Hi Everyone!!

I've just started to learn some really basic HTML coding. In my searches for some help and instruction on getting the basics I ran across this little gem of a website for people looking for code, etc...

http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp

It also has several other Programming languages with tutorials, etc.

Thought I'd share this, cause I've found it pretty handy.

That's a good site. I'm not a programmer, but they have simple, easy to follow tutorials on tons of different things. I remember I was looking up basic php the last time I was there... They also have a ton of other tuturials about graphic design and other things.

Hi Jbolte,
I have checked that site and it’s really great. Along with basic HTML they have many more tutorials, and it is in a simply accessible and very easy format.

Hey Amritacognosy,

Yeah I use this often. I really like the tutorials they have, they really give you some hands-on practice which is how I learn the best. I'm fairly new in IM'ing so I'll be using this site for some time to learn the different languages used, etc.

Take Care,

Jason

jbolte1976, w3schools.com is a great site to use for web programming reference. I am a web developer for a living and I use it once in awhile. Another site you might want to check out is DevGuru Home. I use this site for javascript reference. As you get more into web programming, you will realize javascript is as essential a language to learn as HTML is. I have over ten books in my cubicle and funny thing is I almost never look at them - there really is a lot of information on the web.

For basic html and css coding, I recommend HTML Goodies. ( I am in no way related to their site ) Their tutorials are how I taught myself to create webpages when I was 14. Wow, it took me a minute actually think about how far back that way

I am a beginner in the field of programming. Very useful post for persons like me. I like the tutorials provided in the site. I have started following the one on HTML.

w3schools is the best site for beginners in any programming languages from scripting to html, webdesigning, multimedia and others. It has always helped me in difficult situations when I get stuck in my coding. jbolte1976 has done a good job in sharing this link with other members. Thank you for your share.

hey buddy..
I've learned HTML,CSS & javascript from W3Schools Online Web Tutorials website when I wasn't knowing anything about programming language like C,C++,etc..

And I must say, this is site teaches you the basics thoroughly with some great examples in its editor..It is very good for newbies..
I recommend everyone who want to learn various web designing languages free and in simple way should visit w3schools.com website.

Now, I'm learning the basics of ADO & PHP from this site

Admin · 03-03-2010, 09:33 AM

Yeah, me too Shek. That site has the most accurate information on the web as far as I am concerned.

Today while surfing I found another interesting websites which teaches us only HTML & CSS

So you need not search the in long list of tutorials for learning HTML & CSS from now

The site is Learn HTML and CSS - Use our free tutorials - Build your own website | HTML.net

What is special about this new site ?
You can learn HTML & CSS in 12 different languages (including English). So that is an added advantage, if somebody doesn't understand or know English then they can learn HTML & CSS in different languages..
Also,we like reading something in our mother tongue(native language) & we understand the it much better

hope this is link will be helpful to many...
