I want to learn HTML+CSS+Java script online. I was just wondering if i spend at least 3 hours a day studying it how quickly will i be able to write it fluently? I always think that web developers have knowledge of coding or they just try. Can anyone suggest me the best resource to learn all the things online. Thanks
Well, learning things online is good. I have learn lots of things their. w3schools com is the website where you will get the online tutorials
HTML is the simplest of languages. You could conceivable learn html well enough in a few days time to be able to use it fairly fluently. W3schools has all you need to learn HTML. CSS is fairly basic as well, but you will spend more time learning CSS than HTML. W3schools has plenty of information on CSS, but if you want to go deeper, I would highly recommend the missing manual book on CSS. Javascript is the hardest to learn of the three. It is more of a full fledged programming language which deals with things like variables, arrays, functions, boolean logic, and regular expressions. Unless you have prior programming experience, you will need to allow yourself plenty of time to grasp these concepts. I would recommend starting out learning the basics of javascript, and then learn how to use that basic knowledge with the popular libraries available such as jquery and ajax. Learning these thing is one thing and can be done in a relatively short amount of time, but to be able to use them fluently (without the constant need to refer back to manuals, etc) can take years. You basically have to have memorize all the semantics and nomenclature of the language before you can be fluent.
Start with HTML and learn the basics. When you have those down move on to CSS and finally after that start working on some JavaScript. You can find tons of free resources including W3C schools. However, the best content, in my opinion, is O'Reilley books.
W3 Schools (w3schools.com) is a very helpful site to learn. The best way to learn it is not by studying 3 hours a day, but by putting it to practical use and get experience every time you build a site. That's what I did... I read the html basics from w3, then I continued to build websites, googleing an issue if I didn't know how to do something.
You might want to take a look at my ebook called "Web design in 7 days". It is number 1 ebook on download.com and it has been downloaded 200,000 times (just make sure to download the new 2008 version not the old 2000 one).
I would recommend looking at jQuery after looking at the basics of Javascript. Even experienced Javascript programmers use frameworks like jQuery to speed up development.
