Good Place to learn HTML ?

[Grantt]

I want to learn to write HTML. Anyone know any good places to learn online? Time isn't really a factor i have quite a lot a free time so would quite happily sit for hours on end if i enjoy it. Once i know HTML i would like to move on to CSS.

So yeah, i know their are loads of classes and stuff you can take online but have any of you had any experience with them, Or any methods you would suggest to learn?

Thanks, Grant.

Most people learn HTML without the aid for classes or even books.

Is great for CSS and many other things. Chris even does video tutorials for some stuff.

Whats the best language to start in nowadays?

Depends what you're looking to do really. If you want to be a front-end developer then, HTML, CSS, Javascript are essential. If you want to be a back-end dev, then ASP.Net/MSSQL or PHP/MySQL.

Cheers, Iam assuming by HTML you mean HTML5 nowadays?

 

[GravyMonster]

Yeah, although there isn't a great deal of difference between HTML4 and 5. It's mostly just semantics.


The fancy features HTML5 brings are mostly due to javascript.

Thanks for all the links guys. Going back over some stuff i done last night as i forgot a few bits haha. Has worked out a pretty good way to spend some time as i need to wait till tomorrow to pickup my delivery cause i was working when it came. Was gutted haha looking forward to installing some parts tomorrow

yeah as said above HTML5 is just a fancy way of bundling HTML, CSS3 & Javascript together under one heading.

From what I've seen so far there is a few minor changes to the HTML itself but most of the changes include the uses of javascript

Just started looking at knockout.js which seems to be quite a good framework. Otherwise jquery (if all you want is access to the DOM) or mootools if you intend to use JavaScript for a bit more Han animations / basic validation

The great thing about HTML5 / CSS / JScript is that it's cross platform so you can write something and it'll run on windows / osx / Linux / mobile devices....

That code academy looks a good place to start.

w3schools is a website I use often, even though I've been creating websites for many years now.

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

That's the HTML part of the website. It's simple, yet teaches you everything you need to know!

Friends don't let friends use W3Schools

Having read the first few parts of this website

Professional web developers do not recommend the use of WYSIWYG editors.

This is misleading

This is an oversimplification

Nitpicking to be sure,

localStorage and sessionStorage are called "methods", but they are not methods

It's a site for beginners, and whoever made that site has too much time on their hands

And he strongly disagrees with self-closing tags being good practise? I've read enough.... Now i'm heading to w3schools for some PHP code snippets

 

[GravyMonster]

It's a site for beginners

Exactly, which is why the misinformation they peddle as fact is even more damaging. Beginners won't know the difference.

This probably isn't the thread to have this discussion though
