This year my goal is to learn html. I need to start at the basics and move myself up. :yes: What is a great html learning tutorial?
 
it should take only less than a month. Learning HTML with w3schools is really easy

To learn the HTML from w3schools.com should only take you a few days.. it took me like three days of going home after school and learning. (this is from starting out with no knowledge of websites and/or programming). This should not take you a month to learn what w3schools.com has to say - they will give you the fundamentals you will be spending years to optimize your coding and learning proper techniques and moving up to xHTML and such.

Plus, if your going to be designing websites, have fun, im on year three now and know (x)HTML/CSS/PHP/MySQL (still learning some new stuff)/some JavaScript, and it sucks because I still need to learn ASP.NET - though that shouldn't be hard since I know Java already and other programming languages of that sort.
 
The best way to learn HTML is

Take one template and start coding it.
When you face any problem use your best friend(Google)

That's what i did and now i become a very good HTML CSS Coder.
 
Don't rush into it, learn bits at a time, practice those bits, make sure you know what you are doing then move on, and keep refreshing your mind every new piece you learn, no point rushing in, thinking you have got it then forgetting it.
 
No lie, but the best coding tutorials personally are from tizag.com
 
I never used tutorials I just looked at website templates and how they where coded and figured it out like that, thats really how I learn.

Which is a horrible way to learn to code because you probably have no idea what half of that code means, or actually does - since you learned from a template (which could have been horribly made) and tried to figure it out.

It is good to look at templates to learn portions of what they had accomplish, though to teach yourself an entire language from a pre-built thing is a horrible idea. Plus you won't be able to do that if your trying to learn ASP.NET or PHP/MySQL down the road and stuff; so you might want to change your strategy.

Please do not assume things, I know what all the code I use means, if I did not understand things I looked it up, I find this my best way to learn, again please do not assume things about me.

Thanks!
 
what raymond said^

I guess the best advice I can give to eXtreme would be to yes, use W3Schools, that is the best. And also try and remember even the simplest tags, if you don't, you could forget them later on like me. For awhile i was always forgetting things, so if you start forgetting things, you are going too fast and should slow down a bit and learn the tags better. Before i started, i thought that it was going to be hard to memorize all those tags, but once i got going it got real easy, and now i just type it and don't even realize what i am typing it has become such a habit.
 
Simply put, I think you should look through a tutorial on w3schools.com and try it out yourself. Even if you think you have it memorized, still put it into use on a simple test project. 🙂
