I have been using the site http://www.w3schools.com/ for quit some time now, and i really really like it it helps allot if your a beginner and has allot to offer if you have some webdesign knowledge. At W3Schools you will find all the Web-building tutorials you need, from basic HTML and XHTML to advanced XML, SQL, Database, Multimedia and WAP W3 publishes a series of tutorials, though most web developers are unaware of it. Mainly, though, W3C's site houses a collection of proposals, drafts, and Recommendations, written by geeks for geeks. And when I say geeks, I don’t mean ordinary web professionals like you and me. I mean geeks who make the rest of us look like Grandma on the first day She's Got Mail. so have a problem with your code? Check it out! regards, Erickie

Yeah W3Schools is pretty neat. They've helped me out of a couple of times, but for me, when I'm having a problem with my code that I just can't seem to resolve, nothing seems to work better than the good old fashioned method of googling your issue.

I've also used w3schools a lot...my friend recommended it to me when I was first learning PHP. For that language though, I find the php.net site is much more comprehensive (of course). I also like the site htmlgoodies.com as a reference for html/css/basic cgi related stuff.

In terms of books offering good web building information, I like anything published by O'Reilly. The cookbooks are particularly interesting; it was how I got into Perl.
