Sorry, my mistook.

I was referring to the chap above.

His tutorials are indeed the dogs bollocks.

(this means good to anyone unfamiliar with Brit terminology)

What about the tutorials on this very site?

I started out with a wysiwyg and then went through JP's tutorials.

They're a VERY quick way to learn the basics. You could be sticking together basic(ish) sites in three days.

Now you know how to do it all, take a look at my newbie design tips site at http://clik.to/somewhere and you may get some *good* design ideas (I hope so, at least)

A note to <BizTwang>.

How wierd it is - I learn exactly the same way as you. View Source, then I bought those same two books and found them quite useful.

<BizTwang>...'Surf' the web and 'view source' of sites that interest you. Analyze the design and code.
...I recommend two very 'friendly' books (about $20.00 each)...from the Visual Quickstart Guide series:"HTML 4.0 for the World Wide Web" (also 3.2) by Elizabeth Castro and "Javascript for the WWW" by Tom Negrino and Dori Smith.
(Don't confuse Javascript with Java). Eventually you'll want to learn CSS (cascading style sheets), and DHTML (dynamic html).
FTP? Ask your internet service provider for help, the will know your exact URL (address) of your homepage (usually \index.html.
Download a free (careware) HTML editor called ARACHNOPHILIA 3.9 from www.arachnoid.com It makes coding easy and has great help files and built in FTP to help update your site.
Check out tutorials at CNET's http://www.builder.com or http://webreference.com/dev
...Good Luck!</BizTwang>

I learned the languages in the following order...
HTML, C, Javascript, Perl, CGI, PHP, ASP, Java. Learning Javascript as a first programming language is quite a good choice, if you're not comfortable with it due to its object based nature, you can try some procedural languages such as C, BASIC, or even Pascal. All of them are old languages but that's what undergraduates are studying. Don't go for Perl as your first programming language... Its cryptic and not so good for a beginner. PHP is very easy to learn but there aren't a lot of good documentation for it.
Learning programming languages itself is not enough, you need to learn more on software design, data structures, algorithm designs, database integration etc.
Just my 2 cents.
