Learning HTML - The Process.

Question

So, as recommended, I did the W3Schools HTML and XML tutorials this weekend. I understand the basics.

Now should I look to get more depth in HTML, or go straight into learning CSS (and try to keep learning html at the same time)? If the first, where should I go for more advanced HTML tutorials?

Answer 1

Go for HTML (XHTML) and CSS togehter as the CSS is the proper way to stylize view of your XHTML data.

I do recommend reading the excellent book: Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML

Answer 2

if "WEB front-end development" like a person
the "HTML" makes he's "skeleton"
the "CSS" makes he's "surface"
the "JAVASCRIPT" makes he's "action"and"thought"

so you should learn them together

Answer 3

IMHO, i would say depends on your role, are you a designer or you're the coder guy who have to put functionality into the site?

if you're into the design, then i would say css and good website designs are necessary. in that case i would recommend don't make me think and erik meyers css book.

but if you're into the functional part of web site, i would say learn javascript then jquery. i can't tell you how many times jquery save my bacon.

and finally nothing beats putting theory into practice, so you can either search around and view source and learn from good sites, or start creating your own :)

Check out these resources, they are great.

You can also visit your favorite sites and View Source and see what they are doing. Try to recreate it in your own example.

Learn as much HTML as you can, because it will make you better at complicated layouts which will require a bit more advanced CSS.
