This class is the first one in a 3-class Web Development series. Here, you'll learn how to use HTML from scratch in 11 days, in bite-sized sessions of around 15 minutes each day. You'll learn the concepts you need to know to start building the structures of your own websites and establish the strong foundation you need to move on to any field you’re interested in Web Development. HTML is the foundation of all websites and can be a very useful skill to learn. This course will start with concepts as simple as HTML elements and go all the way to a final project where you will code your own website, which will help you connect the dots on all the concepts you learned throughout the course.
