<h1> I have already learned this </h1>

All I know how to do is:
bold
italic
underline
strikethrough
link

[Durza]

Another language you should learn is java or C and its variants.  Those too are useful in creating stuff.  I am building a tile engine in java. (yes its a pain but it makes me think)

I remember coding webpages with my sister when she was 14. Those were fun times. ^_^

HTML is a good place to start. What's wrong with the tutorials on w3schools?

W3Schools have easy to understand tutorials, and their live-testing feature  thing is pretty useful, but there are some mistakes in their tutorials, and they introduce you to some bad practices early on :/

Unfortunately there aren't many alternatives.

C and Java are pretty heavy for a first timer! I've not even dabbled in those myself (although I'm tempted to try C sometime in the near future)

why WOULDN'T you want to turn into a website!!??

Hey, Yuri, I recommend that you learn first HTML5.   Then CSS and PHP, then Javascript. 

[Sharptooh]

HTML5 shouldn't be a starting place, not yet anyway.

[Kyrolin Zenyar]

Oh yes it should.  Several reasons:

1) It will soon replace HTML4
2) It is far easier to use
3) It has more features
4) I'm studying it...

[Sharptooh]

1) It will soon replace HTML4

no it won't

2) It is far easier to use

not necessarily

3) It has more features

Yes it does, but this doesn't mean he should study it.

[Kyrolin Zenyar]

Ooh, argument with quotes!

let me reply without them (saves time)

1) HTML4 was made in '99.  OLD

2) I find it more straightforward..

3) Means you can do more with one language.

[Sharptooh]

HTML 4 is old, and that is partially why it isn't going anywhere anytime soon; take a look at this breakdown of browsers:



IE still has dreadful support for most HTML5, and it still has 50% market share, besides which the other browsers don't have complete support for HTML5 as defined by W3C standards, you need at least 90% market share before you can start thinking about doing this stuff, that is a LONG way away I'm afraid.

HTML5 might be more straightforward, and you might be able to do more with it, but it's still liable to some changed, and it's best not to learn it when you can't really use it for anything other than mobile phone stuff (unless this is all you're interested in doing)

[Kyrolin Zenyar]

Heh.  I want to know why 50% of the market share still uses IE.  Bleh.

Still.  Put that way, I guess I agree with you.  HTML4 first, then HTML5 if you want.

HTML4 would be a good base.
