John asks…
How can i learn How to HTML Code?
Im 13 years old and i have Great ideas for Games and sites But i don’t know how to HTML code. I want to learn to code Sites like Sploder.com like drag and drop game making sites.
I know theres some books and sites out there to learn. But i cant find any could you recommend some to me?
webdesignerscotty answers:
I’m just like you, same age except I’ve already learned HTML. I’ve been to sploder and the games are all flash. I don’t know much about flash but I do know that there are books for it but to make flash programs, it costs money. Now HTML, a book that I highly recommend is Head First HTML & CSS. It is very easy to learn whatever subject the book is about (I learned Javascript when I was only 11). Actually, all the Head First books are fantastic. The website of these books is http://headfirstlabs.com/ . Note that HTML is free to code and doesn’t cost money because no company owns it. Adobe owns Flash. Also, there are some tutorials that you can use online but the book is much better. Good Luck.

Carol asks…
How long it takes to learn and master HTML code/language?
Well i’ve heard that you can get up to 3, 000 euros for one site, I mean it really sells good in US and EU, so how long it takes to master it?
I’ve heard the basics of language are easy to learn.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Like a day from w3schools, here’s the link: http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp
..you need more languages to make a good website, like php, css, javascript, etc. All these are on that website, but those languages will take a lot longer to learn. HTML can be used to make a simple website though.
Susan asks…
What is the easiest way to remember HTML code?
Need to know the fastest, most efficient way to learn HTML code and the best way to fully retain what I have learned.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Unless you are talking about a test in school, the best thing to do is make yourself a “cheat sheet” in a simple text program and save it to disk or flash drive. Include all the things you would usually do and maybe a few java scripts too. Then all you have to do is copy, and paste keying in the variations and options.
I would hate to have to key in every character needed in html. I’ll cut, copy, and paste whenever possible.

Daniel asks…
How much html code should I learn?
Hi, I’m currently learning html/css and planning on learning other web scripting languages, but I’m not sure how in depth I should learn them. I want to be able to design a website with multiple pages and I want to be able to do it really professionally without the help of dreamweaver or frontpage. The problem is I’m not sure how in depth I should learn these such as memorizing attribute codes and the like. I don’t want to do a bunch of useless memorization, but I also don’t want to not memorize things that will be important later. Another issue I have is that I’m not sure what to learn after I’m done getting really good with html/css it’s going to be a while before I have to learn other scripting languages, but I want to know where I have to go from there any advice would be helpful thanks to any answers.
webdesignerscotty answers:
If web design is something you plan on doing seriously learning html and css is fundamental. Rather than memorizing attributes I have a file with all the attributes and selectors that I can constantly refer to and copy and paste into my document as needed. I can then modify small details required for the site I’m working on. Javascript and JQuery are useful to learn after the basics, as well as PHP and even Action script if you plan to use flash. Keep in mind that html and css are evolving with HTML 5 and CSS3 being adopted as standards in the near future.

Web Design 101: Designing Your Own Website
One of my favorite web design authors is Jakob Nielsen. He is quite old school and has some fantastic web design books like Designing Web Usability
It is as basic as considering web user psychology. His stats indicated that, generall speaking, if after three seconds there was no feedback from the browser, then the user would click the “Back” button and go to the next site.
If the page did not fully load within 10 seconds, they would click that “Back” button.
In the old days of 56K modems, this meant that your page had to be under 100K (graphics and text included). These days you can afford to have a few megabytes worth of web site.
The gist of it is: web user psychology is a whole new ball game. People expect free and fast for most things. So you need to design your website to give and give fast (even if you’re selling something!).
(Ever wonder why big flashy splash pages are shunned? Because it takes too long to loud and it gives the user NOTHING! Just like a movie that has too many special effects just for the sake of special effects!!)
Today, people want instant results.
Web User Psychology: give it to me fast!
If your web design does not grab their attention immediately, they won’t stick around. And if your web site does not offer something of benefit, they won’t bookmark it and they won’t come back..
So, with that in mind, let’s discuss some practical ways to grab the attention of web site visitors.
Nothing Extraneous In Design
If it doesn’t provide value, don’t put it in. Because it is extra content that must be downloaded.
Easy To Navigate
One of the most interesting things to do is film a user browsing your site. Give them a list of tasks you’d want them to do and see how they do it. Even when the web designer believes it is obvious, often times it is not. Make it easy for the general public to navigate
web design 101: Do Not Make Your Site Hard To Navigate
Utilize Existing Convention
Many popular sites have helped put conventions into play. Use them! Users have been trained. Use these conventions because the less they think, they happier they are with your site.
An example: the use of menus and tabs on the top or on the side. Thank you Amazon. People expect to see their navigation in these areas. So use that, why put it at the bottom ? The less you confuse your readers, the happier they are, the more they will like their site.
Make Your Point … Quickly!
Often times when you write something, you can rewrite it and delete half the text.
Make Them Want More.
This is important, because you want them to come back. Continue to deliver just enough quality content.
A great way to get them to come back is to also incorporate a mailing list. Offer an incentive to join the mailing list. This way they are in effect subscribing to your blog! Then it is up to you to continue to deliver great content and a valuable service!
These are the basics when planning your online business or even just building your own website and designing your website presence. Now go use these and create a killer site for yourself!

