title: Noob web developer wants to add web design and interaction
body: <p>I'm sure this question has been asked but it's hard to just google specifically for what i'm looking for.</p>
  
  <p>So, basically I'm already comfortable with OOP and computer science from college material. Now, I'm trying to learn web development and already have the basics of HTML, CSS, and some django (which is what I'm using to make the website).</p>
  
  <p>Now, I know CSS is for kind of designing how the website looks. And javascript can help add animations and extra stuff. Then I've heard so much more stuff like AJAX and javascript (maybe someone could help give me a list of all the tools that are for design: AJAX, javascript, javascript libraries, etc.). </p>
  
  <p>Basically, my main question is this: <strong>Anyone have any recommendations for how I should approach learning this material?</strong></p>
  
  <p>(Like, should I try to pick up javascript and learn some of the libraries that are often used? or... maybe I have the wrong idea of what javascript does)</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: So it's been over a year since I've been doing web development at a job. I learned the basics and that post I marked as the answer has defnitely been helpful. But now, I feel like the best way to learn ANYTHING in terms of making a web is to throw your ideas all into your head and then google to understand what tools you can look for and use to materialize those ideas. For example, my post was about "web design and interaction." As a web developer, that's not my job so obviously something like twitter bootstrap helps. But there's also other front-end plugins and tools, it's helped me just to google and look them up to find what I want done. I feel like that's the best way to approach "learning this material"</p>
