Yes, Jimbobs link is what I use most frequently.

There is an awful lot on there, so just keep to 1 section to start with, and worry not about ASP(X), PHP, Perl and so on for now.

Brilliant site.  Still playing about on the edit page, seems the simplest way to learn being able to type and see the result side by side.   . . . Keeps me out of mischief

For learning about coding I can heartily recomend a Raspberry Pi/Arduino.  The former can even run it's own web server if you want to do your own website :y

Temping but one step at a time.  :-\

I have seen the raspberry kits for sale  and have considered them but saw the Pine A64 mentioned a couple of weeks ago, maybe worth looking into. :y

I mentioned programing earlier in this thread, and Guffers has just mentioned the Raspberry.


I have been playing with the idea of buying a desktop CNC engraver, router or laser etcher over the years (thats as far as it gets most times)  and now there are 3D printer and scanners, maybe learning the web design might also get me interested in writing code to run programs one day, allthough maybe very different in the way each is written the principle behind all the input seems similar.

The Raspberry Pi is a great device to play with for learning certain types of web programming. If looking for a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl) its not bad, expecially the Raspberry Pi 2 (about £28). Just leave it headless somewhere.

I would use nginx in place of Apache though, for performance/resource reasons.
