Every aspect of a web page needs to be carefully scrutinised for optimisation. Strip off anything and everything that is not needed. Less is sometimes better. (This tutorial is a part of the series – “How to become a web programmer in 4 easy steps”. Read previous post here.)
We will discuss mainly about two types of optimisations – Image Optimisation and Minifier

Validating tools offer an easy way to honour the structured way of writing code. This post details ways to do validation on your code. (This tutorial is a part of the series – “How to become a web programmer in 4 easy steps”. Read previous post here.)
HTML, XML, CSS, RSS and JavaScript can be validated using the following tools – online as well as offline.
BUGS! They need special care and attention. They need special tools too. This post is dedicated to squashing bugs. (This tutorial is a part of the series – “How to become a web programmer in 4 easy steps”. Read previous post here. )
Nailing bugs can be done with assistance from browsers. We will discuss tools that are available with the three major browsers in the market – IE 8, Firefox 3.5 and Google Chrome 3.0.
Among the many things that play a crucial role in maintaining the flow of development, the choice of an editor and reference document are undoubtedly the most important. Today we will discuss them.

We will start our discussion by setting up a development environment. (This tutorial is a part of the series – “How to become a web programmer in 4 easy steps”)
For every budding web developer, it is extremely important to get himself/herself familiarised with the basic setup required for client-server architecture. On the client-side only a browser is needed. Since all operating systems come with at least a browser, we can concentrate on setting up the server part of the story.
Here’s what you will need:
Besides their popularity, all of them are free to use.

“Gather the tools and know them“
In a nutshell, yes, that’s it – the recipe for starting out to be a web programmer.
It took me a while to figure out, gather and put the ingredients in their right place. A break-up of the tools is given below.
Ssh! I know the secret. Now you are about to know the secret. Read on; if you can you keep a secret.
