WELCOME
I have realize that in recent times more and more people are interested in creating website. However, unlike writing an article for a newspaper or using a word processor like wordpad or Microsoft word you need to learn how to code that article or message in HTML and CSS or any other text markup language,which doesn't come that easy.
I decided to write this site to educate and offer assistance to anyone eager and ready to learn website development. In this site I will share with you books, websites, videos among others and my observations when I was learning as a self-taught programmer. I won't actually call it self-taught cause one-way or the other I got assistance from the internet, books and websites which of course were created by someone. I didn't wake up one day and learn to code out of the blues.
WEBSITES
Websites like Code academy, Udemy, Alison, are some of the few sites i recommend. However there are equally good site that may be of help or substitute to those i recommend.Most of this sites demand you pay to begin learning, others offer free tution but you will have to pay for advance lessons.
VIDEOS
Of course the best site get video is Youtube. Youtube offers myriad of video content for free. Even on website development there are plethora of videos to choose from which may be overwhelming at times. Therefore i recommend you download videos that offer easy and clear approach for beginners on basic concepts of website development.
APPLICATIONS
There are two different types of application that i will talk about. Application that will help you develop or write the code(text editors) and application that would help you learn how to code(tutoruals). For PC and MAC users a text editor has already been provided. Windows users can use the notepad and Mac users can use the textedite. However, you can download a third party text editor which will do the work just fine or even better. I recommend the following third party apps for PC and MAC users:
1.Atom. 2.VusualStydio Code 3.Bracket 4.Sublime 5.Vim 6.Notepad ++ for PC users 7.Textmate for MAC users
For android users the following text editors will do just fine. It will fascinate you to know that i wrote the whole of this site on my android phone.
1.Android Web Developer (AWD) 2.Droid Edit 3.anWriter HTML Editor 4.QuickEdit 5.Turbo Editor 6.Quoda Code Editor
I cannot speak for iphone users cause i use android. But i believe some of this apps may have their IOS version otherwise, there are apps made for IOS users that would do just fine. Moving forward, on my subsequent update of this site i would make available IOS compatible text editors.
For applications that would help you learn web development get:
1.W3school offline 2.Css easy 3.HTML5 easy. 4.Solo Learn (web application)
You can get them on the playstore for free.
Hardware It is good you don't need that much hardware to learn HTML and CSS all you need is a laptop,you don't need a laptop with a powerful graphic and RAM. You can also use your smartphone.

HARDWARE
It is good you don't need that much hardware to learn HTML and CSS all you need is a laptop, meanwhile, you don't need a laptop with a powerful graphic and RAM. You can also use your smartphone to create a website but bare in mind websites that require very high resolution graphics and video content may not be successful and note you may end up crashing your phone.
ADVICE
To code you must be dedicated, you must be involve in it . Be eager and sure you want to code and dedicate your time and your resources to learning all that is at least necessary. if you come across things like terms,processes,rules etc make sure you make enough research on it until you understand. To those who want to be self taught the internet should be your closet friend you need to search and search till you get the right information. Ask questions from experts and people who are already into website development. As you learn things may get difficult from level to level most people give up in the early stages, this is where you need to persistent and diligent and press on even harder.
I hope this site would be useful,inspiring and resourceful to you. Moving on i hope to educate myself more in website development cause i believe am still a newbie. I will also develop few more sites and and improve this site. Thank you. Hope you love.
