Does anyone know of any good resources for learning to make web apps (specifically HTML and CSS)? I'm not aiming to be a web designer, I just want to learn to make UIs for dashboards and stuff. Are there any particularly good code-alongs for something like that where they explain the caveats and gotchas?

Ok sure:

HTML, CSS (paying):

On Udemy, there are also tons of other ones related to web design and usability.

HTML, CSS (non-paying):

I don't have anything better for now. Perhaps try Youtube.

Though, there is a problem with your question: HTML and CSS are for document structure and visuals, not for interaction.

A web app consists of minimally an imperative language such as JavaScript to provide dynamic interaction with the user (making it a web app vs web site).

You also seem to be looking for usability, since you want to make good UI's, for which there are good resources on Udemy (paying).

@CaptainRant thank you. I'm in the middle of a Udemy course, but it just touches HTML and CSS. What I'm looking for is something that will actually teach me how to layout a UI. I've done programming in C, C++, and Python, so I know JS will be a breeze. It's understanding how UI development in HTML and CSS works that I need.

I guess you wanna check out this course too https://in.udacity.com/course/...

Laying out your website? Start googling css grid system (pure grid, not flexbox framework)

@devTea It's more me being a stickler for design while not being very good at it and not having a thorough enough understanding of web HTML/CSS to execute the ideas I do have.

@sheeponmeth You're looking for UX design, most definitely.
