Shamelessly crowdsourcing the availability heuristic: I'm trying to learn web development and have been looking for resources to learn it on my own. My goals are fairly modest; I'd like to make basically static pages and a few forms.
So far I've tried HTML/CSS tutorials, which were approachable and fun to play around with offline, but did not offer step by step instructions on how to translate that online. I also tried the Udemy course, which was great on lesson 1, but gratuitously racheted up the complexity on lesson 2 with unexplained Python code.
So, thus far, there's plenty of materials but they tend to skip some inferential distance when approached by a total noob. Does anyone have recommendations for a lesson plan that can take me all the way there?
This is the gold standard. It will both give you your goals very quickly (
rails project-name,cd project-name,rails generate scaffold my-page ...where...is some arguments to the scaffold generator that you'll have to look up and tailor to fitmy-page) and give you, eventually, formidable knowledge on arguably the best web development platform going.This is tackled by the rails tutorial - in the process of following the tutorial you will actually, step by step, host your website on an external provider and visit it in your browser like everybody else.
