How did you learn coding? Internet or a book? I'm apparently using a book to make me learn HTML  I am Learning XHTML as well as Web design.

I did try and learn from a book, but books suck. All I learned was a vague history of JavaScript. I mostly learned through trial, error, and watching other coders' methods.

Depends what you're learning. For me, it went like this.
Basics of HTML - Book
CSS - self-taught and a few tutorials for more advanced things
More advanced HTML - self-taught by viewing the source of sites
Basic JavaScript - self-taught by changing things in codes and seeing how they reacted differently
Advanced JavaScript - tutorials mainly.
I only used a book originally, and it didn't do me much good really.

I don't even see the point of buying a book, especially when there are so many resources online. Not only is it cheaper, but it's interactive (like w3school's Tryit Editor).

I basically learned the same was as Yami did. Basics from a book (including basic MySQL) and then I learned more advanced things from online sites and trial and error.

HTML - Learned it from various websites & tutorials for school. CSS - Just kind of learned it. JavaScript - Taught it to myself and got help from others. PHP & MySQL - Same as JavaScript, taught myself and got help from others. Still learning, though.

I try and teach myself stuff, but you'd be amazed at how many things don't work, even though they follow the pattern of regular JavaScript. Like, not 10 minutes ago I was trying to put an array in an array, but when I tried to call it, I kept getting errors. I checked the SZ source, and wah-lah, I figured it out. Now, why on Earth would you have to store the contents the slot of the array into another variable, in order to the array that's in it? Note: If I totally lost you there, and you are actually interested in knowing what I was talking about, then go to sz-ex.com/v1/coding/mfoot.js and do a search for "var y =", it's the 3rd line

Html: Taught myself from viewing what other people do
Css: Same as Html
Javascript: same as Html and Website tutorials
Php: Website Tutorials
C++: Books and Website Tutorials
Most of the languages I barly know, the only ones I know good/semi-good are C++ and Html.

HTML: I stole different snippets of code from Neopets Guild site, and mixed them all into my own. CSS: Same as above, except I used some tutorials as well. Javascript: Again, I stole different snippets of codes from different sites I've been to that has javascript. Then I just edited them - Trial and Error. PHP: Started on the book, "Sam teach yourself PHP in 21 days", except I finished the book within two days. Then I went downloading different scripts (phpBB, SMF, the then-free IPB and several others), and read them all, file by file.

LMFAO!!!!!!! ok, really sorry to drag up old threads, but you just wouldn't believe how relevant this all is to me at this moment in time. I work for two rock bands. I do some of the web stuff for one of them and all of the web stuff for the other. So far, I've been blagging very successfully. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I was given a website to sort out that no one else could understand. I had to call in the help of a professional friend, sorted now. The thing is, I have absolutely NO idea what i'm doing. I understand how to place codes, where to place codes and how to get things working, I know about the cross browser stuff. I just don't know HOW... So, I can't afford to go back to college, books bore me and online tutorials make me fall asleep in under ten seconds. Anyone want to move in here for a couple of weeks and teach me? I get things immediately when a real person explains stuff haha I'm so out of my depth here!!!
