Searching tutorial on html editing to build website

Expand Post »

Hi folks,

I haven't built webpage for >10 years. I'm prepared coming back. Previously I ran software on MS Windows building website. Now I'll change my way doing html editing on simple text-editor instead.

Googling brought me hundred of links on guides building webpage on html, difficult for me to screen. Can folks on forum shed me some light. I expect to have a guide, step by step, to build webpage with examples to illustrate. TIA

B.R.

Re: Searching tutorial on html editing to build website

I use notepad as my editor and then keep a list of sites that have tags with them... So just google HTML Tags you can build whatever you want....
Keep your layout along the lines of
<html>
<head>
<title>steve's awesome html page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Steve's HTML</h1>
<p> This is just a simple example of HTML layout.... you can visit a variety of sites that include filler tags that you can include in the body to bring your pages to life.... Then add CSS for more life!!!!
</p>
</body>
</html>

Re: Searching tutorial on html editing to build website

With so many WSYWIG editors out there, why would you ever want to hardcode unless you're just after the learning experience...or pain! LOL

Whatever the reason, do a search on google (or your fav search engine) for "hardcoding HTML" or any combo or variations of the words "hardcode" and HTML.

Here's a graphical site that will take you from the basics to CSS and Javascripting.

Outside that there are tons and tons of sites with plenty of code samples but the one of choice, which DangerDev alluded to already is http://w3schools.com/

Thanks for your advice that is what I need "google HTML Tags", the searching criteria, instead of searching "html editor". I further found another good teaching material is on browser;

View --> Page Source

Of course, it needs a little effort sorting out the codes there.

>10 years ago I ran WSYWIG editors building webpage, easy and comfortable. After turning to server building and admin I ceased building webpage. This time I come back and I want to start on basic rather than WSYWIG editors which actually is the frontend. The backend is still coding.

Thanks for your searching criteria. I was googling on "html editor" which brought me tons of articles.

Thanks for your URL.

I'll start on HTML first building some simple/basic webpages on server and/or BI technologies, etc.. I don't need complicate nor fashionable webpage.

I almost forgot java and pearl. I'll come back to java later. I think it needs swing on building webpage? Any advice on the respect? TIA.

Re: Searching tutorial on html editing to build website

WYSIWYG development is a cool tool.... Learning to actually sit down and edit your code is essential to understanding and debugging problems that may arise in the future.
I created a whole series of pages using Dreamweaver when I first started out but found that different browsers, and different settings or whatnot displayed things alot differently than what I wanted, plus, sometimes I would get carried away in Jazz and tricks, the pages looked cool I thought, but sucked for the user...
I now just code using Notepad or Wordpad, keep it simple and post away. Hardcoding isn't difficult, it just takes the time to understand what your looking at... sorta like learning a more developed language... Like C.

Cheating with Visual Basic...

If you own a copy of Visual Basic... Steal the code from a page and copy /paste into VB. It will sort all of your tags so you can see where your lines begin and end rather than trying to go behind your self and add spaces and /nl to the code to better understand it.

Agree. In less than half hour I already have my webpage ready on a simple text editor. It is a simple/single page website without graphics. I'm now going adding some simple graphic icons and background.
