    I think it's silly that you were mad at that statement, j_red. You just have to jump into it, start learning html, compatability, optimization, accesibility, and practice, practice, practice.

    I mean, how is that any different than being a print designer? You can't just read about CMYK or bleeds, you actually have to print and learn from your mistakes.

    I've been doing web stuff for 6 years, and there's still more to learn. Education in this field is not straightforward, and one book/class isn't going to cover it. She just needs to jump in and start from the beginning with a small personal site. There's no way she'll be prepare for real client projects without a lot of...well you got it. Practice.
