HTML in 30-Minutes: A Leisurely Crash Course

by Daniel DiGriz

HTML is a practical skill for anyone who wants to create, tweak, or modify the code portion of web pages and web sites. HTML is the code behind the page. The easiest way to learn to tweak your code, embed things in your code, read code and know what you’re looking at, or write a little code, is just to weed out the fluff, cut the dross, and learn to code pages from scratch.

This practical book gets you up and running creating HTML (web) pages in 30-minutes. If you’re not getting a degree in this, and not going to do it for a living, why waste time learning obscure commands that are rarely, if ever uses, just because they happen to start with A in the HTML dictionary. This is not an A-Z book. This is only what you need to code HTML at the level of making your own pages from scratch if you want to, simplified, stripped of needless theory, and turned into a crash course that works.

You’ll actually create pages while you read the book, so it truly is a 30-minute course. Most books are three-inches thick, start out as references, explain the history of HTML, bog you down in a lot of terminology, throw disks at you or other things you have to install. HTML in 30-minutes does none of that. Sit down at your local library computer, an internet cafe, a friend’s laptop, or your home PC and, when you get up again, you’ll be writing pages in HTML.

Brief introduction wastes little time – it includes:

• Why You Don’t Need a Class
• Why you Already Know Some HTML
• HTML Without Spending Money
• HTML Without Fancy Software
• HTML Without the Internet

Immediately hands-on, practical experience (very minimal theory):

• The 10 Essential Commands of HTML (why learn every obscure command, when 10 will build a web site?)
• Creating HTML in notepad (why buy fancy software – notepad is free, fast, and instant)
• Linking pages together to form a web site (two or more pages, linked together, is a web site)
• Linking to other web sites (your site and the rest of the web)
• Editing and testing pages on your computer (write and test at the same time)
• Building an intranet (a web site that runs entirely on your home computer or network)

Book Appendices (come back later and pick up a few extra tips):

• Adding common embed codes in  your existing web pages
• A handful of extra commands (if you want them)
• WYSIWYG
• Platforms

If you’ve ever scratched your head and thought, “Even the dummy guide from the bookstore is bigger than the Dictionary.” and you put off learning to code pages on the fly, download this book. You’ll wonder why you waited so long.
