Question
A friend asked me to recommend where to start with learning some basics about Web Development.
Answer
My answer is to start with a foundation in basic HTML and CSS and then go onto some of the coding languages like Javsascript, PHP or others later.
Resources
- Introduction to HTML and CSS http://www.teaching-materials.org/htmlcss/ (this is the material from the course we ran for GirlDevelopIt in Sydney). This is written by the very talented Pamela Fox.
- An Online CSS Course https://learnable.com/membership?course_id=206. This is written and presented by Russ Weakly – the best CSS expert I know, and the person that taught me :). (if you pay for a full year, there are about 4 other courses that you could do quite easily – Advanced CSS, Javascript, PHP, Photoshop).
- There is also an Intro to Javascript written by Pamela Fox http://www.teaching-materials.org/javascript/.
So, start with those, and then let me know in the comments if you have any specific questions or where to go next in learning about Web Development.
