I learnt from these 2 books
Web Design with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery Set
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1118907442/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Y1MQCbH3QGBW6
I highly recommend them, they aren’t really tutorials on how to code but goes into excellent detail on everything you need to know. They do include code examples and website concepts such as design, how to structure, ease of use etc...
If you want to progress from this, you can start looking at databases and collecting user data etc... the PHP practice is a bit outdated but it is a very good tutorial book to get started
PHP & MySQL In Easy Steps
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1840785373/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_C7MQCb9JHJP5G
I’m also hoping you’ve came across w3 schools at some point but just incase you might want to have a look at this website as well, it’s great for information all website related
https://www.w3schools.com
This was my path and I’ve done 2 courses of web design at uni and there isn’t much more they were able to teach me that I hadn’t already learnt from those books. Obviously a bit more advanced stuff but tutorials and resources are always available online for that.
If you have anymore questions don’t be afraid to ask! Like I said I’m still a student who self taught all this and it’s not my job but I hope it will be in the future for me too, so hopefully a professional might be able to offer you better advice :)
I don't know about that book, but a book I absolutely loved years ago and got a tremendous amount out of is http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-VISUALLY-HTML-Tech/dp/0470285885. Its large fonts and colored arrows I found to be very effective. Good luck! :)
I know this isn't super helpful since you're using videos, but starting out, this book can be pretty handy.
What I like about Head First is that all of their lessons are built around real-world tasks, and they build off one another from lesson to lesson (as opposed to a bunch of random one-off projects). In the PHP book's case, the very first few chapters show you exactly how to get a database up and running, how to connect to it, and how to build pages to create a mailing list, 'unsubscribe' form, 'post to blog' form, etc.
I had zero PHP expertise when I started the book, and within a week or two I had built all that's described above, and was already figuring out ways to extend functionality, tweak, etc.
FWIW, I also think that starting out, it's worth just getting some hosting space through godaddy or any other cheap host that'll give you quick dashboard access to phpmyadmin. It'll make creating databases with mysql (which the aforementioned book also explains) a snap, and you won't have to deal with a bunch of Apache/OS-level headaches.
You can install WordPress on your server and create your own WordPress theme. It's not as complex or complicated as it sounds - if you're just creating a theme for your own website, you just add PHP snippets such as
<?php get_the_date(); ?>
where you want the date that your post was published to be displayed, for example.I was like you, knowing HTML and CSS but not PHP, but I wanted to create a WordPress theme for my website. I found this book, which is really useful for this purpose and is very useful to look back at for reference.
I’m halfway through this book and making great progress plus having tons of fun https://www.amazon.com/Head-First-HTML-CSS-Standards-Based/dp/0596159900
As many have recommended online sources, I’ll recommend a great physical source. Check out Jon Ducketts book! It teaches all the necessities for html AND css (although it is a bit dated at this point so there’s that). I used it to learn and it’s done wonders! https://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?adgrpid=55477128705&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuLPnBRDjARIsACDzGL1d1JwzTYFepv6lTztDq_3hZlMBADGYXubYcngdgqHEmKGbtWf1aDUaAr2SEALw_wcB&hvadid=274706420603&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9011492&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=18367512556725691839&hvtargid=kwd-320506985194&hydadcr=21343_10176684&keywords=jon+duckett&qid=1559065605&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1
Great to hear man!
I also found a review on that book that he would recommend this book instead, because it's more of thorough book on the subjects
I'm in the same boat about book > screen. I'm pretty beginner, and I found Learning Web Design incredibly helpful. It's 2012, but the author focuses on HTML5 and CSS3. I highly recommend it.
A friend of mine wrote a book, Introducing HTML5, then again that could be biased. I would start here or on SitePoint.Those two plces are much more beginner friendly. StackOverflow is not really meant for discussion, rather my issue is x, how do I solve it.
I was able to learn how to set a good website up and running with HTML, XHTML & CSS Sixth Edition by Elizabeth Castro.
http://www.amazon.com/HTML-XHTML-CSS-Sixth-Edition/dp/0321430840
Yes defiantly don't look at JavaScript first its a lot more difficult and you need to understand HTML first. Check out this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1118008189/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425731084&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=html+and+css.
You should be able to learn HTML and CSS within a couple of weeks. Odviously with web development you never stop learning. Good luck
I learnt through a mixture of Codecademy (which has already been mentioned) and a book called [HTML & CSS: Design and Build websites by Jon Duckett (this links to the UK amazon)] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Sites/dp/1118008189). I think Codecademy misses a few (non-vital) things out, so a secondary source would definitely be worth while; whether that's Duckett's book or not.
Available on amazon here
This is the book I learned from
You could try : http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTML-Dog-Best-Practice-Guide-XHTML/dp/0321311396
This is a “200” level course which is sad..
I’m reading on Sass right now. Maybe you should just come teach this course.
Currently he’s “teaching” us HTML, but we will also “learn” about JavaScript and ASP.
this is the book we’re told to use
