About this course
Web development is complex, but it can be easy if you take it step by step. This course is the first in a series of courses by bestselling author Andy Harris. Throughout the series, he takes students through every single example of his massive book (the book is over 1000 pages of fun yet authoritative instruction.)
Each mini-book will be its own smaller course, so you can pick and choose the content you need without having to pay for content you already know.
This first course provides a solid understanding of HTML5 and CSS3, the underlying foundations of the Internet. You'll learn:
