I have a little experience with web design, and I'm somewhat proficient in HTML. But, I'd really like to learn some Javascript and possibly SQL.

I know the internet is a great place to learn stuff, so where do I start?

You ask me for a hamburger.

For a site about web design, Webmonkey is one ugly, ugly webpage.

Once you start to feel good about your abilities in web design, head on over to A List Apart or CSS Zen Garden for a slice of humble pie.

I agree, Webmonkey has been hit with the ugly stick, but their character code page is useful, though I'm sure there are better ones out there. That site isn't bad once you dig into it, the front page is just frickin' horrible.

definitely...

though one of my other usual recommendations wasn't much better...

Web Page Design for Designers (archive.org'd version from 2004)

Sort of in the "Do as I say, not as I Do" category... print designer kludging ideas to web form.
(but tons of useful reference info if you dig into the links on the right and their many subpages...
wondered why Macs and PCs differed in DPI back in the day? Joe knows. Handy tables of default font equivalencies? ditto)

finally redesigned recently... now at least no more horizontal lines or mass italics... following his own advice after at least seven years of glaring eyesore web content masquerading as advice for web designers.

webmonkey once upon a time had cutting edge content and code. the content is still top notch, although much of the groovy code is gone or deprecated (they had a "geek switch" for inline redraw of additional technical info looooong before inline frames or layers or most other methods to do the same)
