  Web Designers Roadmap
  June 2011 – By: Stefan Mischook

  The skills required in modern web design are constantly changing … that’s because the Web itself is always changing. If you want to be successful as either a web professional (web designer / programmer) or as web site owner, you have to keep up!

  What to learn (as of 2011-2012) – in order of priority:

  1. HTML
  2. CSS
  3. PHP basics
  4. Javascript
  5. JQuery
  6. Wordpress
  7. OOP PHP (for programmers only)
  8. HTML 5 and CSS 3
  9. iPad / iPhone (choice of either: Objective C or HTML 5 + CSS 3)
