About the Course

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have the code, but how do I put it on the web to share with others?). Throughout the course there will be a strong emphasis on adhering to syntactic standards for validation and semantic standards to promote wide accessibility for users with disabilities. This course will appeal to a wide variety of people, but specifically those who would like a step-by-step description of the basics. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is assumed that students have no prior programming skills or IT experience. The course will culminate in a small final project that will require the completion of a very simple page with links and images. The focus of this course is on the basics, not appearance. You can see a sample final HTML page at https://example-site-1--wd4ehtml.repl.co/ . This is the first course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization. Subsequent courses focus on the marketable skills of styling the page with CSS3, adding interactivity with JavaScript and enhancing the styling with responsive design....

Me gusto mucho, eso si, los términos específicos en inglés, si bien son sencillos, pueden ser confusos. Es necesario dominar el idioma para tomar este curso.

This was a good course for an HTML begineer. Although it was not into very deep thoughts. But it explains everything you need to do make a perfect html code.

The course can be improved a bit. Like, there can be some reading materials with the codes shown in the video. But, the course design was cool. Thanks a lot.

Great basic introduction to HTML. This was mostly a refresher for me given I've written HTML before but I did learn a few new things so it was well worth it.
