Wonderful post! I have been a web designer for about 5 years now, so I’m not quite a beginner, but there are TONS of wonderful things that I will be learning from these resources. Thanks for pulling all of them together in one place.

Nice work! Really helpful list.

Awesome work, very useful even if your not a beginner! Thanks,

Great library for every web design specialist (beginer or professional). Thanks for sharing.

It’s always nice to a have reminder about some of those reference sites, and its also brilliant to see some new ones.

Thanks for sharing.

This is really useful. I am forwarding the link to my teenage son who has taught himself – mainly using w3schools.com. I am sure he will get benefit from some of these other websites too.
Thanks

big list but awesome thank you

One thing I can recommend is focusing on one thing at a time….a lot of people try to take on more than they can chew in the beginning.

First focus on honing your design skills, and outsource the rest. Get a good development team that can help you convert your PSDs into a website and it will make the dreams feel a little closer.

Whenever you are trying to learn a new skill you need reinforcement. If you try to learn design / development at the same time, it will be a while before you see something that makes you say WOW i can do this!

it’s important to feed the ego…..

Great collection. Through your collection I get HTML related site it is very much useful for me. Before many time I find HTML related site but I think now I get best sites from your collections.

Thanks a Lot.

Wish these sites existed when i was learning. Then I wouldn’t have had to spend my minimum wage pay to buy over-priced books. Thanks or the postings. I’m bookmarking this page for the newbies I might run into!

Another great source for those who wants to be webmasters is:
Webmaster Video School

Hope that will be useful for you…

Very useful collection of ressources!!

Another great resource is DevCheatSheet.com.

Free cheat sheets for developers and designers including cheat sheets for HTML, CSS, Fonts, Color, and many more.

Awesome stuff and very useful. Thanks for sharing

I have to say these tutorials are awesome. It’s amazing some really great people share these resources here. Thanks.

This is a really impressive list of tutorials. I was actually a member at tuts+ for a while, and their material is really top notch. They don’t take any shortcuts with their stuff. I highly recommend them. Let me know if anyone has any questions about their program.

I personally think that this post is not only useful for the beginners but the professionals should also keep track of these resources. Hope all of them will like it. All the best.

Wow what a list!… This is a great page to bookmark for reference, thanks for sharing.

Very nice & useful collection guys!!

Thank you for your share. They are nice resource for me.

Thanks for sharing. Very useful collection of links. Nice post. But I think now the web design is more complex “science”. You miss here the resources about consumer online behavior.

Really usefull info. Thanks..

Thank you for your share. They are nice resource for me.

I’m not a web designer, not even a beginner. I have negative zero knowledge on web designing. I went to the basic HTML tutorial of W3Schools and tried the tutorial exercises and indeed I was able to create my first web page. You may be laughing but this really is my first time and I did it. This is just the first in the list. I’m sure there are much more to see and learn down the list. I’m bookmarking this, try them when I have the time and who knows you may stumble on my own website someday. This is a very useful list especially for those without any background on HTML like me. Thanks.

Good collection of beginner in web design. But I think whoever starts today so that only a hard road ahead of him. Web design has become very complex, I myself have grown into first started in the 90′s it.

But now no one should rob the joy of learning, but so has everyone who starts today and runs through even my respect.

I’m a beginner, so i think this will help me, ty Vandelay.

W3Schools is my favourite site.

Thanks.. i think this would be very helpful and wonderful tutorial for all the beginners as well as for those who are having no knowledge at all..could start within no time..

very very helpful data indeed.. thankx man update my design knowledge….
