HTML Tutorial Sites
  Don't know the first thing about HTML? These sites will have you writing pages in no time at all.

  • The HTML Goodies Home Page features excellent tutorials on basic HTML, advanced HTML, and much more. A comprehensive site that's written in plain english and is updated with new tutorials frequently.
  • HTML Station features clean tutorial source pages and reference pages that are a bookmark "must".
  • NCSA (at UIUC) Beginner's Guide to HTML is not updated as much as the previous two pages, but is a comprehensive source for a beginning HTML writer.
  • Case Western University's HTML guide and tutorial is a good beginner's guide to HTML. The strongest points of this guide are the interactive quizzes and the use of interactive exercises at the end of each chapter.

  It's not easy remembering how to do certain HTML processes. These sites are great time savers.

  • The Web Developer's Virtual Library (Stars.com) is a great starting point for researching anything a web author needs to know.
  • Hypernews Forums Guides to HTML has forums to post questions, provides reference lists, and tutorials.
  • Martin Ramsch's iso8859-1 table is a listing of the HTML codes necessary to generate special characters ( examples: &, <, >, " ).
  • ColorCenter. Not sure of how a particular foreground color is going to look against a background color? Here's a great reference site.
    Note: This site uses Javascript, to view the pages, you must have Internet Explorer 3.0 or above, or Netscape 2.0 or above, and java must be turned on.
  • HTML quick reference. This University of Kansas guide is just that, a quick online reference.
