Thread: How to learn HTML

You can say what you will but you'll always come back to books. The best way to learn html is to get one of these books and follow every example on the side on your computer. The problem with learning online is you'll get into the habit early of copy/pasting code, which later on won't be bad, but initially you're going to want to program the language in your brain just like you would on a study abroad for a foreign language. Here is a small list of the books i've found to be the most useful:

• Most of the SitePoint : New Articles, Fresh Thinking for Web Developers and Designers books, all done by people who make websites and don't just write books, they also have a great book on HTML emails which is a good place to start since its the most basic html.
• Five Simple Steps - Designing for the web (not an html book but you'll want to start by getting a background before jumping in)

Don't forget to be patient, some people write websites for a living and still don't know how it all works.

I was in the same situation and I downloaded some e-learn stuff (mainly videos - cause I like to see it better than reading :D I just typed into some sites' search bar "html" and I found many content. I finished one today, it could still tell me new things :D I would suggest you this way if you don't like reading looong e-books :)

here will be a good start:
HTML Tutorial

try doing simple examples at first.

then see the tutorial on CSS (stylesheet) and try to integrate them.

I will give you one advice, if you do (X)HTML do not forget to validate it at w3c.org. You can also validate your CSS there. There a lot of opinions about validation and how good is your (X)HTML, but if you want to continue developing websites and etc. you have to know the standards ie. web rfc.

HTML for dummies is also a nice start.
Don't let the "for dummies" part insult you, those "dummies" books can really be a useful start!

HTML is easy. should start with it i think. than you bring on the hard stuff like php etc.

http://www.w3schools.com/ should be good

you could also try getting an account on an e-learning tracker and then start searching. good luck!
