HTML Help/Tutorial

Since Purdue gives webspace away to each student and free access to Frontpage, I figured I'd learn HTML, but I don't know anything beyond making links.
Any suggestions as to adding themes/graphics to the page or just a good tutorial? or even just color....lol

Google "HTML Tutorial" - there are literally hundreds of helpful and comprehensive tutorials.

http//www.htmlcodetutorial.com/ kinda helped me do some basic stuff

www.w3schools.com is pretty good and useful too. You can practice in sample boxes and stuff.

thats how i learned...i would use this....and Fuck frontpage it aint anygood

Try using Dreamweaver if you have access to it. I use it all the time....

/me hides from Frontpage fanboys

IMO you shouldn't use something like dreamweaver or frontpage until you understand the code. kinda how math teachers often ask that you learn something by hand before learning the caculator shortcut.

Agreed.


Believe it or not, I learned a lot from this site http//www.lissaexplains.com/ when I was starting to learn HTML 5 years ago.

I couldn't agree more. It just pains me to (I'm a frequenter of a website that includes a programming forum, and we get posts like "why is my site broken in firefox/ie (take your pick) becuase they used dreamweaver to drag and drop images, slopping broken links and unvalidatable markup) see people butcher code with a wysiwyg.
Its a great interface, though (dreamweaver)
The code highlighting is excellent, at least for PHP

My school gave me free space too. In fact, it was required to make an online portfolio. I learned from http//www.w3schools.com/html/[]http//www.w3schools.com/html/ too. I just started using Dreamweaver about a week ago. I used to just used notepad and check it as I go along. I like dreamweaver, but I only use the coding and preview sections. I don't ever drag and drop anything.

Really good point, I was just making the page based on the commands that were there. Gotta learn the right way.

^ Class I'm taking right now

I also agree. Be a man and learn HTML in notepad and then do other stuff with it later.

Yeah I'm at West Lafayette licoughbettercoughli
I admit, I wanted to take short cuts and guess, but I know what's better for me know (learning the long way).

WHAT??? How could you dare call Lafayette better than Hammond! Oh wait... nm...

Yeah, Lafayette is better, there are academic standards there. Up here they let any tom dick or tyrone in but they are working to change that.

/me crosses fingers

I know what you mean. I'm still shocked at the number of idiots running around here. Today I met the stupidest person I've ever met without being labeled retarded. Transfer on up wink What year are you?

I'm... Not even sure what I am. I am taking the extended track (8yrs to complete 4yr degree) because I'm working full time and schooling part time. I think I am a sophomore

i thought purdue was chicken?

NO, THAT'S PERDUE CHICKEN[/sized3bd318c21]

the only one that got it right was my uncle who graduated there
annoying as hell, but i knew you were just kidding wink evil