Ruth asks…
How long would I have to study programming until I could make my own custom internet forum?
I’ve had a couple courses on C/C++ in college but I’ve never written any programs of practical import. I don’t know much about web programming other than a little html and very basic javascript. For example, how low long would it take to make something like the lernu forum: http://en.lernu.net/komunikado/forumo/index.php ?
webdesignerscotty answers:
To make dynamic web sites (i.e. One which sends the data to the server and by looking at the data the server produces the website pages.) you can learn ASP.NET and J2EE. Between them I recommend you to learn ASP.NET because it is simple and easy to use then J2EE. But both these languages need a knowledge in other languages also.
Like ASP.NET requires some other .Net language(like VB.NET or C#.NET) and J2EE requires knowledge of J2SE. So choose wisely.
It takes atleast 4 – 5 months to learn VB.NET+ASP.NET or J2SE+J2EE.
Oh one more thing, if you’re learning web programming some knowledge of HTML and CSS is a must. So learn them before you learn any ASP.NET or J2EE or you can also take some help from a web designer.
Also Database knowledge is also required if have to store information about your customers or users, etc.
As you’re a beginner it will take 1 yr or some more months to develop an efficient website.
After then you can think of to make an Internet forum because at this time you’ll know basics of how to create a website and how to design them so you can concentrate on the logic of how to create these things. Although there are much more video tutorials available on the internet to create some websites. You can use these helps.
Try to gain some experience on web technologies before creating an Internet Forum.
Thomas asks…
Good Web Forum Programs?
I want to add a web forum to a website I am working on. What’s are some of my option? I am looking for something that looks Nice. Something like the biggerpockets.com forum looks nice. Anyone know what they use?
Any suggestions will b appreciated
webdesignerscotty answers:
Hi
Well, it depends on which type of forum’s you need, free or paid.
If you need free one’s than phpBB is the best.
In paid, vbulletin is the best.
William asks…
Why would Yahoo spend so much time and programming resources to build Yahoo Answers? It’s just a web forum…
webdesignerscotty answers:
It’s a lot more friendly than the typical web forums. The design is more intuitive, and it is more graphically driven than most others are.
Plus, it’s a great push towards their portal strategy. First, there was just email and IM. Then there were groups — not a significant step above the alt.net groups, but with a different format. Now there’s Yahoo 360 — you can blog here as well. And, with answers…maybe you’ll spend all of your time here, which means they get more traffic, which means the advertisers pay more money…
Nancy asks…
Is there a program that allows you to download an entire web page forum to your hard drive?
I have a forum that I frequent, and would like to know if there is anyway to download the entire site so that I could review it offline, or even burn to a CD or DVD. I’m on a machine with vista, but if needed I have access to Mac and XP as well.
Thanks for your help.
webdesignerscotty answers:
You need a website ripper that has an offline browser.
I couldn’t tell you which is best, but google it and you can probably find some free ones.
Sandy asks…
Coding & Web Dev Forum Needs Moderator!!!?
Need someone good with programming/web development to be a moderator on http://www.babydev.com
Sorry but there is no money for doing this but you can become a very big part of this new and exciting forum!!!
Post in the forum here if you are interested….
http://www.babydev.com/viewtopic.php?p=330#330
webdesignerscotty answers:
After a brief review of the site, I have been disappointed in the postings of the web site. Seems like more of a soap box rather than actual helpful coding. I would suggest having people post more actual code and snippets to the site before anyone would be interested in the site. As far as needing an admin, I personally don’t have the time but you might want to look into joomla, a web based content management product that allows multiple user administration and ease of use.

