Yes, I can write very simple HTML & CSS but I can't do complex stuff with out falling back on tools like dreamweaver or cheating and finding pre-written code else where.

With HTML 5 showing it's face these days allowing you to do more complex things as well as CSS and it's complexities in modern layouts, I've been trying top sit down and actually formally learn it. I'd like to later move on to learn Javascript & php but I simply can't seem to stay focused on it.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to stay focused when learning this stuff? Back when I was teaching my self 3D or photoshop, I could spend hours just testing things and experimenting, but I've never been able to do the same when trying to learn to code.

I'm looking for sugestions on how to stay focused on this shit..
