where did you learn html from?

Recommended Posts

I first started using html on the original Nintendo NSider Forums. I was very new to the internet overall, and could barely handle <img> tags. :P Over time I became interested in making websites, so I Googled 'html tutorials' and found about 5 different websites from which I learned html in about 2 months. Every now and then if I need to tone my skills I'll still use some of them for reference, and I'm ever so grateful for those websites' existences, since otherwise I would probably not be posting this in order to gain some hosting credits for my site. :P

I started in neopets lol, making banners and such. Then from there I self taught my self from google. I've only taken one class, but it was pretty much just a review (it was REALLY basic HTML though). I'm still learning more though. =]

i learned the hard way, i tought my self html from what i saw other people do. so i would just go to a page and look at the source and try to figure out what did what. and it took for ever. and i'm still learning, for some reason i have trouble with the table tags but i'm getting there.

i started with the internet.. i would suck at myspace.. but then i got into it, and started memorizing codes & what not.. [& i run myspace sites & fansites for tawny heath, chantelle paige etc] and by doing this became [i like to think] amazing on photoshop. so i decided, to go worldwide.. and put it on the internet.. thats when i learned to use adobe's image ready.. where you can code web templates [ the links as imagemaps] & started tweaking styleshets, adding & removing codes [& memmorizing them] to learn more (: haha

 

it all began with myspace XD

I started making websites with a tool on Netscape, I forget what it's called. Then I just randomly searched 'learn how to make websites' on Google and learned from the sites that came up.

aww... someone brought back a 4-year-old topic... :)

I first just got randomly really interested in HTML... back then, I could make unnecessarily simple websites... I learned by viewing source of websites and learning what each tag did...

Then, I found some very old and seriously outdated HTML tutorial books covered in dust in underneath the stairs... I started reading them, they didn't really teach me any new tags, just expanded on what the tags could do and stuff...

I then found W3Schools (URL is : http://www.w3schools.com/ for those that don't know) I first, learned HTML 4.01 Transitional, ONLY... Then I started being curious and clicked on "XHTML", after I read the description, I started to learn XHTML 1.0 Transitional... I learned it for a while until I joined Xisto and saw a post made by "jlhaslip" that said something about XHTML 1.0 Strict being the best language to learn, then i decided to check it out...

At first, I didn't like XHTML 1.0 Strict because there was alot of things I couldn't do that I got used to doing (i.e. the target="_blank" tags), but then I persisted and eventually got the hang of it...

I'm now trying to incorporate XHTML 1.1 native code into my website... currently my website validates as valid XHTML 1.1 but with a XML encoding warning...

I learned from http://www.htmlgoodies.com/; the site has a good set of primers on HTML and also a variety of information about more advanced topics, such as JavaScript and CGI. He also discusses web design and includes a sample chapter from his web design book. This is often just as important as learning HTML...if you're going to take the time to code a site, you should at least make it look good.It's been awhile since I've been to the site, but I'm sure more info has been added. The best to learn though, is by doing. Be sure to practice what you learn. It also helps to keep documentation handy, especially with all the new web standards and XHTML. http://www.w3schools.com/ has good information on the latter.

I have been interested in programming all my life, when i want to learn a new language, i buy a couple of books about it, and then look up anything i still want to know on the web.The site i used a lot for HTML learning was w3schools.com which was quite useful, but i find books can be a lot more useful.learning HTML was just like learning any other programing language, just really easy!

I wanted to know html since I can remember in my time it was like wow internet, so I started to search for the simpliest of websites, download the sourcecode and deleting or adding a number here and there and see what happens, then search for some tutorials and that was all....as yo can guess im no pro but I can defend myself....If I buy this host someone is helping me out with the code.
