so my dad told me today that he could give me little pieces off his projects so that i could earn a little cash. He told me i need to at least lean Html, ASP, and C to do these projects.
so i was wondering if you guys could give me some tips or some nice sites where i could learn how to code.

if im not mistaken i need to learn Html first then ASP and finally C.

he tried to explain to me how to make a table in Html today but i didnt understand much, only thing i really remember is how to add columns,rows and how to make a new line while adding text

http://www.w3schools.com/ for Web/HTML, they teach with many examples, easy to understand

HTML you can learn in less than a month no problem
ASP and C will take you atleast a 6 months

learning the base knowledge is not a big deal, but learning how to resolve a problem with algorithm is a different story

well im not in any rush, it will give me something to do in my spare time

You should start with Html if you want to learn something. I'd not say that it is easy. If it was so easy then there would be only valid sites out there. You have to learn how to make a proper valid website, with all the correct tags. w3school is excellent for this.
You should always check your work whether if it's valid or not. This will help you to do so.
I'd recommend to use only Notepad++ and that validator for your studies. WYSIWYG programs are bad and won't give you a valid site.

Ask Fug Dup how he learned.

what do you mean by a valid site? as in all the code is correct?

I used to think that too, then I discovered how to search for documentation.

Documentation only gives the definition for a function/variable/etc.. It's not enough

It's doesn't help you to resolve any problem as said. To do that you need a good forum, where people ask shitload of problems problems everyday.

If you got money, I recommend you the forum http://www.experts-exchange.com/ You can find many solutions for a problem, they also choose the best solution among these solutions.

........

www.msdn.com is your first friend.

Then, for in-depth documentation, look for things like Windows Internals, etc.
