W3 Schools

A time-honoured website, recommended by many web developers (and I hasten to say that I’m not a developer or a designer, but someone who is largely interested in the possibilities offered by the web as a medium of communication – and will learn as much programming as I need to) is W3 Schools – a great site offering introductions to the most common web languages, and also more advanced skills for those who already have some expertise in this area, including

  • asp
  • css
  • flash
  • html
  • javascript
  • php
  • xhtml

What do W3 Schools Say?

  • Because time is valuable, we deliver quick and easy learning.
  • At W3Schools, you can study everything you need to learn, in an accessible and handy format.
  • “Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of words required to explain anything” William of Ockham (1285-1349)
