Bookmark http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ - you won't be able to get through it right away, it's a little dense. Once you get a feel for how HTML works it'll be less difficult to read. That's the official reference for HTML 4.01, so you can't do a whole lot better than that in terms of accurate information. In terms of a well-designed tutorial, I offer two recommendations. http://www.w3schools.com is good but I think some of the concepts aren't discussed as well as they ought to be. http://www.htmldog.com is good if you overlook the emphasis on XHTML, which I feel is not worth getting into at the beginner level, and not at this time at all unless you're in a rather unique situation where it actually offers benefit. Fortunately, HTML and XHTML work rather similarly, with only a few differences like having to write empty elements with a slash at the end. I know of a few errors in each, but overall they're good. They both stress a semantic approach to HTML, leaving style to CSS. Of course, I don't know how your instructor will teach HTML, but there's the chance (s)he will get some things messed up here and there too. Use the instructor's content as well as the online references I cited to get a feel for what's the best way to do a particular thing. Sometimes you might have to do something "wrong" to satisfy an assignment, sure, but get to know in your heart what's the best practice. Do read this newsgroup as well, also comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html and other ciwa newsgroups, for tips, thoughts and the occasional wacky side-thread. These newsgroups are populated with individuals, amateurs and pros, with a variety of experiences and specialized expertise. And so long as you're not asking for an answer to a homework assignment, feel free to post questions you may have to the appropriate ng. |
