This is a critical necessity with me (I have a closed head injury from a
55 mph head-on) so it's important that anything learned is correct the
first time. That means validate all html and css whenever you do your
trial and error. I have had some very strange and (almost) untraceable
results, that were the result of a minor typo, not a logic/understanding
error. Unfortunately, not catching the problem through religiously
validation, caused me to "learn" things that were wrong, that later had
to be un-learned. If time is of the essence, the few seconds it takes
to validate are well worth the investment.