What Is A Web Designer?
I got this question from a potential client of mine. She asked me “Well, what exactly is a web designer?”.
From designing my own websites and programming my own websites you’d think I would have a good answer. Instead, I looked around the web for some answers just to see what other said. I found this very good article with a lot of detail which I wanted to repost.
You can read the original here:
http://www.teradepot.com/web-2-0/what-is-a-web-designer-anyway/
Here is the article:
“What Is A Web Designer Anyway”
As a web designer, I get all kinds of requests , for information other than web design, and as a web designer I’m not suppose to really to be able to do things outside of the web design area. I believe there are a few misconceptions about what exactly a web designer does.
In this article I am going to nail down exactly what a web designer is and what they should be able to do. This article pertains to small business website designers and not to bigger businesses where they are looking for someone who specializes. First I’ll touch of the differences between a web designer and a web developer. A web designer is someone who creates the visual design and layout of a web page. A web developer is someone who does the behind-the-scenes programming of a website. For example a web developer creates the code for database websites.
Web designer’s definition:
For many businesses, the online web site presence is the last piece of the puzzle to success.
They give business organizations a web presence by building them a website. Web designers are professionals who organize information, create page layouts, while communicating the business’s information/opinions in a website. Web designer’s create another medium for the business to expand into. Creating a website enables the business to attract new customers, showcase its services products, and to do business across countries (as opposed to one location).
What things do web designer’s do?
That’s a really good question. It is definitely hard to nail down what every designer must do in order to call themselves a web designer. A good web designer should be able to do both the design and the development, unfortunately for you the consumer it doesn’t always work that way.
Your web designer must be able to perform the following:
::Understand and keep current will all new emerging technology
:: Layout web pages with HTML, XHTML, XML , and other programming languages
:: Program HTML (hand code), JavaScript and CSS
:: Translate your ideas, needs and expectations into a web page.
:: Design navigation elements (such as navigation bars)
::Create graphics in Photoshop or any other professional imaging software
:: Effectively participate in a web development team
:: Have an understanding on how to create Flash (authoring software used to create animation programs)
:: Understand and implement web standards
:: Have an understanding of Search Engine Optimization
:: Have a basic understanding of typography, graphics and color theory
:: Understand needs of users and of usability testing
:: Have ability to analyze a target market
:: Understanding of cross browser problems and how to fix them
A great web designer also has knowledge of coding languages such as:
:: C++
:: Python
:: Java
:: JavaScript
:: Cold fusion
:: SQL
:: PHP
Sometimes it might be difficult for a web designer to have all those different programming languages under their belt. It is like knowing English, French, Chinese and German. Quite complicated. The more languages they know the better. Well that should help you on your search for a good web designer!

Your Questions About Learn Html5
Lisa asks…
Do you know a good book, dvd or website to help learn html5?
Hi I want to learn the latest html5 coding is there any good books,videos or websites that explains the new coding language? Any help would be appreciated.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Youtube surprsingly has a lot of good tutorials
Robert asks…
What are some good websites to learn HTML5?
I know HTML4 quite well so I’m not looking for a tutorial site on basic HTML so don’t give me any links to w3schools.com or htmltutorial.com or anything like that. I’ve seen a lot of new features come out of HTML5. Not the least of which being the new and tags. I’m quite impressed with what I’ve seen done with them already and I would like to learn more about coding around HTML5.
webdesignerscotty answers:
HTML5 is still a working standard so you aren’t very likley to find any sites to learn it, although Apple does have an excellent showcase of HTML5
http://www.apple.com/html5/
Charles asks…
Should I still learn flash or wait for HTML5 tutorials?
I’m still interested in being a web designer, but would like to know whether or not I should learn flash since HTML5 is starting to become more prevalent in the future. Also, is there any other skills I need to learn? I’ve already know HTML, CSS, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I might try to learn some JavaScript too but don’t want to get involved with programming languages since I’m not good with object oriented programming.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Go for HTML 5… Flash was good in its day, but the latest versions have many problems.
George asks…
Should i learn Flash, or just skip ahead and start learning HTML5 or whatever is said to replace it?
as above.
webdesignerscotty answers:
HTML5 is not full supported by all browser, and all browsers have different behaviors with the same HTML5 script.
Is good idea learn HTML5, but Flash have a more avanced languaje (ActionScript 3) that is based in C and is supported by all the browsers, include now Mac, ipad and iPhone..
How you can see, there are a idea for each user. I recommended to you learn the two languajes: HTML5 and ActionScript 3.
Helen asks…
Do I need to learn HTML5 for website content creation?
I manage a website; the content side of things and I’m wondering about the implications of HTML 5. For my job, I know a little bit about HTML to tweak templates and layout; and also to resolve display bugs. I occasionally embed flash objects, which means I play around with source code. This is all managed by a CMS.
I don’t actually make templates or do any complex web development.
Do I need to learn HTML5 to proficiently do my job once its released?
webdesignerscotty answers:
I doubt it will be strictly necessary, however, I do think it would be a good idea, especially since you already know enough HTML to tweak templates and layouts. In addition, if your job ever changes, or you need to get a new job, the more you know, the better chance you’ll have of not being left behind.
The best way to learn, in my opinion, is to start with some basics and look at existing code. You can download free, open source HTML5 templates from freehtml5templates.com and also check out the HTML5 Quick Learning Guide there. You can probably pick up the knowledge you need in a day or two of studying, so I think it’s worth it to have that background if you ever need it.
David asks…

