I got to grips with the basics. and FCC introduced me to frameworks as well which definitely reignited my learning. I would say that FCC has better projects as you go through and the course is all about the web development. But starts with the basics of HTML and CSS. \r\n\r\nAlso this book was a great reference for me. [HTML and CSS: Design and Build a Website](https://www.amazon.co.uk/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Sites/dp/1118008189). Lovely designed book with great information in for beginners.","subreddit_name":"HTML","author":"fmpundit"},{"body":"UVA's CS department from what I hear isn't super front-end or web oriented. The great thing with web technologies though is they're very well documented and easy to learn if you have familiarity with other programming languages. The Forge class like someone recommended is a good bet to take alongside your normal programming classes. I imagine LinkedIn Learning has some good stuff. I can vouch for this book as well if you learn well by doing: https://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/ref=sr\\_1\\_3?crid=VPXGHE57JFWQ\u0026amp;keywords=HTML+%2B+CSS\u0026amp;qid=1642442576\u0026amp;sprefix=html+%2B+css%2Caps%2C66\u0026amp;sr=8-3","subreddit_name":"UVA","author":"Amaxter"},{"body":"You would say HTML is a prerequisite for react.  React uses JSX to define components, which is basically HTML + some other stuff.  I always recommend [HTML\u0026amp;CSS by Duckett](https://smile.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/).  You can get through the book in a week and then move onto Javascript, react, etc","subreddit_name":"learnprogramming","author":"computer_literate"},{"body":"Maybe you are already didthis, or your district just went that basic, but check the Canvas discussion boards and pre-created templates for course design ideas, solutions to issues, and templates. YouTube also has a million videos on course design ideas. Further, many of the basic designs/pages can be re-purposed for uses they weren't intended for (e.g., quiz question banks can be re-purposed for test question randomization very easily). You won't always find those ideas/solutions on their webpage. Instead, you just need to think about the system applying the logic the programmers used when designing the LMS and how you can put it to another use.\r\n\r\nIf you haven't taken one before, I'd also recommend taking a basic html course. Or, buy this book: https://smile.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/. It's $14 and packed with a lot of useful information on html.","subreddit_name":"vcu","author":"mckaa123"},{"body":"I would start off with learning HTML and CSS. I suggest this textbook:\r\n\r\nHTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites https://www.amazon.com/dp/1118008189/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cevoAbTSKA00B\r\n\r\nBy far the best textbook to pick up web development as soon as possible.","subreddit_name":"learnprogramming","author":"Greenleaph"},{"body":"Definitely learn a client side framework as conservative_punk suggested, but I won't take for granted that you even know HTML. You need to learn HTML before anything else, and then some basic Javascript. \r\n\r\nRead this book in less than a week and then move on from HTML:\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189\r\n\r\nConsider something like CodeSchool for its JavaScript path as well (which includes frameworks like React/Angular). It also has an ASP.NET Core MVC course. Good luck.

There are endless tutorials on different topics including media queries which sounds like what you are looking for.","subreddit_name":"learnprogramming","author":"eatingdraculasbrain"},{"body":"Look into Pluralsight, Lynda.com or O'reilly learning paths. There's loads of free content online but some teach incorrectly which really annoyed me when I started. Those providers are around 30 bucks per month and usually you can try for 7-10 days free.\r\n\r\nThis is a good starting point if you want to learn from a book. Really breaks down the stuff:\r\n\r\nDuckett HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites - https://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/\r\n\r\nWord of advise you don't have to learn everything. Enough to build site up and you can just learn stuff when needed. Stackoverflow is a friend when you get stuck.","subreddit_name":"The_Donald","author":"MAGACAP"},{"body":"Thanks a ton for the sub, glad you found the video helpful :). Not sure of any tutorials off the top of my head, but this book is a fantastic companion for anyone looking to up their HTML / CSS skills:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189\r\n\r\nVery clear and easy to understand explanations, I haven't come across a better resource yet.","subreddit_name":"webdev","author":"BuffloBEAST"},{"body":"While I agree with /u/MatthewMob for the most part, I think that a book like this one might be very useful for someone starting off:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1485557790\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=html+and+css+book\r\n\r\nIt relies heavily on graphics to describe the components of the html markup and does a great job with CSS properties. \r\n\r\nWhen it comes to CSS, the biggest hurdle for people is understanding the position property (relative, absolute, fixed, static) and how it ties into the box model.\r\n\r\nPersonally I would suggest you learn flexbox from the get-go as it makes layouts incredibly simple.","subreddit_name":"web_design","author":"imacleopard"},{"body":"By far, the most beautiful thing I have touched and own to gently bring a mature person into the craft I find great satisfaction from is HTML \u0026amp; CSS by Jon Ducket. I have it solely to share with others, this book isn't for me.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189\r\n\r\nThe author guy fucking really cared about order of introducing things and the packaging he put it in. The paper quality-- the book is just nice to touch, there is stonking obvious attention to graphical detail.  It makes no sense for me to be saying these things in a normal conversation,  I'm not one of those \"I love books, you'll tear the crusty pages from my dead hands\" guy-- I just don't buy many paper books anymore. I bought this one and it is by far the most luxurious *paperback* I have ever come into contact with just in book binding and construction alone.\r\n\r\nAmazon is charging $17 according to my screen. Worth every god damn penny. Perfect for a mildly computer literate beginner.","subreddit_name":"webdev","author":"BradChesney79"},{"body":"I highly recommend [this book](http://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1452719443\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=html+and+css).

If shown an existing Ruby program you might be able to read a bit of it and change some stuff here and there, but you would be far from any significant changes.\r\n\r\nI, as a full stack developer, don't use Code Academy as a learning resource but as a refresher course kind of thing. When I haven't been using bootstrap too often, I go do the code academy course and relearn the basics in order to smoothly transition into using it on my own.\r\n\r\nBetter alternatives would be an actual book. Go to the library or a book store and find an introduction to web development book. I've heard that this is a pretty good book, http://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1448997572\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=html+for+beginners.\r\n\r\nEdit: Beyond the absolute basics, Code Academy (and other things like it, FCC for example) are basically useless.","subreddit_name":"learnprogramming","author":"anonymousdeveloper"},{"body":"\"camo style\" is not really a thing that your internet browser recognizes.  You'd have to create a picture and set the rules to point to that picture instead.  You'll need to upload an image (you can do that on the same page that you edit the stylesheet) and then tell reddit you want your background-image to be something.\r\n\r\nYou should ask your parents to buy you this book: [HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1118008189/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687582\u0026amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1\u0026amp;pf_rd_t=201\u0026amp;pf_rd_i=1449319270\u0026amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER\u0026amp;pf_rd_r=0ZW0RZ2BAA6ABD6QSXNG).  It's one of the first books I read and it really helped me figure this stuff out.  I know you sort of just want to get your website to look how you want, but you're figuring this stuff out on your own, which means you could probably do a lot more!  People like us get paid to sit at the computer and make websites look how we want, and its a lot of fun.  I worked for a video game company and got to do this all day!","subreddit_name":"csshelp","author":"turikk"}]}
