to Make Dynamic sites with Flash, Java, etc.

The Flash Academy— learn to add animation to your site
 Flash, developed by Macromedia, is a technology that can add really exciting animation to your site. The best part is that it doesn’t need loads of bandwidth and isn’t fussy about different browsers—to view it, the browser just has to have the plug-in and that’s that. It’s a vector graphics technology which users can create their animations with. 

Learn about Flash at http://wdvl.internet.com/Multimedia/Flash/ where you’ll find articles, tutorials, links, resources and tools. If you need to start with the beginner’s tutorials, you’ll find they take you through the creation of a simple animation. It’s aimed at people very new to Flash. When you’ve finished reading, you’ll have a basic understanding of how the program works and how to use its principal functions. You’ll also be able to test your movie and mount it on a Web page. If you want to be a Web developer and master Flash, you’ll find enough resources here too. You may want to visit other Flash sites because each will give you a little something extra. 

JavaScript and other tech stuff
JavaScript is a scripting language, which can be considered to be an extension of HTML. It lets you create interactive pages quickly and easily. Using JavaScript, you can design your pages to act and react, by modifying content onscreen or interpreting actions from the user.

Get the picture—Web graphics
One of the most exciting things about making a Web page is the way you can put pictures and colorful backgrounds and buttons into it. It’s so exciting, in fact, that people who make their own Web pages often get quite carried away with it and end up using so many pictures or such big ones that it slows down a visitor’s experience of their site. 

As always, About.com has a graphics section in its Web Design category at http://webdesign.about.com. From here, you can get to link to graphics and clipart sites, graphics software and tutorials on using graphics programs. At the Pixel Foundry, http://www.pixelfoundry.com, you can learn Web graphics basics. There are also Web graphics and  tutorials at http://www.webreference.com/dlab http://theboutique.org/, http://www.windyweb.com/, and 
http://www.free-backgrounds.com/. 

You can also get buttons, bards, icons and more goodies at hundreds of places on the Web such as http://www.oocities.org/SiliconValley/Heights/1272/, http://www.internetdiva.com/boon/ 
http://www.abcgiant.com 
http://www.absolutedesigns.com/ 
http://www.1010clipart.com 
http://www.webplaces.com/html/clipart.htm. 
Overusing graphics can kill your Website. And it’s a trap that many fall for. Learn how to use graphics on your site at http://www.learnthenet.com/english/html/48grafix.htm 

 Web design for kids
How kids manage to pick up all the information they need on making a Web page is a mystery to adults. Nonetheless, there are resources for kids on the Web if they need help getting started. Kids get a real kick out of creating and putting up their own Website. Teachers can also use these resources to get their students online or build school Websites. 

Coolest of all is the Webmonkey Guide for kids at http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/kids/. This is an attractive and friendly site where kids can not only learn to make their own home page but also try out cool things like spicing up their page with funny characters, online birthday invites, etc. This site is humorous, lively, and comprehensive. There are enjoyable lessons on everything from a basic introduction to the Web, to HTML, to creating graphics, putting up the page, and so on. There’s also a planning guide for teachers so they can use the site for classroom activities. All in all a delightful and highly recommended guide. 

The search engine, About.com has a massive section for kids on the Internet, including activities and projects. 

If a simple page isn’t enough, there are more advanced and extensive tutorials at http://www.w3schools.com/on HTML, DHTML, XML, WML, and just about every kind of other ML. These are for somewhat older children. If it’s beginner’s step-by-step HTML tutorials you need, they can be found at http://www.teleport.com/~jgoodell/tutorial/index.htm.
There’s also a learn-as-you-go hands on guide for teachers and students on building a school Website at http://www.wigglebits.com/home.html. More information on how to create and use a Website for school is at the Education World site at http://education-world.com.
