    I have been wanting to learn to program and website design for quite some time. However, I know very very little regarding to each of these. I was wondering if anyone could give me some direction in where I can learn from free sites or tutorials to start building some skills. I'm wanting to put all my extra time into this, so if anyone can give a few ideas of where to start it'd be deeply appreciated.

    Thanks

    Indeed w3schools rocks! What's also great is to buy some books about Dreamweaver and Fireworks. And still better: get some lessons! I've studied everything about webdesign in high school. If you learn it from the pro's, you're one step ahead.

    I saw many people programming PHP...I remember one who programmed about 100 rules, which could be decreased to about 50, that's a 50% decrease, and a 50% improvement of your loading time. This was the best experience for me. You can only learn efficient programming by doing and GETTING FEEDBACK.

    Learn it from the pro's, if not: buy some good books and STUDY! If not: just build websites on an amateur base. If not: don't ruin the market! :p

    Aside from learning the basics of HTML/and CSS I think an awesome way to learn is by following some high quality tutorials. I like the site http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/ as they will show you how to design and code an entire site from scratch.

    If you know nothing, you probably should go for a book but if you have little knowledge, learn from others experience is a best method.

    First, you need to learn html. The best way to learn is build it. You don't have to learn all things one together, perhaps start it with easy part.

    I am just beginning with scripting too and actually just finished my first site!
    I definitely recommend w3schools as well; make sure you study it hard and check out all of the examples. (The examples and the try it yourself editor are extremely helpful.

    Brothers it needs dedication and quite pain to learn css/xhtml if you really want to be a pro in it, however now its time for css3 and html 5.0 therefore visit www.perishablepress.com you can find good examples and a quick guide to start with.

    well if you are looking to learn from scratch then go with w3schools.com and some of the video tutorials of lynda.com, they are making some outstanding tutorials on every subject from html 5 to learning flash and other applications.

    Start learning Dreamweaver CS3 or if you are a chiphead then start from Dreamweaver CS5
    learn some of html not the complete coding of html from A to Z just make you self with what you see is what you get platfrom
    Learn complete CSS if you really wants to be a designer.
    learn PHP if you go for development.
