How Did You Learn Web Design?

What methods did you guys use to learn web design and coding? I have created some designs in photoshop, but I dislike slicing them apart and coding them from there. I just recently started learning to code and make sites function, but there are so many standards to learn I am in a bit over my head.

Where would you suggest a novice designer go to learn the basics of design, coding, and marketing?
