Hello,
This is your perfect starting point: W3Schools HTML Tutorial
It will give you a really good idea of how to get started with the basics of web programming.

You could first look at W3Schools website to learn some html skills, they have good resources for starting html.

+1, I don't think this deserves negative rep.

Anything that recommends W3Schools deserves negative rep. It's a dangerous site, the HTML tutorial is rubbish, but if people start thinking good things about it, they might just trust it to learn PHP from there too … and their PHP tutorial is an exercise in seeing how many SQL Injection Vulnerabilities it is possible to squeeze into one tutorial.

The link above is a good place to start, you may want a text editor too, check out Crimson Editor

See, I can perfectly accept that. Almost any down-vote is ok if it has some sort of explanation. Just drive-by down-voting does no good though, we'll never realize how W3Schools has bad tutorials. (Being constructive ftw.)

Sorry I used W3Schools years ago for starting on the basics. I've never used it for learning how to use php or asp etc... However, Webmonkey and SitePoint are also very useful resources

Opera provide a genuinely good guide to authoring webpages, written by some of the best people in the industry, (unlike W3Schools who have a decade old thing, covered with errors and adverts (and huge security holes if we expand the scope to their efforts to teach PHP), who survive based on a reputation gained a decade ago when they were the best around (which says more about the competition then them) and leeched off the W3C who have a similar name but no other connection to W3Schools).

Add to your question:
* information about operating system You have installed on your computer (Windows, Linux, etc.)
* what browser you're using (ie, firefox, etc.)

-1: Hopbit, this should have been posted as a comment to the question. Don't take it hard, a downvote is irrelevant - keep participating! :)

I don’t think it would have been very relevant as a comment though. If you’re going to be working with HTML, you’re going to have to start using more than one browser.

@Alohci - DOH! My bad. And here I was, all happy that I was contributing constructively.

HTML: The Definitive Guide (5th Edition) is a good comprehensive guide to HTML 4.
Dive into HTML5 does a great job of going over the new HTML5 features, once you know HTML 4. (It’s not complete yet, but neither’s HTML5.)
I’d recommend reading these two in that order.

Dive into HTML5 is not in the least bit comprehensive when it comes to HTML. It is designed to introduce the new features of HTML5 (not the basics) and isn't finished yet!
David Dorward
2010-06-08 10:54:39
I think it’s about the best guide to HTML5 available now, assuming you already know HTML 4. I didn’t make it clear enough you should read both though, cheers.

There are many books and guides. To start play around with:
<html>
<head>
<title>This is in the title bar</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<h1>Text Title</h1>
<br>
<p><font face="arial" size="2" color="#ffffff">
this is where you can write a paragraph</font></p>
</body>
</html>

Don't start with an invalid document that uses presentational junk that was deprecated over a decade ago and abuses line breaks as margins.

I was going to post w3schools, since that's where I started learning, but it seems like a big no-no and David Dorward's Opera link is great. So, some general tips:
- When building a site, make a plan and refer to it - obviously this won't be necessary for starting out or smaller sites, but it's always worth doing for anything beyond this.
- Try not to use tables for layout - it seems like a good idea at the time, but div tags should be used; only use tables for things that you'd put in a table in a word processor (eg Microsoft Word) - future you will thank you.
- Don't use Word for html - it adds loads of rubbish to the code - try Notepad++ / Notepad2 / something with syntax highlighting
- Don't develop in Internet Explorer - build a site in Firefox with the Firebug add-on, then worry about the problems in Internet Explorer later (because there will always be some)
I wish past me knew this when I started.
