I was just wondering where I could learn a lot about coding. I have read most of the tutorials here but I want to learn even more so I can start converting all of my psd web designs to html and see it go to work. Very Happy Do I need some sort of program? What is recommend? I am interested in learning more about coding but I don't know how or where to start. Also, do any of you know any good sites/resources that would help me?
Thanks!

Just keep reading tutorials, practice them. Thats the way to learn Smile I recommend google.com Razz It will provide everything you need.

When you are learning something from a tutorial, don't try to skip anything and don't move to next chapter until you have understood the current one properly.

Soo true.

When i started, i did so with w3schools, i stopped there as i didn't need to know much about html and css to learn php.
I'm learning php Smile

Thanks for the tip guys Very Happy but one more question, do I need any type of program? Also is JavaScript a program or just a type of coding?

You don't need a program.
All you need is a good browser (Firefox or Chrome) which you already have and a text editor. Notepad would work.

JavaScript is just a type of coding, you don't need to install it since it is already installed in a web browser.

Yes, if you use softwares, it will help you.

Dreamveawer has syntax highlighting feature which applies different colors for tags, attributes, values, brackets etc so its easier to read the code.

Also, it has a suggestion feature which will suggest you the tags while you are typing.

It has many other features which can make coding easier but a simple software like Notepad can also do the trick. If you are new to coding, you should use such software Smile

If you are starting out, DW would be great tool.
And it is not for just noobs. It has tools for from noobs to pro coders Wink

I don't prefer DW since it has way too many features that make it heavy Razz All I want from an editor is syntax highlighting, folding and tabbed interface. I get this much from Notepad++.

Change your thinking. DW is not for noobs and learning. You can disable the code suggestion tool if you want Razz And suggestion feature is not the only thing that DW provides. There are many features for pro coders that we won't even know about.

DW is as professional as Photoshop and Flash. As you see, all these softwares can be used by beginners as well as experts.

But I don't think you need tuts for DW. Its so simple. Just create a new file and start coding.

You might need to read HTML tuts but not DW tuts.

Well for me the best way to learn something new is:

=>Open a tab with an HTML editor
=>Open a site with HTML/CSS/JQuery etc.

then i just grab the codes and experiment with them.Then i say them tomyself loud and type them until i learn them.
