HTML and CSS for Absolute Beginners

Hi guys, I’m Dan. I am a self-taught programmer with about 10 years of experience of coding for the web, during which I’ve worked on websites and web applications for high-profile clients including Bank of America, EBay, and Deloitte. I currently run Codestart Academy, an online school which helps beginners learn to code.

As someone who learned programming outside an academic environment, I know how overwhelming it can be to start from zero knowledge. One of the things I am good at is helping to break things down into the pure essentials so that you don’t end up feeling lost and confused.

In this mini course, I’ll help you learn the very basics of HTML and CSS - the foundational building blocks of the web, to help get your coding journey off the ground.

By the end of this short mini course, hopefully you’ll not only have a better idea of why HTML and CSS are important and what you can do with them, but you’ll actually have something to show for your new knowledge. We’re going to build a simple website for a fictional character, but you can customize what we build for your personal brand or business.

We’ll go over:

• What HTML, CSS, and JavaScript do and why you should learn them

• The basic structure of a web page in HTML

• Basic HTML elements such as paragraphs, images, and lists

• Modifying the look and feel of your web page with CSS

• Adding JavaScript to make your web page interactive

And more!
