how do i start learning html?

Answer 1

I would complete the interactive HTML exercises along with getting a decent HTML book for the study.

Answer 2

There are tutorials you would find on W3Schools as well as Tizag. Go through them.

And, do make sure you keep coding and reading simultaneously. And keep practising. Without practice, there is no use of reading.

Books I don't think are required as there are rich online resources you can use.

All the very best! :)

Answer 3

There are also free templates online that you can download and look at the source code to see how they did what they did and see if you can recreate it - that is how I learned HTML and CSS. Firefox has a neat tool where you can view the source of the selected area on a webpage so you can select a specific area on the webpage and look at the source. If a website interests you, just check the source code and try to recreate it. Get a good book and a good tutorial that does things step-by-step.

Hope this helped

Very good advice. Try Amazon for the book if you really want to take the time to read it.
