Does anyone know any good tutorials on web development?

Moved to creative.

W3CSchools are pretty good in my opinion, just don't go too far deep into their tutorials before starting to try things out.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/
http://www.w3schools.com/css/
http://www.w3schools.com/js/

It's also best to learn the three languages side by side instead of boring yourself with one language.

There are also other more interactive tutorials, but I hate the forced practical experimentation that they contain. I usually prefer to work on something I am interested in, but I can also keep myself interested in reading really boring and long docs. So it all depends on how you learn.
http://www.codecademy.com/ is one of the popular ones I have heared about, I never checked it myself but I really recommend you to try it out.

I've used codecademy and its pretty good but it limits you a little. Like you have to finish a tutorial before moving on to the next thing.

I always look at W3Schools if I forgot something. And for inspiration i use SitePoint

W3 is useful if you know the language but forgot something simple. Codecademy is a great place to start. Stackoverflow is good if you need help with harder coding stuff

i play lightbot its super duper kool for learning coding progammar stufs

Except that I find playing lightbot way harder and more restrictive than actual coding. In real programming languages, you can be very lazy because of the many tools you have available, and then expect the compiler to optimize and make up for your laziness.

Oh and another way of learning web development is by looking other other people's code. This is very easy in html because you can access the source code with just two clicks in the browser.

This. Great way to learn what does what. I was going to suggest this but thought it would be misconstrued.

i know two such sites where you can learn website development.

Codecademy

Codecademy offers HTML, CSS(the thing used to add style to html), JavaScript and Python.

Advantages: Teaches pure JS instead of website JS. This JS cannot be used as such in websites but can help in understanding EE coding better. You will be able to understand everything they teach because it is a very systematic way of teaching they follow. If you do not understand a particular topic, you can go to the Q&A Forum and search there.

Disadvantages: Pure JS cannot be used in websites. It takes some time to learn coding in Codecademy. The HTML does not include text boxes, buttons and all the things which require coding as in C#.

W3Schools

W3Schools allows you to learn almost every language on the web.

Advantages: W3Schools has all the features available in the particular language. You can learn the languages really fast but still go through all the features of the language.

Disadvantages: The lessons may contain things which you have not learnt there yet. The first lesson contains code that can change an image and compare it with another one which is hard for a first lesson. Also, they do not explain the things which you have not encountered at that spot. You will have to go back and forth again and again to understand it fully.
