Wants to get into web design

[Panophobia]

I really want to get inside web design, but no idea where to start.

Are there any good websites that cover all programming?

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place :rolleyes:

Thanks!

First little lesson, try not to use the word "programming" with Web Design, because only a small part of it is programming. The main language for the designing is HTML, a Markup Language. Don't get me wrong there is programming (Javascript, PHP) but they are for the really fancy things.

But yes w3schools.com is a good place to start, but not to fully develop your skills. However practice makes perfect

HTML is also a programming language, in fact all computer languages are programming languages.

A programming language is an artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer.

Not really, the clue is in the name. Hypertext Markup Language. It is not called HTPL. Even the source (Wikipedia, Programming Language) you got that quote from says so:

Markup languages like XML, HTML or troff, which define structured data, are not generally considered programming languages

HTML is also a programming language, in fact all computer languages are programming languages.

Generally considered != technically are.

There is no point arguing over this because you are wrong. Look at the 3 sources given. You can even find vast amounts of information as to why HTML is not a programming language by using a quick google.

"HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language"

It is not a programming language, it fails the extended definition that is provided on the Programming Language wikipedia page. "A programming language is a notation for writing programs, which are specifications of a computation or algorithm."

HTML can not do any computation or implement any algorithm.

Generally considered != technically are.
