    The best place to get started is probably W3Schools. It has structured lessons for all the essential web languages out there.

    Like TheLeggett said, W3Schools is the best place to start. If you want to search for other sites, you're looking for HTML and CSS tutorials. These are tutorials that you can follow on your own computer, without having to install additional software.

    If you have GoLive in your CS Suite, then you can try using that as well.

    Does anyone know of any good Dreamweaver tutorials/training resources?
  5. Fredrik Feb 14th 2008
    I would personally advice against the use of GoLive/Dreamweaver and such software. Here are my reasons:

    I find it easier to learn both xHTML and CSS if you write it yourself. You understand every symbol and every character in the code (at least you should when you write it yourself)
    You will have a cleaner code with just the stuff you want, most software has a tendency to add way to much stuff.
    If you're experienced it's often faster to just write it yourself then using a application to do it for you.

    Everybody have their own opinions on what's best, so the best advice is really to just say: Try different approaches and figure out which one you like the best. Most software companies offers the users the ability to download a trial version, give a couple of those a try and see what you like.

    (Personally I might add that I use TextMate for the Mac, which is a great text editor designed for most code languages.)

    Dreamweaver is really nice for applets, really quick and fast, good for adding code for flash and movies that usually have a lot of parameters. I like to use Homesite at school, its really slim and quick, not bulky at all. If I happen to remember what the name of the program was, theres a really good one for mac.

    BBedit for Mac was great, but it isn't free. I like Smultron now, but I don't think there's a PC version. Good thing there's about 1000 or so good ones for the PC eh? ;)

    Smultron, thats what I was thinking of.

    I use Adobe Dreamweaver CS 3 but if your looking for software to help you code in any language then i would highly suggest Notepad ++ which is a free source software package for coding, it acts like a normal notepad but with the support of plenty of languages, just simply select the language u wish to code. Go Here to download.