Hi, I’m want to learn web design but dont have the money to do a course right now. What web site can i go onto to start learning how to design web sites? What would be the best course to learn web design?

David asks…
web design?
I would like to know where i can find a good and cost effective web design company to design my business website? thank you.
webdesignerscotty answers:
You can try using a site like Elance.com. You just post the project (describe what you need) and then web designers can “bid” to win your project. The prices are competitive since they want to get the project instead of the other designers.
No matter who you hire, be sure to look carefully over their portfolio and reviews (in this case, both are available on Elance).
Joseph asks…
web design???
I want to get into web design…I’m a fantastic artist and I’m great in the technical field as well. I can’t afford to go back to school right now, but is there anything else I could do to break out into the industry? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Goto www.elance.com, there are all kinds of freelance projects up for bid, try a small project, see how it goes. If you start doing work people like, via a site like that, you’ll start getting more business.
Getafreelancer.com is good too.
Craigslist is good too.
Chris asks…
What are the differences between web design and graphic design and which career should I choose?
I am currently a junior in high school (also taking classes at the local college to get ahead) and want to have a career in some sort of computer based designing, but I can’t choose. The two I’m mainly considering are web design and graphic design. I personally would prefer being in graphic design, but I hear that the income isn’t that great, and I’m not that creative or decisive, so I’m leaning towards web design. I’m just not that sure, though.
I’m trying to find out class and skill requirements, annual salary, and maybe more details about each career. Also personal input would be great, too!
webdesignerscotty answers:
web design is pretty much what it sounds like- it’s designing for the internet, whether it’s creating websites or working in programs like Flash. Also, you do have to be some what creative when designing websites, but I know some web design majors who prefer the coding part rather than the design part.
Graphic design is designing mostly for print, with some designing for the web (ex: banner ads). In graphic design you can do numerous things like working on layouts for magazines, creating logos or designing packaging for consumer goods.
As far as income goes, it all depends on where you live, how much experience you have and what your job title is. A junior designer obviously won’t be making as much as a senior designer or an art director. You’ll just have to do some of your own research to figure out how much a graphic designer makes versus a web designer.
I will tell you from personal experience that there does seem to be a lot more web design jobs out there. I majored in graphic design and although I enjoy what I do, its been really tough finding a full-time job, but hopefully the economy will get better soon!
Sharon asks…
How can I become a web design teacher in a community college?
I want to teach web design in a local community college. So far I have my associated degree. I am also in the web design business and have been for years. What do I need to do to become a web design teacher?
webdesignerscotty answers:
You will need your master’s degree to teach at a community college. It might be good to try to land a tutoring job at a community college while you work on completing your education. This way by the time you are certified to teach at this level, you already have some experience working with college level students and you may have your foot in the door.
Good luck.
Paul asks…

