Just curious..How many of you actually took actual HTML and web designing classes? Or did you like me learned through books and trial and error?

I am self learned. I remember I read some article at a computer magazine few months after I got internet connection to my home (sometime in the mid-90's) and noticed that creating webpages isn't as hard as I assumed. I didn't really read lot of guides; when I saw a cool thing at some site (like frames, they used to be cool thing ) I checked the page source and Ctrl-C'd .

I am the same as Hercco,I'm mostly self-learned. I read a short tutorial and then looked at what other people were doing using the page source. I've never taken any courses or classess.

HTML is simply a way of putting information on a webpage and deciding how it should be placed and displayed, so, HTML can be learned quite easily with just a few tutorials.

I started learning about HTML at http://www.lissaexplains.com/ . After wanting to learn more, I found http://www.w3schools.com/ . After becoming obsessed with CSS and styling HTML with CSS, I went to sites such as http://www.htmldog.com/, http://simplebits.com/, http://alistapart.com/, and http://www.csszengarden.com/ .

I learned through trial and error and reading HTML tutorials on the net. If there are any good designs out there that I like, I check out their source code as well and study them.

I mostly self-learned. My very real 1st help was HtmlEd16 which had a help file including a code referrnce with examples.
Read here and there, and I have found a good tutorial site on HTML and more:

Well, my first year, I started with a WYSIWYG editor at homestead. No wait, I think it was the aol hometowns where I selected a layout and put in my information. And you know, I was gif crazy and had so many gifs all over my page. Then I moved on to angelfire and started coding without layouts by using frames. I saw some beautiful layouts and took a few years learning tables and css to design great layouts such as those. I get ideas at http://www.oswd.org/ and try to manipulate them.

I learned from internet tutorials, starting with http://www.lissaexplains.com/ and http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ because I really wanted to make a book club site, and didn't really want anything particularly fancy.

I was interested in HTML when I realized that the text autowrap in function of the width of the screen, and I found that very interesting and useful. I made my first page with WYSIWYG but soon I changed to the code. That with tools available offline, because I hadn't a internet connection. However, actually there is a tendence to not programming at all. People is using pre-made sites like phpNuke and Mambo, wich is good, because it saves a lot of work and we, who know about scripting, can modify and enhance the sites to satisfy our particular needs.

I learned by a combination of self-teaching and though the tutorials at http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ and have never used a WYSIYG editor. For new information now I usually use http://w3schools.org//?gtnjs=1 or just the regular W3C site.

When I was at high school I have a course of html but it was very basic, mainly I learn by myself with tutorials
