HTML and CSS Tutorials. And Stuff.
HTML Dog has been dishing out healthy code treats since 2003, and currently serves up around 1,500,000 page views a month. The idea is to take the somewhat convoluted official specs for XHTML and CSS and present them in a much more readable fashion.
Web Standards
What makes HTML Dog different to the vast majority of HTML guides and tutorials out there is its focus on best practices. “Web Standards” are at its heart, which, to cut a long story short, is all about using technologies, such as HTML and CSS, in the right way - as defined by their founding fathers and guardian angels - The World Wide Web Consortium (or W3C for short).
This might sound a little bit over zealous, but it isn’t about following rules for the sake of it - there are immense tangible practical benefits. I’m talking about cleaner, future-proof code that is accessible to users with disabilities, can be maintained more easily and quickly, and will result in much lighter pages that download that much quicker.
This might also sound a bit daunting to the uninitiated, but it’s all quite easy, really. Honestly. Give the tutorials a shot.
The most common way of learning HTML still seems to be to learn it the old, non-standard hack way and then, if so inclined, to learn about web standards at a later date. But there’s no reason not to teach standards compliant HTML and CSS from the bottom up without saying there’s anything special about it - it’s just the way it’s done. That’s the way HTML Dog has always done it, and it’s gone down pretty damned well for the millions who have used it.
