Want to learn how to make a web page...where to start?

[whatthefunk]

As the title says, I want to learn how to make my own webpage. Unfortunately, my webpage building experience is limited to building my own Geocities page back in the day. I dont want a what-you-see-is-what-you-get program, I want to do it from scratch. Can somebody point me in the right direction? What should I be studying? Any good guide recommendations?

Ah, by scratch! That's much more fun then with a wysiwyg-editor, and gives much more control. The first two languages you should learn are html and css. And for a lot of things JavaScript is necessarily too, at least some basics. You still can without JavaScript, but that's getting harder and harder.

Lots of tutorials online are very outdated or of very bad quality. You could lend or buy books, but they become outdated very fast too.

For html and css here are some good quality tutorials/courses (all for free and all in English):
http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/web
https://courses.tutsplus.com/free/
http://learn.shayhowe.com/html-css/

For JavaScript:
http://www.kirupa.com/html5/learn_javascript.htm
http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript

http://www.w3schools.com/ has a lot of tutorials about everything you can think of.

But I would start with http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/1...standards-cur/
The last one treats css and html and JavaScript together. It's a bit outdated, but it's quality is so good, I still recommend it. It's a step-by-step tutorial (goes the same for the other tutorials). The tutorial points to a new wiki, but I still think this tutorial is the best one to start learning. There are a few things outdated, but not many. Those few things are easily learned afterwards. (It's mainly the doctype.)

I asked a similar question a while ago and got some really helpful responses:
