Learning HTML

I want to learn HTML+CSS. I was just wondering if i spend at least 3 hours a day studying it how quickly will i be able to write it fluently?

Also, when people design websites do they learn ALL of the code or do they have a blank template of the code then add all the vital information?

Thanks

It kind of depends on your ability to pick it up. The basic concepts are not hard at all. The hard part is learning how all the different browsers will react with there little quirks. I'd say go through the tutorials on w3schools for HTML and CSS and you'll have a pretty good idea of what you are doing in a week or two.

Everyone has there own methods. But having the basic page template is handy. (I've been using the ESWAT "framework" lately to have all the necessary tags already in the file. http://eswat.ca/ ...i don't know why he took down the description etc.) And there are plenty of templates available online for various types of layouts. I, however, usually code my layouts from scratch. ...Usually using w3schools as a reference for when I can quite remember how some HTML or CSS works.

I usually do trial and error now since I learned the basics a while back.

This site is really good to get started: http://www.w3schools.com/

Yeah, they are right, depends on your capability to pick up. But that's not enough you also need to apply what you have learned. If you really wanted to study it fast, then in your "3 hours a day" have one hour for reading or browsing and have your 2 hours for purely applications (Trial and error as they say). With that you will be able to remember the codes.

thx for this post
Great one !

Yes, I was also used w3shools.com. it is pretty easy to learn for basics.

It is also good to start with other designs, like customizing them and such.

have a search on google. you can find a lot of tutorial websites. select a suitable one.

w3schools is a GREAT place to start. It teaches you the basics and then you can go on from there. After you've gone through their tuts then go out and find more complicated tuts to teach you more about it, and how to code full-on layouts. What I did, is go through w3schools, then I found another basic tutorial for a review on the CSS etc, and then I studied some code from websites. I picked up XHTML/CSS to the useable ability within 2 days or so. Then as you keep coding etc, you advance and get better.

Another great way to learn is to order the "For Dummies" books. They explain everything thoroughly and it would also help to have the book for quick reference when you forget what things do etc.

Hope this helps!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned HTMLDog.com yet. Check out that site. It's the best HTML tutorial site I've seen so far.
