Hi Sean,
Have a Look on this[^]
Please let me know if any thing need to change. I have alredy updated this article too.

Fantastic idea. If it get fleshed out it could one of the best indexes on the web!
Can we add a section for ASP.NET Best Practices (code, IIS, performance, etc, etc) so that beginners start out doing things correctly instead of doing what we all do these days (reverse engineering our products to see where we're compliant with best practices and where we're not)?

I think it's a great idea. But it's a pretty broad topic. Any ideas on how we can narrow it down?

I suggest that this guide should have javascript walkthrough , using PHP or better yet something like Web Development Black Book style where all essential areas are covered one by one / by glance.

Great idea! What do you think of this for a JavaScript section?

Excellent idea! I've been a programmer for many years, and I don't mind confessing I'll probably use the Beginner's Walk myself. I just won't confess how often.

Great idea.
I think however that the article "CSS For Beginners" by Nongjian Zhou should be updated to being into line with more modern document types (e.g. XHTML). It was written in 2000!
Examples include:
1) Using lower case tags in HTML (table instead of TABLE)
2) Closing tags with "/>" rather than ">"
etc.
(I have mentioned this in the posts under the article itself so sorry for the double post)
What do people think?

You could rewrite the article yourself (with the new features you mentioned) while still giving credit to Nongjian Zhou for his contributions (you might want to check with him before hand though, just to make sure it is ok).

Great idea Thomas. What he has for now is a great start though.

When can we expect actual links?
Thanks.

I guess, as soon as people have found time to write them.
Fancy taking one of them on?

From the CodeProject Newsletter:
"We have a lot of articles. A lot of articles. One thing we don't have, though, is a way to easily point a beginner at an article and provide them with a simple series of articles that will give them a solid foundation. So we decided to put one together. Or more correctly: ask you to put one together.
We have a Table of Contents for Web Development (our first article walk in the series) that is editable by all Silver members and above. What we want you to do is replace the entries in the Table of Contents with links to articles that represent the entries. Alternatively, post suggestions for likely articles in the message board attached to the article.
Find an article that matches an entry and replace the entry with a link to the article, updating the entry's text with the title of the article, and making the entry a hyperlink to that article. If you can't find an article then write one! Find a topic that suits you, author an article, and once it's approved by our members link it from the Table of Contents.
This is not a wiki in the traditional sense. There's no rollback and no versioning. It's an experiment we hope you enjoy."

Thomas Stockwell

I've been around here some time working on a project in C# which I now want to present on the web. I have an old website which I'm revising and expanding. So I'm treating myself as a beginner as far as website construction is concerned.
After looking around for some time, I decided to go for Visual Web Designer as my editing environment. Currently dont need all that ASP stuff, but that will come. The designer is great, but the environment seems not as ripe as VC# Express 2008. Intellisense etc. could be better.
I have also been looking around for a beginners walk in Web Development. Tried very hard, but couldnt find anything really mind-shattering in the English speaking world. But I speak German, and found http://de.selfhtml.org/ which is "the definitive guide" for beginners and experts who speak German. Unfortunately, they say that they have given up on the project to translate the site into English (I'd much rather be reading it in English!). Perhaps there's someone out there who could help? At the very least, its a good model for how to structure such a site. Absolutely indispensable as a reference etc.
best wishes

That's pretty amazing, and a good way to get a general idea of what the site is all about, but I think I'll stick to the well written German, thanks.
Unfortunately, the English translation can be rather obscure, and its annoying to have to stop to work out what it is trying to say. What does this mean, for example:
"As a beginner like HTML you the effort, which is operated as, perhaps not entirely obvious."
(The German is "Als HTML-Anfaenger mag Ihnen der Aufwand, der da betrieben wird, vieleicht nicht ganz einleuchten." - "As an HTML beginner, you may think this effort is a bit exaggerated.")
The site is being actively maintained in German, and I have yet to find any wrong or outdated information there. Many of the existing articles would seem to be exactly what this CodeProject project is looking for - they just need translating properly.

Can we add a new entry in the TOC?

We're open to suggestions, what do you want to put and where do you want to put it?

Just two examples.
CSS Reference which may point to http://reference.sitepoint.com/css
HTML Reference which may point to http://reference.sitepoint.com/html.
If anyone has any better reference, then this sections could be updated with new ones. This could be handy for quick references to particular section in each of the topics.
Thanks..
