I learned everything first hand. This semester of college I will be taking my first programming class (Intro to javascript).

Just read peoples code line by line, and dont move on until you figure it out. Ask for help.

Re: With lots of you being able to do freelance work, where did you learn?


Thanks for the link Andy.

I'm going to watch these videos as soon as I finishing helping a friend of mine with his site.

Am I correct that the way to go for someone 'new to the game' would be to learn CSS rather than HTML? I was told that by someone in the business.

me too, just sitting for hours and viewing others source code, trying it, with a txt file open on my desktop to copy and paste original code from and to. testing, trial and error, sometimes having to ask a coder friend to bail me out.

w3cschool is a good site too...

Arny, CSS and HTML go hand in hand, your friend probably meant you should learn to use CSS to do the layout on your HTML pages (as opposed to using tables and such)
I totally forgot about webmonkey; that was an awesome site. I think they stopped updating or took it down

Re: With lots of you being able to do freelance work, where did you learn?


I guess maybe he assumed that I knew some HTML.

I'm going to be watching the video that Andy linked me to this morning.

It looks like I can do my own 'home schooling' so to speak and get up to speed on how to do these things

Wow, Kevin Yank is very to the point and precise in his speaking and teaching, I like that.

Andy, is the whole 8 part series that easy to follow?

Re: With lots of you being able to do freelance work, where did you learn?


I've learned it my knowing what I want to achive then googling it until I find the answer.

Don't be affraid to ask for help.

Compare known working code to what you have and try to figure out the differences.

And as said before, View Source is a great tip. ;)
