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?
Look into web hosting. If you feel a strong need to pay nothing, x10hosting fit the bill several years ago when I felt that way. WebFaction is supposed to be good for Django. Linode could be good if you want to do a lot of difficult system administration first, which will allow you to create far more flexible setups later on. In general, just googling around for hosting opportunities is probably better than listening to me.
