Looking for a basic, beginner's guide to creating a website

[ronmexico]

I know this is a bit off topic...but quick question:

I am interested in learning more about creating my own website (without iWeb), but have very little time in my schedule. Are there any books that give a good basic tutorial for learning code that are easy for a beginner to understand. Perhaps a "Websites for Morons" series. :)

If you want to learn the basics to do web sites then I would recomend Wrox's Begining Web Programming with HTML, XHTML, and CSS or, Head First HTML with CSS and XHTML. They may require a little more work than some of the "For Dummies" stuff but at the end of the day, and this is opionion, you have usable knowledge.

Not a book, but a great place from the beginning to the advanced: http://www.w3schools.com/

There are also some good tips (for beginner (http://webmonkey.com/webmonkey/frontdoor/beginners.html) through master) at the old Webmonkey (http://webmonkey.com/webmonkey/index.html)

Am I really supposed to trust them to teach me good UI?
