Honestly if you just sit down at night like you are now you could learn a lot in about 1-2 hours or how long you have free time. Just practice righting the codes a lot with variation to make it a more desirable experience and checking the output and making sure it's what you want. If you have questions just post them here as there are multiple people with great coding experience on here.

you can like learn javascript i have to restart.... >:( oh well. but yeah you can learn javascript and take your time there are different lessons and you can take it day by day. what i would do is draw out a schedule. do this this and this take a break for an hour if you get frustrated or can't figure it out. but just take your time and learn.


So you're saying I should start with Javascript and then move on to other languages? Will that make it a bit easier for me to learn?

you can basically start with any language...
i personally wouldn't start with C# or VB as they are windows dependent but hey two each his own.

just remember dedication.


I don't think a Windows dependency is a good reason to disqualify C# or VB.NET.

I mean, it could be a disqualifier if you don't have Windows, but I think that a language that is system-dependent gets better service on the system it is dependent on. I can say that even the express version of Visual Studio is among the nicest (if not the nicest) IDE I've ever used. Setting up and installing is easy, getting started programming with it is easy, for a beginner it has everything you need, the configuration is fairly simple, the layout is nice, and I could probably go on for quite some time. Also, the support system around it is quite nice. .NET is growing in popularity, and Windows is the most popular operating system (also you have options like Mono if you were so inclined). Also, there's a lot of great, free resources online, many of which cater to beginners. Plus, you can use XNA and develop for the Xbox or Windows phone if you were so inclined.

I have used some of those sites before and they are EXTREMELY helpful and I recommend them and I'm sure they do as well. If you have questions feel free to come here and ask on the forums because Epic? will usually be one of the first to respond and help in any way possible along with other members that are very helpful. They have helped me a lot when I don't understand something.

Also there are new fun sites that teach you how to code. Check out...

TeamTreeHouse

or

CodePupil

I learned html and css pretty quickly using both sites.

I wouldn't say you can be an expert just from w3school, but of curse that depends on what we define as an "expert".

What am doing right now to learn HTML and CSS is working with some theory (ebooks etc) along with watching youtube tutorials. The once from thenewboston is recommended. (remember to see his new HTML tutorials instead of the older once)

Grab a pencil and a book to take notes to make learning much for effective Winky Winky That's the way I would recommend to learn HTML.
