InDesign is a page layout program for printing, more or less. You probably could use it to mock up your web pages but it's drastic overkill when you're new to coding. Do your mock ups with static html, as others have pointed out. If you're looking for an html editor, I'd use something like Notepad if you're on Windows; that may sound facetious but as a programmer you need to learn all the nitty gritty stuff. Realistically you could use Eclipse, but don't use any wysiwyg thing that it may have, for dragging and dropping things on the page; edit the raw html so that you learn what it's about.

For starting out with java web programming, it wouldn't hurt to start with plain old jsp and servlets. That might seem a bit antediluvian to those of us using web frameworks like SpringMVC (ugh) or Stripes (yay!) but it would get you up to speed with the concepts of the Java Servlet Container and configuring things with web.xml, and whatnot.

Hi my name is Daniel, I'm new to coding, so everything literally feels like a foreign language at this point, but I decided to start learning because I'm interested in developing a news app for smartphones and tablets.

Anyway i'm using the Java version of the GAE SDK and was wondering how exactly does coding incorporate commercial-based software. Im saving up to buy Adobe InDesign CS5.5 so that I can create the user interface for the app, but I'm not sure how exactly that works itself out in relation to coding the app itself.

How do I code the application so that it functions with the interface?



thanks for helping out:)
