Best ways to learn html, css etc

[Scorp]

Hi I'm new here and my name is Ryan
I'm 13 and I'm interested in learning html and css. I'm not sure how to learn though. Should I use w3schools or are text books better? Thanks in advance

w3schools for beginners.

I've always used w3schools and pre-made designs. I used a pre-made design to see how the code was structured but then used w3schools (and other useful sites) to explain the code in more detail.

Overall, I did learn more during the time of editing line by line of code, and seeing what the effects were!

A bit of both, everybody learns differently.
However, trial and error is the key to success

It's good for basics, if you wanna learn more advanced items.. I'd find somewhere else.

I learnt the basics from there. Then I progressed by slowly making my own etc and now (without blowing my own trumpet) I'd say it worked fairly well. Like

To be honest, it can make you lazy. However, I started with dreamweaver (only code and referring to design when I was seriously stuck) to start off with, then when I became confident enough I went on to text editors like Notepad++ and Brackets.

Try out a few different methods and see which you prefer, best of luck pal

said, trial and error is what matters. You can try downloading pre-made themes/sites, then edit them and play around with the design... if you love messing and fixing, then that's the best way.

Definitely use w3schools.com
Then I suggest coding a few test sites... and playing around that way

W3Schools provides a base-line Tutorial for most languages, if not all.

It may not go into much depth, but it's good for starting out.

MDN's a better, more up-to-date resource.

Never heard of MDN, I learnt to code:
HTML
CSS
PHP
with W3schools, I'm still learning advanced PHP, but good at the rest,
