Learning html5/css/javascript

Post by Expresso »

Hello, I'm thinking of (finally) learning html5 and css, however I am not sure where is the best place to start learning.

When I'm finished with html5 and css I want to continue with javascript.

My target is to be able to build chrome apps (I have an idea for a chrome app - sorry, not telling).

Can you suggest any book or tutorial website to me?

I have taken a look at w3schools and codecademy, but if people have different suggestions then those they're certainly welcome.

w3c's website is good for individual elements, I've found

I do think there's an element of trial and error - the great joy of it is that you can update almost instantaneously, so can immediately see if something works.

HTML and CSS is fairly easy to learn on its own, simply using the documentation from W3C's website. It's how I taught myself to develop HTML documents 20 years ago.

If you would like something more formal, and FREE, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have a joint education platform called edX which offers an online HTML course, which includes a certificate and credits that can transfer over to other public universities. https://www.edx.org/course/learn-html5- ... x-html5-1x

The "official" W3C standards are more accessible, then you might think.

Personally I found Mozilla Developper Network really helpful. Especially concerning Javascript.
