I've always wondered how to learn programming so that I can program my sites for myself instead of having to hire people to do the job for me.

Are there any places that could teach me?

thanks

    If you are really interested in learning the programming then my advice is that u must purchase some refrence books completely based on programming and learn from it whenever you need without harming your precious eyes by spending lots of hours in front of pc screen, because from the books person learn much faster than online websites and from books you will get lots of multiple choice question answers with their coplete method with a single and focused answer.

    w3schools is a must if you are learning online!
    I suggest you learn html/css there, and find some tutor or courses if you are interested in next stage of programming ( PHP, JavaScript, MySql ... ) Because it's a whole different story when you are reading online, and when someone is teaching you!
    You can download books, but you cannot download teacher

      One thing I just had to point out, and keep in mind I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I found this site online and it had some pretty interesting info about w3schools.

      It's w3fools dot com. Give it a look, it points out numerous mistakes in what w3schools has on their site that they have yet to fix.

      I'm not saying don't use w3schools, I'm just putting it out there.

        Good point. The MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) has a metric ton of resources plus a growing learning community. Mozilla is the also the creator of the Firefox web browser, so they have a lot of pull in the web standards community.

        Just Google MDN and you'll find the site! The only thing that sucks about them is that they don't have the interactive lessons that W3 has (yet), but there reference mats are top notch.

        As some of the others mentioned, Codecademy is great and they are expanding to other web languages like Python and Ruby.

        I took a look at w3fools. Not sure what to say. I learnt html and css from w3schools, tizag, and a lot of practice. Everything I learnt was correct and in w3 standard, but it was 3 years ago so they might have changed
        But I believe that for html and css which are basics in web programming they can't go wrong :/

    phpacademy is a great site for learning php, javascript, and some html/css. Keep in mind that it's .org and not .com.

    I'm not allowed to post links yet, otherwise I would have posted the whole thing.

    Good luck!

    So far I have started learning at the codeacademy.com, they are quite good at teaching me so far, they are quite interactive and helpful.

    The only problem sometimes, is that if I don't know the answer there is only a hint & I don't know how to do it properly, if it's a tough one.

    Web programming, start with the basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript. Then branch into PHP to learn to create those dynamically.

    There are many online sources:
    - Tutsplus
    - Lynda
    - w3schools

    You need to setup local server to learn better and test your code locally, this is much faster than using online site.

    W3Schools or Tizag, both have pretty good PHP tutorials. You may also want to learn html/css, to make the design of your site.

    You could always try college. Otherwise, if you've never programmed before, you're better off just hiring someone. Most people who you'll hire have either gone to school or else devoted years of their lives to programming.

    I don't think anyones mentioned this yet: learnable.com - it's $17 per month but it's great, they have courses set out in hour - 2 hour lessons. Each lesson has videos presented by the course teacher, tutorials, and example code for you to work with on each lesson. They have courses for dozens of programming languages. I'm 34% of the way through the JavaScript course and it's working well!
