Question

Hi everybody!

I would like to know what are you favorite sites that you have used or currently use to learn HTML and DHTML. I have a friend who wants to learn HTML, and I would like to point him in the right direction.

Any advice is greatly appreciated,
Manuel

The best and most basic HTML guides I've found, with examples, are at http://www.webmonkey.com

For reference and more advanced ideas, http://www.hwg.org and http://www.w3c.org

Hi Manuel ... http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com/ ... possibly the section on the left "primers - the basics" to begin with.

of course, the best way to learn it is to USE it! my fave (free too!) editor is EvrSoft's Firstpage 2000. Grab it @

Not to down on editors/compilers, they have a purpose, but to truly learn, I always recommend something Notepad-ish. Once you've gotten the basics down and you're looking for something to do the grunt work of your pages, then editors are fine. Still, though, I haven't seen an editor yet, even those that run 100 bucks plus, that produce clean usable code that you can upload to a site immediately. You still have to go back and clean things up manually.

If you learn by WYSIWYG editors, you won't know how to clean up or otherwise debug your pages. Learn the hard way, then use the easy way when applicable.

I like to use Dreamweaver for tables and such, but nothing gets uploaded until it's been scanned by a very picky eye in Notepad.
