HOW IS THIS COURSE DIFFERENT?

My name is Kathleen, and I've been teaching technology to beginners under the moniker Robobunnyattack! since 2009. I believe that with the right approach, anyone can learn anything.

My goal in this course is to help you develop an intuitive understanding of how HTML and CSS work.

In this course, we'll create a simple "Coming Soon" webpage using valid HTML5 and CSS3 code. As we work together, I'll explain WHY the code we write looks the way it does. I'll point out the simple patterns in the code, so you can learn more quickly and with more confidence.

As we build our webpage, we'll cover:

• What tools you need to write HTML and CSS, and how to use them
• How to use HTML to organize and manage the content of your webpage
• How to use CSS to control the presentation or "look" of your webpage
• How web publishing works, and how to get your HTML and CSS files from your computer onto the web
• How to use lots of other helpful and free web building tools, including code validators, free icon libraries, color scheme generators and more

By the end of this course, you'll be able to use HTML and CSS with confidence, following best practices every step of the way.
