10 Best Online Web Design Resources - Derek Gentry
W3SchoolS ď ą While many web training sites look colourful, attractive, and welcoming, with video and colourful graphics, W3Schools looks a bit flat and boring at first glance. But don't be put off!
ď ąHowever, for a beginner who doesn't know quite where to start with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it still provides a very userfriendly, straighforward and free way to get going.
GooGle code UniverSity
Google's lessons in "HTML, CSS, and Javascript from the Ground Up" presents the basics of building websites with video tutorials presented by Google's own developers. A perfect place for beginners to start with their web design training.
treehoUSe Treehouse is a video-based service, offering web design training in HTML and CSS, web development (including HTML5 and Javascript), and creating iOS apps (using Objective-C and Xcode), all wrapped up in a clear and easy-to-navigate user interface. Treehouse charges a subscription for its services, but the videos are very professionally produced, and you get a wealth of lessons covering almost every aspect of web design and development.
opera Web Standard cUrricUlUm
The good people who work at the Opera browser created and maintain this free and comprehensive resource introducing the basics of web design and web standards.
Like W3Schools, it's based around plain text and not exactly visually seductive. But the writing is lively and easy to follow, which more than makes up for that.
lynda.com Like Treehouse, Lynda.com offers a wide range of video-based tutorials that can teach you how to design websites (as well as covering other design-related subjects) for a monthly fee. Lynda.com has been around since the dawn of the web (it launched in 1995), and also produces books, videos, and documentaries. An authoritative source of web design training videos, you can get a taster by checking out its free tutorials.

mozilla School oF WebcraFt No, we haven't added a rogue Harry Potter game in the list. The Mozilla School of Webcraft is part of an open education programme at the online community for learning, Peer to Peer University. The site offers a host of free web design training courses, including ones in CSS, PHP, and HTML. It also features various challenges to test your skills: for example, Challenge 101 will help you create your own basic website from scratch.
SmaShinG maGazine
It's not actually a magazine (well, not in the traditional print sense of the word), but the web design blog Smashing Magazine is a fantastic resource of tutorials on all aspects of the process. The lessons are aimed at the intermediate to advanced end of the web design spectrum.
codecademy
Codecademy describes itself as the 'easiest way to learn how to code' and has established a great reputation for itself within the web design community.
This free web design training resource runs through the path of building websites, games, and apps in an engaging way, easing users in gently with a very basic first lesson.
The site also features a social network aspect, meaning users can interact with and learn alongside friends and colleagues. And, like Treehouse, the team at Codecademy also understand the power of a badge, offering them at various key points in the training.
