Website Development/Design job….? How/what to know?
I am wanting to move into a Web Design/Development Career…I currently do technical/Data Analyst work…I have a Bach. Science in Computer Information Systems and have a lot of experience with HTML. I have been making websites for around 10 years now, I had a personal website for a long time and now I am currently working with my Homeowners Assocation to create a website for them. I am also in talks to work with a Boy scout troop to create a site for them, also free of charge…I am thinking if I get these up and running really good, I can use them when I interview/on my resume. I have experience with Java, although I’m not the best, I am teaching myself PHP and I am very very organized. I use flow-charts and am good with ghannt charts as well. What else is required to get into this field? If you are in this field what is it like? I am very passionate about webdesign and creating websites…I took about a year off and now since I’m getting back into it I realize how much I love it….
basically I am wanting to know what other skills/things I need to know/have on my resume, how I go about locating a job like this….if you are in this field what its like etc…….

Any good places to learn web development and/or design in manhattan?
Does anybody have any ideas as to the best place to study either website development or design in Manhattan. Best in terms of the quality of teaching and in terms of the price. I’m interested in studying photoshop, illustrator, dream weaver, php and mysql.
