Learning HTML and other web skills

If you find boring learning on your own, try the Virtual University, not free but reasonably priced. You will find courses like "Web Page Design for Beginners," "Enhance Your Web Site," "Introduction to CSS," "Javascript for Beginners," or "Introduction to Perl."

There is only a registration fee -check it- and you can enroll in up to four classes. There are no "per class" tuition fees, and most VU courses do not require textbooks. The instructors deliver the lessons each week, and message boards to post homework, chat and exchange homework tips with fellow students.