Is it difficult to break into the web design industry,even with proof of college or college level education and a portfolio?
webdesignerscotty answers:

webdesignerscotty answers:
Aptana Studio is very good, free version contains almost everything you need for writing a good website.
Mark asks…
What web design platform or software can I use to design websites like iGoogle or My Yahoo?
What web design platform or software can I use to design websites like iGoogle or My Yahoo i.e. websites (e.g.homepage) that can be modular in design and blocks can be moved around or replaced by the user? The user has a choice of modules to add to homepage and decides what to add or remove on their web page?
webdesignerscotty answers:
It is a real hard thing to say being those examples are fully developed applications for the most part. To build the base yourself you would have to look into a web development language like Ruby, PHP, ASP, or etc. I would recommend PHP or Ruby for the open source community behind them. Then using a framework and MVC pattern to structure your code and make things easier. (i.e. Rails or Zend)
Now their are a few open source platforms created already you can install, but none offer the complete solution really. If you want basic functionality and something easy to use I would look into the PHP solution of WordPress, Drupal, or CMS Made Simple. You can customize these to do what you want with less code and maybe some prebuilt plugins but they will not be as clean or nice as building your own.
Then lastly when it comes down to designing your modules and pages you should look at just using your typical design software from Adobe or the open source programs GIMP or so forth. Just plan out what you want your application to do before you being and keep that in mind while actually designing the modules. If you lose sight of the end scope you could box yourself in with a design that does not function modularly.
Sorry for possibly stating things that were not needed but I wanted to cover most bases in case the information was not known.
EDIT: I forgot to add the information about the Front-End Interface. Both those sites use what is called AJAX, which is basically using JavaScript to reload and send data to code in the back end to return results to the front page so that the user never has to leave his current page, if you google this you will find many resources and there are even a couple frameworks for this like JQuery and MooTools.

Mandy asks…
how to Learn Web Desingning online for free?
I have some basic knowledge in HTML and know some basics in Java. I want to add Web Designing to my computer skills, so i want to learn it (both layout designing and client-server programming) not just the HTML/JAVA, but other technologies such as php, scripting, XML, AJAX and so on..
I am not in a position to fix a schedule and go to classes, so i am looking for a method to learn them online FOR FREE.
Is this possible? if so where can i learn it online? and what would be the best way to proceed with this?
rather than reading from books, it would be much helpful, if they were a sort of structured course for learning by yourself (or) learn by doing type…
and i don’t know where to start, so a proper guidance will be really helpful as well..
webdesignerscotty answers:
This might work for you, i ve learn so much from the site
http://www.tutorialized.com
But my favorite web design is not from a book. I really like Web Pages That Suck
Nancy asks…
Does anyone know where online is the best place to learn javascript for free?
I create websites, and right now all i know is HTML. I am really hoping to learn javascript. Does anyone know really really good sites to learn javascript for free?
webdesignerscotty answers:
One of my favorite ways to learn javascript is to go to javascript.internet.com, download some of the javascripts there, put them on my website, than modify them and see how it changes the script on my website.

Your Questions About Web Programming Languages
Laura asks…
What are the best web programming languages to learn?
I’m just starting to learn programming. I already know html, but I want to expand on that. Where should I start? PHP? ASP?
webdesignerscotty answers:
Classic ASP is not practical anymore…sites that run on it are moving away from it, and sites are not really being developed in it. ASP.NET has a solid ground, however, and is a good framework to get into.
Here’s the thing: You’ll hear people tell you that both ASP.NET and PHP suck. They will do so for varied reasons (ASP.NET suffers from being a MS product, PHP suffers from being a language that rather goes its own way…and repeats the mistakes of languages of the past)
PHP is easier to implement. It is also more popular and being open source has a lot of public support and packages and modules you can plug into your site.
Remember, HTML is NOT a programming language, and it won’t help you program (although it gets you used to the term “syntax”, that’s really about it).
Charles asks…
What programming languages can be used to implement an application onto a website? Like in a web game…?
The ones I know can be used in web applications are:
- Perl
- Java
- Others… this is what I’m looking for.
Not like HTML, CSS, XHTML, or web programming languages. And also, what .NET languages can be used to program applications viewable on a webpage?
webdesignerscotty answers:
PHP
Flash
JavaScript
Helen asks…
What is the relationship between web programming languages and others like C,C++,and Java?
I’m so interested in knowing if there is a relationship between programming languages for us to design webpages and those developed to help software makers achieve their own business-based objectives.
Is there any way php,asp,scripts,and other kind of platforms have something to do with the most commonly used programming languages such as C,C++,Java ?
webdesignerscotty answers:
The general philosophy is the same. Personally learning VB and C++ made me think of web languages as a piece of cake.
As there is a wide range of web programming languages many of them vary from interpreted (ie. Javascript) to compiled (ie. Java) and also some use Object Oriented features.

