w3schools.com, good tutoring site, and free.

 

Yeah don't pay for an ebook, maybe a html for dummies book, but nothing more becuase html is to simmmple! http://w3schools.com, http://pixel2life.com, and go to http://freewebs.com create an account and use the "advanced/html" account type, you have free hosting and can edit your site.

 

i would suggest w3c schools for you.. apart from the tutorials there are regular tests as well
and questions to practise as well!

 

As said previously, w3c schools is a good website to learn from (Google it). Additionally, I would recommend HTML, XHTML and CSS 6th ed by Elizabeth Castro. It's a pretty good book, but practically all of w3c schools cover all of the book.

 

freeBooks are better than eBooks!
NCDesign - HTML Design Guide
CSS Basics

 

invest some money to buy some real books, you'll save much time

 

Agreed. Buy a few books on just HTML. There are many out there they will definitely help you. HTML is simple to pick up once you start understanding the syntax (the structure).

Sit around with a cup of coffee and just slowly go through it. You will be amazed how fast you will learn it. Though I do suggest using a keyboard+mouse if you're on a laptop...using a touchpad just takes to long!

Hi...
In my case, practice by creating website from free template and learn from here http://htmlplayground.com/

 

Don't waste money on an ebook. w3c schools has the same information and periodically quizzes you to make sure you are doing everything right. I agree with what some others have said, get free hosting and build a website using the HTML that you learn. You'll master it in no time!

 

I recommend the HTML-Kit (Free) Editor (also a great learning tool) for producing Professional quality, valid, HTML (and later XHTML/CSS/PHP/JS/RDF).

First off... can I ask you why do you 'need' or want to learn HTML?

I've been designing sites for years now and I don't know much
about HTML and still I design great looking, professional sites.

Chances are if you can use WORD then you can design websites
using HTML editors.

Unless you 'really' want to or 'need' to learn HTML don't spend
too much time on this. Just grab a HTML editor like FrontPage
or a free HTML editor like:

...and you'll be designing sites in no time!

Best of luck.

Please be sure to use validated Markup and CSS.

Validation enhances interoperability -- correct rendering in all user agents. Pages can fail validation and still display & function pretty much as expected in graphical Browsers anyway due to their (although often erratically and unreliably) built-in Markup discrepancy compensation which commercial purveyors have built into their Browsers. However, validation does catch many easily corrected Markup errors and the resultant code is consequently much easier to maintain or change. Pages containing invalid Markup may not display or function correctly in screen Readers, BRAILLE interpreters and Textual Browsers or when incorporated into other applications. Valid and well formed Markup also bespeaks careful craftsmanship and that appeals to many web authors.

I also suggest it is best to use a strict Doctype DTD -- that insures correct rendering in future Browser updates (avoiding deprecated elements and attributes)

 

learn the google-way

 

tizag.com

Tizag is a good place to learn for beginner to intermediate programming.

 

let google be your best friend..simply type in "html tutorials" ....you'l be suprised at the amount of FREE info that is available

 

I disagree. Even as a creative designer, I felt HTML was a needed thing. Everyone who contemplates designing a website or modifying certain aspects, needs to know HTML. It's one of the coding languages that can be taught to everyone.

Sure, you need to find what works but when there is something that isn't working, you're going to be questioning to yourself "Why?", and then everything can be down hill from there.

Ask any experienced web developer, the ability to pick apart simple HTML code is a must even with many WYSIWYG's available today.

Don't take my word for it, ask many forums, many people, they will give you the same response. People who wish to create websites, need to have an IDEA of what they are doing, I'm not saying you need to learn PHP and go full scale with a database... just the basics

I can only hope my opinion helps you in your web journey.
