I was recently asked to help someone find a good place to learn HTML code and Photoshop slicing. They asked:

"Hey Joseph, need some advice! Thinking of doing a short course in HTML formatting and basic web design. The type where you can make illustrations on Photoshop and make blog templates…thus the need to learn html formatting. Any suggestions on what type of course I should look for...and what the name of such a course would be?"

If you want a way to watch some free videos on the process of Photoshop slicing to HTML you can always sign up for a free Lynda.com account. With a trial account you cannot download the lesson files, but if you are smart you can just follow along with the video. You also do not have access to all the videos either. If you are going to spend money (more advisable) then I would still go with Lynda.com. I believe you can get a monthly account for around $25. If one is diligent and hard working one could go through all the HTML and Photoshop slicing videos in one month.

The next and most important thing for working with HTML is validation. When you have your site online copy the web address and go to http://validator.w3.org/, then paste the address in the address box and click on "Check". This will tell you if your code is valid for modern web standards per w3c.
