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 doesn't answer your question but it is something to keep in mind when doing web development: don't use w3schools as a reference (explanation), something like the Mozilla Developer Network is much better (or one of these other references).
(In fact, I just noticed: Mozilla seems to provide some tutorials, although they don't look like they are the sort of tutorials you are looking for.)
