How the Web Actually Works
Before writing a single tag, you'll understand what HTML is, what a browser does with it, and why structure matters. This mental model makes everything else click faster.

- 1.2Your First HTML FileIncluded
- 1.3How Browsers Read HTML: Tags, Elements, and AttributesComing soon
Text, Headings, and Everyday Elements
Master the building blocks of every web page: headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and inline text formatting. You'll write content that is both readable and semantically correct.

- 5.3HTML Tables: When and How to Use ThemComing soon

A note from your teacher
Paul
Hi, I'm so glad you're here — and I want to be upfront with you: this course is deliberately narrow, and that's its superpower. I've watched hundreds of beginners try to learn web development and stall because they were handed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript all at once. I built this course to solve that exact problem. We focus on one thing — HTML — and we go deep. By the time you finish, you won't just know HTML tags; you'll understand why each one exists and when to reach for it. I can't wait to see the pages you build.
