Html Help!
 
Ok. I know just about nothing about html. What is the easiest way to learn it? How long does it take? A really want to make a good website!

PGN August 22nd, 2004 2:46 PM

Here are some basic commands:

<B>Bold Text Here</B>
Will be:
Bold Text Here

<I>Italic Text Here</I>
Will be:
Italic Text Here

<U>Underlined Text Here</U>
Will be:
Underlined Text Here

<S>Strikethrough text here</S>
Will be:
Strikethrough Text Here

<CENTER>Centered Text Here</CENTER>
Will Be:
Centered Text Here

Now, PM me if you are beyond the basic HTML Codes and I'll teach you more advanced codes.

This is an example of a short webpage:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
//Title of your page:
<TITLE>Insert Page Title Here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
//Starts the visible part of the page:
<BODY>
Put your text here
</BODY>
</HTML>

Just about nothing eh? Well there are plenty of good websites out there that can show you the basics, but really I've found books are the best way. Mostly because you can read them anywhere at anytime. But there can be expensive so if you want I can tell you a few sites I know of, but honestly they really are for people who have basic knowledge of it.
Sites:
Htmlgoodies.com
W3schools.com

Also, HTML is not the only coding for websites. A few others are CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), JavaScript, PHP, Perl, and many more. It depends on what you are doing, each script has different purposes. And it depends on how long it takes to learn it, some people are naturals and understand this stuff easily, some people it takes a bit more time.

A good book that you can get at any local Barnes and Noble is "HTML for the World Wide Web 5th Edition with XHTML and CSS" It has helped me very much and this sereis is what gave me my HTML knowlege. It is written by Elizabeth Castro and it is by Visual Quickstart Guide. It gives you very very easy step by step instructions. It is only about $20-$25.

Yeah, I have that book. I only use it as reference because once you really know HTML you will memorize all the basic scripts. You will still have to look up ones you use rarely or difficult ones (none are really that hard though)

I advise that you open up notepad, and try out HTML yourself. it's good to try out most of the things too, rather then just learning it. While you learn, just test out what you already know, that way you can easily remember what you've learned. How long it takes? it all depends on how dedicated you are to learning it. Though like Pokedragonfire said, some people just learn at a different pace.

The book I used was "Create Your First Web Page in a Weekend". While it takes a lot longer than a weekend to learn HTML, it is a really good reference for learning the main tags and other information. It gave me enough information to code my site, at least. (with a little help from PPNSteve and Kip-kip :) )

I really like Lissa Explains. The way I learned HTML was looking at people source code and testing what each line did. Eventually, I learn enough to make a site. :)

Jirachi Master August 23rd, 2004 5:09 PM

Thanks guys. I tried out Lissa Explains a while ago, but it got me nowhere. So I tried out HTML Goodies and now I know the basics! Thanks guys, you were a big help!
