Ø Getbootstrap.com — If you want to learn bootstrap I cannot suggest a better source than the official website itself. Bootstrap being the revolutionary technology for creating responsive websites is a must have skill in 2017. The website features detailed explanation for how to get started with bootstrap, CSS and grid system, including each and every component with a clean and easily understandable code which you can directly copy and modify for your projects. It also contains some example templates which you can download, modify, create your own stuff and learn.

Ø DASH — If you want to develop some cool projects while you simultaneously learn to code then this is the website for you. Featuring 5 projects using technologies HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, it provides users with hands on knowledge of technologies and at the end of the course you have 5 projects which you can showcase. I recommend this website if you have basic working knowledge of HTML and CSS.

Ø Mozilla Development Network — If you want to get comfortable with web technologies this website features easy to understand and detailed articles starting from HTML, CSS and ranging till Server side scripting using Python and Django. The content is precisely arranged and curated by experts at Mozilla Foundation and is worth reading. But if are looking for numerous detailed examples which you can try out then and there, then this is not the website for you. Though the website implants the theoretical knowledge in the reader and gives clear view of syntax.
