On: Ask HN: Resources for learning HTML

http://dev.opera.com/articles/wsc/

This is an interesting take on learning things right the first time around (the historyof HTML has been riddled with right and wrong ways to do things).

Since HTML alone doesn't suffice anymore, "Head First HTML, XHTML and CSS" is a pretty good place to get started.

Good Luck!

Thanks for this link. There seem to be quite a few useful articles there.
