Books: Beginning HTML, published by Wrox
Beginning XHTML, published by Wrox
As you go along, HTML will not be enough. CSS, Flash, JavaScript will be used. Once you are competent in creating websites, look for this book in the library:
Professional Web Design: Techniques and templates. It's a rather thick book, but it teaches you to create websites which are attractive.
W3 Schools website teach you all these as well, you can slowly learn. To learn Flash, there's a very good site.

All your Flash basics.
I don't have any links for networking, but have some books to recommend.
1) Networking Foundations (black in colour)
2) CCNAB (Cisco Certified Network Associate Basics). There are 2 books for this, networking basics are inside these 2 books. Published by Cisco.
3) IP Addressing and Subnetting including IPv6, published by Syngress.
4) IP Addressing Fundamentals, published by Cisco.
For PC Repairs, try getting books from Thomson about A+ Certification. Other books about A+ Certification are good too, just don't get a bible or passport kind of books. There's another one titled Bigelow PC Hardware, a very complete book to PC repair. Everything about hardware.
If you want to pick up those skills, you can enroll in ITE. Dover ITE has the course. Enroll in the Higher Nitec (Information Technology). -
"Dummies Guide...." or "Idiots Book...."

if you're looking for short courses such as A+ cert, html, photoshop etc, try MDIS.Originally posted by enemychaser:html, networking, PC repairs (the more chim stuff, assembling comps liddat easy to do wad) etc?

Thanks guys. I'm actually in a JC and taking my A'levels next year, so was hoping to pick up these kinda stuffs during my spare time, sorta like a part-time thingy as an interest.
Great list there, ndmmxiaomayi, but the ITE stuff, I'll pass for now -
i think you better concentrate on your A-levels first..as for html, networking etc no need any particular course to take if you are not going to make computer science your ricebowl. i don't even have an A-level and when i first started using computers and the internet i don't see myself asking stuff like that in a forum under the IT technical column... the internet and the world's the class room...dun they teach that in JC?Originally posted by enemychaser:Thanks guys.

besides, if got time look for these sorta stuffs, why not just ask and use that time to learn them -
i see you are really a noob .... u cannot learn anything about html, networking or even building a computer by asking with your attitude you think you are smart can go very far in life but there's a limit trust me that you can go. you could hav gone further but if you keep up with this 'corner-cutting' behaviour when you encounter a real prob your a gonerOriginally posted by enemychaser:aiya, A'levels next year then I start pia...

now u wanna enjoy life? try working 10 years hard and enjoy life there after rather than suffer at an older age...what u now still drinking parents' milk arh hehe -
We don't spoonfeed IT students. You have to explore everything yourself. If you run into problems while exploring, they will help you. But if you expect codes to come out from them, then, no way.Originally posted by enemychaser:aiya, A'levels next year then I start pia... Must enjoy life while I still can right?

Most IT professionals are self-taught.

Ok, I'll those advice in mind. I'm learning these stuffs mostly as an interest, and kinda needed somewhere to start off from, just no idea where. Guess I'll needa start adapting to not rely on others too much, just abit hard to shake that habit after all that many years of being spoonfed non-stop... (which brings us to the topic of whether our education system is truly competitive, but that's out of point here )

i learned myself by opening up my PC and observing. and from then on, everything try it out myself.
i guess if u're really interested u will do the same.

I get your point. I'm not that naive enough to seriously expect everything to be done for me, if not, I'll probably be in a pretty miserable state right now. The spoonfeeding part was meant as a joke, in case you didn't get it, which means I need to brush up on my sense of humour a bit moreOriginally posted by newmanmback:no our education nothing wrong...yr mindset hav to change that's all. teacher dun teach you to ask friends to do everything for you when you got prob. and from your post you also dun know what's "interest". -
