Where To Learn Website Design In Lagos, Nigeria

Where can I learn website design in lagos Nigeria?  I mean quality education on web design.

Get down to Aptech

I'D say search the net, get a hold of some books and study on your own. It's all about hard work and creativity. If you are just looking for a certification, then you can go to one of those schools.

Sky walker,

The same way Guniess will not let you into their secret and Coca cola won't do the same, is the same way no one will really teach you want you need to know to become very good in web design.

To begin with, rather than spend your money going to a computer school, why don't you get a computer and get Microsoft frontage and Macromedia Dreamweaver loaded and learn at your own pace?

If all the computer usage and experience you will get are those spent during the training with nothing to try your hands on then just know its money down the drain.

I am not trying to discourage you as I do not have a reason to, it's just candid and workable advice.

Those that claim to teach web design, why aren't they making all the money designing websites for people?

These guys simply sell information and if you look very well online you will get these information for free online (well, save for the money spent in a cyber cafe or so).

Good luck. If you ever want to start programming just learn PHP and mysql.

Weeeeell,

In my opinion and from personal experience, I am going to have to agree with some of  you and disagree with some of you as well.  Sorry 

Reading on your own is definitely cheaper, but requires discipline.  Also, there is something about mingling with fellow humans.  It's called socializing.  You get to rub shoulders with diverse pples, learn from them, network with them.  If a school environment weren't necessary, y r so many people taking jamb 10 times just to go to the university?

Having said that, just because Temitope puts up a sign outside his shop along Ibadan expressway doesnt make him a good teacher.  As they say in the states, those who can, do and those who can't, teach    Obtaining a certification doesnt guarantee you a job or success in your career.

As I said, those who can't (as in those who arent willing to swim with the sharks in a capitalistic society) tend to teach, *generally speaking*.  Some who teach do it because they can't interact with people in the real world.  There are people born to help others, those born to do research, those born to live the comfortable life, and those born to take risk and hopefully reap the rewards tenfold. 

To the person who said he should get a laptop and buy some books, what if he doesnt have the resources to obtain such?  Even for a free ebook, it still requires time at a cybercafe at the very least.  You can only learn so much for N100 or so an hour.

To the one who asked y those who are teaching arent making money off the many people wanting websites, could it b because they are making money off of those who come to them for teaching?    I personally would want to teach in some capacity.  After my many years of experience, and not to discourage any of you, quite frankly, web dev is getting boring.  All it takes is for you to come up with enough code in your library that soon your work becomes nothing but cut and paste.  That's been my experience anyway.  Trust me, I have grown gray hair in the biz 

To summarize, I would go for a blend of both - attend a class, then solidify what you have learnt via self-training.  Follow that up with giving yourself coding assignments, go work for someone to gain the experience/connections and/or work for yourself.  Thanks to sites like scriptlance and ecoder, there should be plenty of work out there for you to get your feet wet.

As always, my 2 cents
