I'm working on an HTML guide for my website after various requests and was wondering if there are any wanna-be web programmers out there, and if so, if there are any specific areas or aspects of web design or HTML that anyone would like to see covered. I'd also be willing to accept any input that experienced designers may have in relation to the lessons after I've posted them. Thanks!

I'd be cool if you had some stuff involving HTML forms, and linking them to CGI scripts. Most people making HTML guides cover only basic stuff like Headings, bold/italic/striked/underlined, and links.

Most people who are trying to make things with HTML have trouble on positioning text. I think that it would greatly help the people who are trying to learn.

Well, I think I can write topics on basically everything suggested. The CGI might be a little tricky, but I'll see what I can come up with.

Nick, for web-stuff, I feel like the best way to learn it is A: using online resources (no need to buy a book, there are a lot of sites out there dedicated to teaching html, css, php, and web standards). B: practice by making sites, starting out with basic html pages, then html and css (gotta know your css these days). There's probably some sites that allow hands-on practicing of partial bits of code as well. I learned a lot from webmonkey.com's tutorials. Oh, and did I mention surfing the web, viewing the source of pages and learning from that? 'cause if not, I should have.

Well, I was mostly jus' trying to point out that it's hard to get used to the stuff without actually -building- pages, which means that you're going to be online anyway.

There are a few books out that are okay, I learned a good 90% of what I know from "Web Publishing Unleashed: Professional Reference" it was published back in '96 so it's pretty decently out of date in some areas, but considering how few tags were depreciated between HTML 3.2 and HTML 4.01 I don't think it matters too much. (it's just mainly some of the server information, etc. that's horribly out of date) Plus it comes with a nice little disc of free and shareware programs. In fact, I still use the shareware version of Paint Shop Pro 3.12 for a sizable amount of my graphic editing. It's also kind of sweet because it's dirt cheap via amazon.com. If you need a good HTML reference, try www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp it seems to occasionally have pop ups, but it's a nice little place to double check tags, attributes, and depreciation information. Other than that I usually get most of my information via long hours surfing the web.
