Answer 1

Well then i can only recommend http://www.w3schools.com/ combined with http://www.brugbart.com/ and other resourses, I.E. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&fkt=3...

In the world of web design everything isn't located at one place, often you may find all you need on MSDN, but there would also be times where you would be browsing documents on w3c, or searching on google.

Its prefered to learn hand-coding, so beginners should avoid WYSIWYG editors, unlike what a lot of people think, no special and/or expensive applications is needed. Generally all you need is a text-editor, but there are a lot of tools which is useful when hand-coding, I.E. With features like: syntax highlighting, autocomplete, tabbed editing.

Its easier to think of HTML and CSS as being one combined language, most of the HTML Elements and Attributes of presentational value has been deprecated, which means that they generally should be avoided in new websites/documents.

A few things beginners should avoid: Deprecated Attributes/Elements, WYSIWYG Editors, Tables for Layout, div-it-is.

-Div-it-is-

Is known as the practice of using "to many" nested/unnecessary divs to mark up a page. I.E. The practice is mostly foind in pages made by web designers who have stopped using tables for layout.

-WYSIWYG Editors-

Many web designers, experianced as well as beginners, rely to heavily on their development tool to do the thinking for them.

The most common mistakes include abuse of non-breaking spaces to force a paticuler rendering of text. Incorrect usage of tags, I.E. Wrapping everything in pre tags, or nesting headings inside a elements.

-Tables For Layout-

This practice is one of the worse, most table-based layouts can be made with far less markup required, and as such far easier using division elements, along with the relevant CSS properties. CSS based layouts are generally easier to maintain, and easier to make.

-Deprecated Attributes/Elements-

The web is moving forward, any web designer who need to look up the deprecated can easily do so. Usage of these Attributes and Elements is usually only creating a mess in the source code, and making the website/document harder to maintain.