Nancy asks…
What are the most in-demand web programming languages today?
I like all of the ones I’ve experimented with so far… PHP, PERL, AJAX, SQL, ASP.NET, JAVA, etc…
But I don’t want to spread myself too thin. I want to focus on 2 (maybe 3) languages that are most in-demand, or worth the most money.
I’m still in college and I’m trying to increase my self value before I graduate
Thanks in advance
webdesignerscotty answers:
You might want to strongly consider .NET and JAVA. As a (IT services) business owner, I can attest that those qualifications are always in demand. It would be a good idea to understand SQL commands also, but potentially not as lucrative, which you listed as part of your criteria.
PHP is popular, but very easy to implement, therefore it is sometimes more competitive. But the number of sites using PHP and MySQL continue to increase as well.
Good luck.
Paul asks…
What are the best web programming languages to learn if i want to do free lance web programming?
I’m particularly concerned with developing well functioning visually attractive websites.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Visually attractive is done using graphics so you need to become a graphical artist first.
As for programming, well HTML (which is technically a formatting language) comes first. Then Javascript or VBScript. Javascript is more widely used.
Server side processing depends on the server you are using but perl is very popular.
PHP is a complete web processing language which includes server side processing.
ASP is similar but not used as much as PHP.
To display your graphics you may want to learn about flash programming.
Java can also be used for web design and programming. With java you need to learn JSP.
Then once you have created your web page you may need data to make the page more dynamic.
This is done using SQL on a relational database like MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server.
Learn all that and you may be able to call yourself a professional web designer.
Have fun.

Web Pages That Suck – This So Does Not Suck!
A common question that comes up:
“What’s the difference between web design and graphic design?”
The answer:
Graphic Design tends to be with layout, with print, or has to do with logos. It has to do a bit with spatial design. Web Design is the same.
The main difference (and it’s a big one!!!) is the user psychology is different.
Someone looking at a can of coke has a different psychology than someone looking at a website. Web user psychology is a whole different ballgame people.
A great analogy of user psychology I like to reference which helps people “get it” is road rage. You could be the sweetest person in the world, but you get behind a car and some M’F'er cuts you off and you are a sailor’s worst nightmare. Something about cars. Something about the isolation. About being anonymous.
Being behind a computer is the same. There is a whole different psychology there. People expect to find things quickly (and more often than not for free too!).
That being said, Web Usability is a huge huge topic that requires a lot of research and studying if you want to be a really good web designer. There are equations, math, and psychology all involved.
However, if you want some light (and fun!) reading, the very best reference I can recommend is “Web Pages That Suck“.
They take a look at actual sites that are designed poorly and explain WHY they are designed poorly. And sometimes it’s quite humorous. Sometimes it’s humorous especially if you’ve been a web developer for some time because you KNOW you’ve committed these same errors!
This is a really fantastic series of books. I can’t recommend it enough. If you have a web designer friend, this is the perfect book. It’s a great combination of humor and a lot of great web usability/web psychology lessons all rolled into a nice big colorful book! Go check it out!

Does anyone know of a free web-based tutorial on programming in Java?
I’d need something that starts out *very* basic–including stuff like what software to use to program *on a mac* (and, if terminal’s the answer there, how to use some of its commands) and how to compile things.

web programming tutorials?
I need some suggestions books, dvds ect to learn web programming
and severs. If you could give me links to the items them selves.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Some extremely helpful websites are:
http://www.w3schools.com/
http://www.dreamincode.net/
http://www.alistapart.com
http://www.sitepoint.com/
http://www.experts-exchange.com/
As far as books go, it depends on what specific language you are trying to learn. A lot of people recommend the O’Relly books but I have found they are much better for reference, not for learning. The “Dummies” is really good, but my favorite is Sams 24 Hour Publishing. Here are two examples:

What is the best tutorial for Microsoft Expression web?
I just purchased Microsoft’s Expression web software and am excited to get started but I know next to nothing about web design. So, I am looking for a comprehensive tutorial that starts from the very basics of designing a website with this program and ends with explaining the full capabilities of the program.
The tutorials featured on the Microsoft site rely too much on previous knowledge it expects users to have. Knowledge that I don’t have.
So, great tutorials for this program or really good tutorials that explain web design in general and are applicable to this software. Thanks.

An acquaintance was involved with the beta testing of this software. He liked it and said it has awesome features!
