Comedy sounds good - when we do we get to see/hear it?!
The Dummies book I'm reading at the moment is "Creating Web Pages - All in One Desk Reference", by (get ready, a long list): Emily Vander Veer, Doug Lowe, Eric Ray, Deborah Ray, Damon Dean, Camille McCue, Emily Weadock, Joyce Nielsen, Mariva Aviram, Stephen Lockwood, and Madhu Siddalingaiah...!!
It's a 9-in-1 book - Web Page Basics (done), HTML (done, FrontPage 2003 (done), Dreamweaver MX 2004 (nearly done), Multimedia, JavaScript, Flash MX 2004, E-Commerce and XML.
Reasons for doing it being: I'm in the process of designing/setting up an IBS-related site (watch this space for specifics...), but also I intend in the longer term to set up a web-based business, and I've always been the kind of girl that if I want to do something I teach myself everything about how to do it - I don't like relying on someone else!!
I've already taught myself to build PC's from scratch (I joined an electronics retailer as Product Manager for Computer Compenents - they taught me the basics, I taught myself the rest, and built a PC at home...), wireless networking from scratch and refreshed my (now very poor) Gernman skills. I also have 'Dummies' books for Web Page Design (focussed on design/visual, by Lisa Lopuck), Photoshop Elements 4.0 and one focussed specifically on web-based business for me to work through next.
It's so annoying - I find it very easy to motivate myself to do and understand all this, and teach myself completely new things, but when it comes to my actual degree study, I'm crap! I'm un-motivated, un-disciplined and unable to concentrate...
