I learned HTML myself from books that are available in the market... and the best I found is The complete Reference to HTML though you need to know the basics from other books... you can get the whole story of HTML tags in the book...Also you need to learn JavaScript or VBScript for dynamic Effects....For that you can refer Mastering JavaScript or Jscript....thats all you need to learn from client side scripting and about server side scripting you need to learn PHPand there are threads about PHP

I learned HTML in college, I started to get my degree in Computer Information Systems, with a certificate in Webdesign. I ended up not finishing, but I learned HTML from there.

I've been getting periodic injections of HTML code from my colleagues, who apparently find it fun to build these websites you all seem so obsessed with having. :PI'm out of date as well. It turns out I've been away from HTML for too long, and have forgotten most of it every time I go to a colleague's website.

I am self taught in html, javascript, and learning cgi. I don't necessarily like scripting, or even design. What I enjoy is the conception most. How to accomplish the desired feat and what scripts are necessary to do so.I use AceHTMLPro 5 for most of my design work.

Like most of you here, I am self taught. I remember how amazing html coding was to me back in 1994/95. Since then, I have learned what I need via the web and through examining pages source code (which I still do to this day). In my windows days I used dreamweaver to code pages. Since moving to linux, I have adapted to using quanta. Quanta is not a WYSIWYG development tool. It's more a site management tool. I have found that this has caused me to become a much better html coder (not that I'm all that good). I now really appreciate the direct control over the code and can see a simplistic beauty in handcoded pages.As with anything, when you have to 'learn' how to do something you develop a much greater understanding as opposed to using a WYSIWYG tool. Another reason why I continue to enjoy working on my *nix machines.cheershashbang

Another that is self tuaght, well I tuaght myself the basics and decided I liked what I could do with that and so I started into a class in my highschool days were they tuaght me little more. After this I flew off the handle looking up tutorials on the subject until I came to learn what I know now. Now that I am fairly fluent in HTML I have started to branch out into PHP, CSS, Java ect. When I was still in the basics I used dreamweaver to help me get the more complex parts yet I find now that I can do things in notepad that dreamweaver could not do. But as it is said most people can learn to do HTML. What makes a great site is the Graphics and layout. I think somebody already said that in this posts though..

I am self taught to some extent. It's been awhile since I've really got into coding up a site. Only coded up a couple of sites, but I'd rather be doing php. Everything that I'm interested involves forums, and html just doesn't it cut it in that department. Anyways I also bought a book.

Elizabeth Castro - HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide

Maybe you all have stumbled across this book. I think it makes a very nice reference if you ever get confused or stumble across something in html that you just quite don't understand. I still consider myself a noobie to html, because I don't know what is capable with it. I understand most of it, but sometimes it takes me awhile to grasp the idea of what I'm doing. I think maybe that's more of a design problem.

yeah, dreamweaver is the best! I also have flash. So i can combine both together and create something cool. dreamweaver just dont make your source code so good. That's why im using the notepad too. I think there are a lot of programs out there...but use dreamweaver, thats a good program!!

I learned HTML from a book while waiting for a flight in some random city. Read the entire "HTML for Idiots" book. Yes, it was that long of a wait.Except that since I didn't have anything to practice on, I forgot most of it by the time I got to a computer. I then managed to scribble out my first webpage, which was "snazzy" for the day with blinking text and whatnot. Sure, it was hip for being 1996.Since then I stopped coding in HTML and stuck with programs that do it for me. However, for this one project I'm working on I'm sticking with pure code, which is seeming to work quite well. Sure, everything is different, but hey, <img src=""></img> is still the same. That's all I care about.

I just browse and look at source code then apply what I see immediately and repeat a couple of times till I know what is going on. Never had any formal training. I think Google is one of the best things that happened to informal education.
