Well, learning it really does not take that long. (Took me a few hours of experimenting to get the basic tags down) Actually getting good at it takes far, far longer. There's always going to be new stuff to learn, so the cycle is rather endless. I've found the w3school''s html tutorial to be good (link: http://www.w3schools.com/html/). However, I think the best thing you could do is pick up a book, because those are really more comprehensive than anything you can find online.

 

Afterwards, you don't really need books. Just set a goal in mind and start creating a site. Eventually, you'll reach problems along the way and you'll have to look around to find answers to. There, you've just added to the experience factor. :-)

 

Good luck!

same with me, it didnt take too long to learn it but actually learning to use it good took ages and learning the more advanced like hidden things.html isnt that brilliant by the way. it cant do everything like i no u think it can.

Good question, it is a bit hard to remember that actually, it has been quite a few years.Though I would honestly say I learnt to use it quite quickly, maybe a few days, and I mean use it reasonably well.But that was coming from a background of already scripting and programming in general, so it was much easier to grasp it, even if it is a bit different.

It didn't take me long to know the basics, it did take a bit longer to get a bit more advanced (as in using style="" which is basicaly using CSS in HTML) but it takes me a lot less time to forget it . So I constantly have to refresh my memory to remember all the HTML codes and tags and etc ...

at the start of last year, i started getting more advanced in html.about half way through the year, i like forgot most stuff except the basics.i started learning it again and now im really good at it. i also learnt css while i was at it.ive never forgotten it since

I took me a few weeks to learn it properly. After that I started learning javascript and css, then php.

I only needed a few minutes to understand basic html tags (html, head, title, body).But table, tr, td, th and div made me a bit headache for next few hours. And one next day I studied tag's attributes and it really impressed me, so I went to the next step : CSS. And the journey is still going on until now...

Yeah even now, some tags can be an absolute pain under certain circumstances, especially when you bring CSS into the mix.

I frequently use a variety of CSS and HTML tags/selectors, so I remember at least 75% of the CSS and almost 100% of HTML elements (not attributes though). I also work with other languages such as PHP, MySQL, XML, XSLT and at rare occasions SVG. I am getting better at remembering stuff from PHP/MySQL, as for XML, you invent your own tags.XHTML is a bit different from HTML, mostly syntax but other stuff too. I work in XHTML mostly, but I mustn't forget Internet Explorer

I learned how to use html using a site I believe called davesite.com. It was very helpful, and although I'm still not very good at it, I'm glad I know how to make some basic web pages. I have to admit thought that I use frontpage and dreamweaver to create webpages. If I'm stuck on a computer without either of those two programs installed, I use html coding in notepad. But to answer your question, it took me about 5 days of playing around to become familiar with html. Best, Trinifawk

I used davesite.com also and a book about HTML. I believe I learned the basics in 1 day and Style (CSS) the next day. It is really very easy to learn and is just a little more advanced then BBCode that is found on forums. When I was learning (and still today) I use web hosts that automatically update the web (in other words I don't need to use notepad, save then upload). I do it this way because trial and error is always the best way to program (at least in my opinion). I guess that is just because I am not a very good programmer. In a few years I wouldn't be surprised if HTML became a basic skill like typing. That assumes that the Internet is still popular then.Thanks,Sparkx

Learning is basically how much you want to know about HTML. Learning and applying the knowledge is the key. If you know a lot about HTML like many years and you don't do anything with it, then it really wouldn't matter. Once you learn the basics, it is basically up to you what you want to do with it. It's like learning basic code and comparing it to how it fits in scripting. Once you learn how bold is used, you would be able to set to anything. Well, that was a really, shabby example, but still one no less. Everything has img src. It is a basic HTML command, but what you plan to do with it will be how much you know. Making a page with a picture linked is a nice basic concept. Creating CSS styles and starting to add scripting is a bit more advanced... but it is all coding and SOMETIMES you can find a few pieces of info over the net to get ideas together.... but I also think that getting a book and familiarizing yourself with coding should help. The net is a nice useful tool, but that's about all it is... a huge vast reference.Good luck and have fun learning it, so it will be that much enjoyable watching your creations come to life.- skedad -

The basics I learned many years ago from looking at an old book, called the Internet Bible. It covered your simple images, frames, and links, and a little of tables but nothing of css (it was a very old book). More recently, around early 2007 I started to get serious and run my own website and forum. Strangely enough, I learnt PHP far quicker than html, despite what people say that html must be known to do good PHP. I suppose that was because of my experiance in Visual basic 6. Anyways, with PHP I rapidly learnt HTML, mostly out of necessity. First thing I used for making, say, sidebars was an Iframe. After that I started using invisible tables. Only recently did I phase that out of my coding techniques and started using DIVs and CSS.
