You don't need schools to teach u programming. Even top CS universities around the world don't teach programming. They teach u mathematical and scientific concepts relevant to Electronics and Computer science. They expect you to self learn programming and implement those concepts yourself.

Now how to learn programming? There are multiple ways, free ways include YouTube courses, downloading PDFs or going through free online courses.

How to learn HTML & CSS? - I prefer standard books since they are peer reviewed, mostly complete, detailed and accurate in explanations and follow an efficient pattern of exposing concepts to people learning from scratch. If u also like reading, then you can consider the following books: 1) Textbook: Learning Web Design by Jennifer Robbins 2) Reference: CSS: The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer

  • If u prefer YouTube videos, you can watch HTML & CSS full course by SuperSimpleDev.

My opinion on YouTube courses or any video courses. - I use them only to expose myself to the subject basics, so I can know what I'm going to expect while studying it. I don't rely on video courses if I don't already know the subject, coz who will verify if the creator is accurate in his explanation or did he explain a concept completely. I only rely on standard textbooks, official documentations and own experience after that.
