I do not know the first thing about web development, and now that conventions are all done with, I've got some time to finally learn. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to educate myself to a decent competence in web design? Books? Tutorial websites? A school I can take a class or two at?

Web design as in coding or web design as in making the pages actually look good?

Sadly, they might be connected in ways that are shielded from my personal experience...

...whoops. I mean Web Design as in making a page work good or web design as in making a site look good.

...I guess you mean look good though? Maybe?

Sorry, I didn't clarify. Making it work. I'd like to actually understand the code.

I personally learnt everything I needed from W3C schools, when I transferred Bunny from the older system to the new mySQL database, I used it extensively.

http://www.w3schools.com/

It's run by the standards people, so as far as I am aware, everything is standards-compliant. The reference parts of each language, and the examples in the various sections are pretty good as well.

I can't say that the examples at the *best* way of doing things, but they do give an idea of how the parts work and I've never had a problem with them.

I have files which I could throw in your direction if you wanted something that worked in a very simple manner that you could pick through if you didn't have anything already, I don't know how well annotated they are though, so it might be more of a hindrance than a help. I throw it out there anyway just in case. :)
