Where to learn from scratch?

Hi All,

Where would be the best place to start learning about building websites?

I have coding experience in MATLAB and vba but never done anything website related.

Thanks.

Codecademy (https://www.codecademy.com/) is a good place to start - HTML & CSS, JavaScript, jQuery (in that order) will give you a decent grounding.

From there, you can move onto other topics, but that should be enough to get you going.

Codecademy is free, but if you are looking at paid for options, I've had a good experience with both Treehouse (https://teamtreehouse.com/) and Lynda.com

I'd also recommend a series of YouTube lessons from mmtuts on HTML and PHP.

Have a look at source code, learn the structure. Need to learn a few languages these days, like html, css, js and maybe some scripting languages if doing backend stuff.

How about Udemy?

I hate learning from videos. Subscribe to Safari Books Online (despite the name they also offer video tutorials as well from various sources). They normally have a good selection of books on just about any subject and when you are finished with it you can just unsubscribe.
