 |
|
I used some website back in high school, that taught you HTML from basic to advance but I can't recall what it was called. Totally sucks.
I need to review some material, do you guys know any websites?
Hopefully, someone will post the website I am thinking about. |

You could start from http://www.w3.org. IIRC there are some tutorials lurking there.

What about htmlgoodies.com. It's a pretty good site.

The w3schools site isn't valid XHTML?
Guess they had to screw up somewhere...

HTML is handy to know for being able to quickly fix layout issues. I still teach HTML to my editors for managing formatting glitches (when a WYSIWYG interface has placed the off tag in the wrong place for example), but building sites from scratch with HTML is very last century.
I'd recommend learning about Drupal if you want to build serious websites for $$. It's a free open source community platform and is excellent. I use it in my own company and it's currently a big secret in the web building world:

I agree...learning how to use open source content management systems can save you a lot of time for the kinds of sites that about 90% of people seem to want these days.
Drupal, as mentioned, is pretty good. Joomla / Mambo is another.
Also, Moodle is good for education based sites.
And WordPress is good for blogs, but also with the right template it works well for a lot of other classes of sites (e-zines, band sites, promotional sites, news sites, etc, probably because most of them are really just special cases of blogs).
And of course you have ZenCart and osCommerce for e-commerce sites.
That said, once you learn basic HTML, you might want to decide to refine programming (server side scripting languages such as PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby and / or server side application stacks such as Java, .NET would be good to pick up, as well as JavaScript for client side scripting), and / or design (XHTML, CSS, as well as tools of the trade such as Photoshop, Flash, etc) would be a good idea as well as this will give you the flexibility to be much more creative with your web development. |
