Intro to HTML
HTML is the building block of everything you see on the web, from search engines to e-commerce sites, from news blogs to your Facebook page. Everything on the web starts with HTML. A fundamental understanding of HTML is a necessary foundation for anyone looking to build sites on the Internet. In this course, we'll introduce you to the basics of hypertext markup language, including proper syntax and structure, basic tags, forms, tables, and web standards. We'll even take a brief look at CSS, to give you a taste of what's next after HTML.
