Good HTML

[LordNoob]

If anyone knows of a good book to learn HTML that is not too expensive but yet good, that would be awesome. My brother just wants to get started on being able to program a basic webpage and learn more as he goes along. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

to those who help

I would definitely recommend to him to learn CSS as early as possible so he doesnt aquire alot of bad habits by doing too much in straight HTML

there's a little difference between html and coding a script for a webpage. if he wants to create a simple website, then he doesnt really need to learn programming. using MS frontpage or macromedia dreamweaver would be sufficient. but if he really wants to know how to code, then he should learn some higher level language such as java or c++ to get the idea of the syntax used in programming for object oriented languages (such as java).

He wants to learn a little html to do a webpage and you're telling him to learn java or c++? There's nothing wrong with him learning how to write html by hand, it's a much better idea than just blindly letting a program like frontpage spew out whatever crap it wants for you.

Another vote for http://www.w3schools.com. Great basic intro to a number of web related technologies.
