Hi all,

Need some help from you html, xhtml, css. Etc users. I am currently studying a ccna; computer tech degree (just finished my first year). When I go back in September I will be doing Web Development.

Unfortunately apart from designing some pages in Photoshop and then using designer mode in Dreamweaver I have never looked at html, I will need to no xhtml and css for the module and I really don’t want to go in there as a complete noob.

So really all I am looking for is some kind sole to point me in the right direction as to where to start so I can read up over the summer. Obviously I don’t want someone to show me but any useful guides, links would be very helpful so I can get the ball or should I say the cogs turning.

I have just purchased Studio 8 so have all the necessary programs, cheers for any info help put forward.

I finished a Degree in Computing back in 2004, this little lot on my website kept me in good stead.

BTW i can put BSc after my name and it doesn't get the girls :( :rolleyes:

http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp has to be the place to start however its got me through the 1st 2 years of my degree
 
There's nothing wrong with w3schools!

There are better tutorials available, but w3schools ceratinaly isn't bad
 
My other link ok? its a few years old now and I haven't checked it for dead links. I know the books bit has stopped working/missing a page.
 
W3Schools is a hypocritical site with regard to web standards and teaches bad practice, as well as being filled with MS-based ads. It can be suitable as a reference, but nothing more. There are FAR better sites to use...

I tend to find things on W3 to be IE-slanted as a warning.
