Okay so I am fairly experienced with html, But would like to go further in learning CSS and then would like to learn some java so that I can make the best possible websites. Are there any good tutorials or articles that teach these topics well enough that I would actually understand them.


Thanks for all the help

I would learn HTML 5 as it will replace a lot of what javascript and flash and other web technologies do, and it is an open standard. Meaning it should fully work on any browser on any web appliance.

Yes CSS is a great tool for designing when used with html.
Another great scripting language (basically javascript) is jQuery.
When used with CSS and html, it can produce amazing stuff like interactive navigation bars and menus. Starting to use it myself, and got great results from it. W3schools has the tutorials if interested.

JQuery isn't a substitute for server side languages like PHP and the like. It simplifies a lot of front end javascript writing though.

Learn Python and use Django

https://www.djangoproject.com/

Python is very powerful, flexible, and scalable and you can write your whole back end in it. Plus python runs on every single platform so if you developer client side web based apps you can plug them right in.

Plus, to be honest, Python is a pretty simple language.

Hi bengal85

Although w3schools can be good, if you want to learn web coding properly i would avoid it, as although they mean well, the content is not always correct or updated fast enough.

Issues with the site as presented at this website:

http://w3fools.com/

They recommend these as better sources to learn from:

http://htmldog.com/
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/1-introduction-to-the-web-standards-cur/
http://code.google.com/edu/submissions/html-css-javascript/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs

Good luck :D if you need anymore help with coding, i post on another forum devoted to it:

I love Java, but don't make applets with it.
I just Googled Java tutorials xD
Also I had previous experience in programming so it was easy to pick up, I would recommend looking at VB.NET if you are a complete beginner because it is a very good base language to start OOP with.
