My school has a lot of journals, but it can be difficult to find the web design journals. If you can give me some suggestions for journals to search, that’d be a huge help.

Back in 2002 I have graduated as multimedia arts producer, but then lost my interest in graphic design and have been working as an admin etc.

At some point in my life I got a job at very big and COOL (facebook = sh*t) web 2.0 company as a community manager. Later our team was made redundant and I find it unbelievably hard to work as an Admin at a standard company.

I always wanted to study Java because I like programming in simpler languages such as applescript etc.
Friend of mine (who is a programmer) told me that I am not going to be accepted in java programming team because I am not a geek – and they will think that I am there for money. Is it really THAT black and white?

It upsets me – I want to work with cool people once again.

Here is a list of my interests, please tell me which once are not appropriate:

1) Dropping hints (dual speach)
2) Fashion
3) Design/photography/animation etc. (at the moment do not have cool portfolio = lame)
4) Japanese anime manga etc.
5) Bradbury books and other sci-fi
6) diets
7) do not mind “class A”s time to time

At the moment dislike the following:
1) Simpsons, South Park and almost everything that is produced for masses.
2) Beer
3) weed
4) rude people (f words, racists; I’m not a gay, but do not like if someone hates gays)
5) politics (especially – I’m natively Russian and hate “what do you think about Putin?”)
6) cheap clothes

Please tell me if there is anything that can be considered inappropriate among programmers and what is a MUST interest/hobby.

Using information you and possibly others can amend personality.
Is it necessary to follow common dress code?
Thanks!

Like, how do Web Designers come up with graphics and logo’s (and stuff like that) for a Website they are designing?

It is 64-bit, comes with 4GB (upgradable to 8GB) & Windows 7.
The down side is the processor speed is only 1.8 GHz. The price and everything is very attractive but 1.8 GHz seems slow.

My questions are:
-Is this a good laptop for graphic design and heavy web usage (no gaming)?

-And what is better, a 32bit laptop with memory that max’s out at 4gb but has 2.3 ghz processor or a 64bit laptop that max’s out at 8gb and has 1.8 ghz processor?

Also, how much should I learn about back-end aspects so that I don’t create a site for a small business that needs to be “torn down” so that the back-end will work properly?
I can create a site now with straight HTML that works great, but is borrrrrring.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like Photoshop (or something like it) is close to a necessity, but coding by hand is just fine. I simply have had bad experiences will all HTML editors, and love the power of doing code by hand. I love Photoshop, though.
Thanks all.
