Question

I'm interested in learning web coding. I'm a computer science student with minimal background in Java and a little bit of HTML understanding. I have no clue where to begin learning about web coding languages, networking, etc. I'm currently running OSX Snow Leopard, tried to set up Apache but had some issues. Where do I begin learning?

Answer 1

Well there are many ways to learn languages online including C++,Java,HTTP,etc.

The few options you can take is to go to the library and check out specific guides teaching you them (not recommended).

Or you can go check out this site : http://www.highercomputingforeveryone.com/

It's a free learning course on computer languages, I haven't used it before but the reviews seem nice. They use YouTube videos to demonstrate lessons and have a forum for more specific problems on reddit.

Answer 2

checkout this site,i think u would get help
http://www.w3schools.com/

Answer 3

As Muhammad.Ateeq.Azam stated, www.w3schools.com pretty much provides the standards (or explains them fairly well) for HTML and many other web languages. They have some nifty tutorials which will get you started as well.

If you are interested in running your own web server too, I would recommend a LAMP type setup. I'm not sure if I'm using quite the right acronym, but basically it is a pre-packaged/configured suite which usually includes Apache/MySQL DB Server and much more. That would offer a quick and easy setup for you.

If you still want to play with Apache, I would highly recommend reading the entire setup/config file (refer to the docs.apache website) and check the log after you try to run the server. The log usually does a great job of giving you an idea of what needs attention!

I learned many years ago by using MS Frontpage and designing the way it looked, and then diving into the source code to see how it worked.

Answer 4

you can use the website i.e
