HTML5/JavaScript/CSS Starting Points

A list of links to resources for the beginning web app programmer.

General

  • Mozilla Developer Network If could only offer a single link for getting started, I don't think I could do any better than this one. From the site:

    We are an open community of developers building resources for a better web, regardless of brand, browser or platform. Anyone can contribute and each person who does makes us stronger. Together we can continue to drive innovation on the Web to serve the greater good. It starts here, with you.

  • Codecademy

  • Nettuts+ - Web Development From Scratch

    This series is for those of you who have zero experience with web design. HTML, CSS, AJAX? What the heck are these acronyms? Step by step, I’ll teach you exactly how to get started in this amazing, but difficult industry.

  • Beginner HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, Backbone, and CSS3 Resources - a great curated set of links.

JavaScript

Douglass Crockford: The JavaScript Programming Language - 2hr presentation (requires a passing familiarity with general programming principles)

Stay Away From

  • w3schools.com - much of the information is out of date and/or just plain incorrect. They've got huge google-fu, though, so watch out when searching for things. ( Tip: Just add 'MDN' to any web dev related search to see what Mozilla Developer Network has to say about things)
