Getting Started HTML
Getting Started HTML
The internet user's guide to HTML & CSS
About the Book
You are an internet user, but that's about it. You want to change that. You want to make things! And you're not talking about typing a few paragraphs into a blog post; you want to make something completely unique and all your own! You've come to the right place.
Every site you visit on the internet is made up of HTML and CSS. They are the language of the internet. If you've never even seen code before it can look like a completely foreign unreadable language.
If I've just described your situation this is the book for you. I assume no prior knowledge: if you know how to visit websites, you can understand this book.
You won't be creating the next Facebook after reading this book. I keep it very simple: you're going to create a basic page with a simple but neat style. I want to provide you a basic foundation so that when you go out onto the internet to learn more advanced stuff on your own you can actually understand it!
To make these concepts even easier to understand, there's a series of YouTube videos directly correlating to the content of the book. By buying the book, you also get access to downloadable copies of the books for your convenience!
This book is a work in progress, but that's why you should buy it! Your feedback will directly influence the final product and make it better.
