Books are still a great reference (because so much of the internet can be misleading). To start I would use the internet/web design "dummies" books if you have them where you live (e.g. "JavaScript for Dummies", "HTML for Dummies", etc.) . They are a great start. Then I would suggest the "Bible" books, for example, "ASP Bible", "CGI Bible". These are very complete references with plenty of code examples. You can also get them for the web debelopment programs you use, like "Dreamweaver Bible", etc..

Since, youve got all the links from jeeves (same thing i would give you) Ill give you some notes... Practice with a Blog at first; adding some simple html; then when you get the hang of it modify the code through an advanced customization using whatever codes you want to try out... Now if your ready to disect and compare and edit and apply codes, visit the ff. links...

Hi Busy

I did notice your link to EzHTML earlier and added it to my favourites without even looking at it,,,,,,naughty me! But have looked at it since, and looked at w3schools too, and they are both very informative indeed.

Actually, I was looking in another forum where there was some confusion re the difference between HTML and XHTML. If I can remember which forum, I can now enlighten them (I will actually give them you addy, cos I am sure that is what you would like).

Main thing is I am on my way, thanks to your very quick and informative responses, and for this I shall be eternally grateful.

Thanks again to both Jeeves and Busy, and now I am going to bed.
Bye for now

You don't need books, you have the internet ...

As well as the links given above, our little spot on the web can also be a great reference or stratching post if you get stuck on anything. Above all, it's all free too

Thank you Jeeves

I did mean to add on my original posting that if this was in the wrong area, I would be glad of redirection, because it could only improve the feedback I get.

But you have certainly given me plenty to read with those links, and I do sincerely thank you for that.

If I am still lost after all this, then I will look harder for the correct place to post my next questions,,,,,,,lol

Thanks again Jeeves

Hi mate,

Nice to have you with us! :wave:

That's quite a question! Good places to look at on a regular basis are:
http://www.alistapart.com
http://www.zeldman.com
http://www.cameronmoll.com
http://www.csszengarden.com

I believe a good starting point for learning XHTML etc is: http://www.w3schools.com. These kinds of questions should strictly be in another part of the forum, but we're not a strict bunch

Also if you're into specs (doesn't sound like you are but I'd be derelicting my duty to not mention this): http://www.w3.org
