Replying to Where Did You Learn Html?

MS frontpage? honestly, i still find it difficult to manipulate html codes.
i just learned from geocites.

You have to practice a lot. One thing that makes FontPage 2000 great is that there are three tabs: Normal (a WYSIWYG-esque interface), HTML, and Preview. Most of the main work I do in Normal, where you can build a site like you would build a document in Word. Then I look at the result in Preview, and if it doesn't work I inspect the code in HTML. It's instant gratification, unlike manually figuring out the HTML in Wordpad.

My first experiences with HTML were from tutorials and free hosting like freeservers or geocities. That was the easiest way. My pages looked like crap but at the time I didn't care. Now I use XHTML Strict and CSS in all my pages to make them 100% available to everybody.

My first lesson on html was from the web itself... i used to disect the pages and see what they are made up of...
and lo I was desiging them myself one day...

I've been learning HTML for over 5 years now. It's a constant learning process for me, because I use it in spurts and for periods of time I don't need to know it. Anyway, I've learnt HTML from various websites and classes. I also have a copy of Microsoft FrontPage 2000, which is a big part of my learning. Basically, when I want to try new things I look up tags from HTML sites and try them in FrontPage.  Also, I once took a course on using Macromedia Dreamweaver, but I admit I like FrontPage better than Dreamweaver. I found that for me FrontPage utilizes HTML to form what you command it to. Dreamweaver manipulates HTML to get what you want.

hmm, well I personally learned html/java/php/etc through free online templates you get from geocities, freewebs, etc. Then I continued with actual websites to get the finer points mastered. I'm not really into coding as i am designing though =P

AMAZING! i love your template! do you do your own designs? how?

Welll, I myself did not use this, but I advise it for people learning HTML. I've had a quick flick through it, its a great book. Try "HTML for 4 DUMMIES!" or its sometimes known as just "HTML 4 DUMMIES!". Its a great book, really useful and packed with all the basics and extras, so I say you should get that then just move onto more things, its at most libraries.

Brian, a patch recently came out for dreamweaver to fix the speed issue.  That being said, dreamweaver isn't for creating a webpage, but instead creating and manageing an entire sight, with lots of interconnected pages and such.  If all you are doing is creating a small site with a few pages and nothing fancy going on, then its overkill.

Ah, yes. You're right. I should have mentioned that. For my purposes, Dreamweaver is way too much, but yes, if you were using it to manage an entire website, it has it's place. I like the integrated FTP, thats very nice. For my small website, it's not worth starting up the whole application just so I can do a little tweaking to my site. Thanks for the clarification there, Frog.
