Course Description

This HTML 5 course is designed to help you master the fundamentals of HTML while creating a basic, yet complete and functional, website. HTML, HyperText Markup Language, is a fundamental building block of the world wide web. HTML is a standard markup language for information to be displayed in a web browser. It tells your web browser what each part of a website structure is. It defines website headers, paragraphs, links, images, and more. In this beginner course, you will learn the fundamentals of HTML 5.

In an increasingly tech-driven world, where children learn to code in elementary school, you don't want to get left behind.
