Would anybody know how to code this photoshop layout or know of any tutorials that could help me code this?

start with http://www.slicingguide.com (go through all the lesson)

basically, you will be saving your images individually in photoshop and then importing them 1 by 1 into (for example) Dreamweaver. Your layout could be coded with divs (one for the top banner and navigation), then 3 beside each other for your main content and 1 at the bottom (if you want some content at the bottom). Otherwise, you could build your layout with tables, have a row for the banner, another for the navigation, a third row split in 3 columns (within which you will have to insert new tables for your vertically extending content) and a fourth optional row if you plan on putting something at the bottom.

oh, and if everything i just wrote seems a little confusing, you will understand it much better (specifically the table design) after going through the Slicing Guide.

glad to hear it.

people do generally (or so I believe) start coding layouts with tables as it is simpler, and they later on move to using divs and much more css as they gain experience. It is a bit harder, but you can get some great results. Either way, there are plenty of tutorials on both coding methods so I think you have your work cut out for you. Good luck!

^ I beg, please dont code your layouts using the ps html.

Its awful and you won't understand it.

In dreamweaver create the layout using tables, as most newbies learning xhtml etc find it easier to create layouts using tables due to the visual aids dreamweaver gives.

Once you've got tables mastered learn how to make pure CSS webpages, although you will find it difficult at first, compared to tables the versatility you get using pure css in awesome.
