Re: Web design career online?

I would [recommend against](http://w3fools.com) w3schools. They are **not** an authoritative institution, and their curriculum is disorganized, incomplete, misleading, and often outright wrong.

(Yes, there is useful information, of course, but it’s not worth trying to sort through the bad parts.)

If you are looking for certifications, w3schools is the wrong place to spend your money. They are not affiliated with the w3c (the web standards body) and their “certifications” are not recognized or valued by employers.

My first recommendation for learning HTML/CSS/javascript is google’s [From The Ground Up](http://code.google.com/edu/submissions/html-css-javascript/) series.
