I learned a lot from reading the documents at the W3C, since they
defined the standards we all use <URL:http://www.w3.org/standards/>.
They are very well written and explain a lot about the architecture of
the Web.

Experiment, observation, and reference to standards.

with off-topic requests; that's a quick way to get a community turn
against you.
