This week we officially released our newest free course, Create Your First Web Page.
This course is intended for anyone who’s never coded before. In the course you’ll learn the basics of creating an HTML web page: editing markup, structuring text, creating links and adding images. That’s it. It’s a very short course intended to provide the bare-bones basics. If you do well in Create Your First Web Page, you’re prepared to go on to our deeper, more structured courses such as Introduction to HTML5 and CSS, Introduction to JavaScript, or Web Programming with PHP Part A.
Create Your First Web Page is intended for anyone to complete in about two to four hours. You can go at your own pace in this course. You can do the course at one sitting or break it up over successive days, and you’re free to take as much time as you need to complete the course activities. The pace is more relaxed and less structured than our regular courses, but there are still online readings and hands-on coding activities, and there’s still an instructor available to answer questions if you get stuck.
But perhaps best of all, this course uses a new continuous enrollment format. That means the course is available to you as soon as you sign up for it; you don’t have to wait for the course to start because the course is always in session. (We’re hoping to bring continuous enrollment to some of our other courses soon.)
Last but not least, Create Your First Web Page serves as an entrée into the CodeLesson format. If you’ve been thinking about taking a CodeLesson course but you weren’t sure whether our instructor-led online format would work for you, wonder no more. You can enroll in the course here and kick the tires to your heart’s content.
