Guided Project: Web Development w/ HTML & CSS for Beginners

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are the building blocks of a website. Incredibly versatile, these coding languages provide the foundation for a website’s text styles, colors, images, and “look and feel,” known as the theme. Web developers, software engineers, Java developers, and other IT professionals use HTML and CSS as part of their work—and you can too! In this hands-on guided project, you’ll learn six essential tasks using HTML and CSS to create and style a simple web page. No previous coding experience is required, and by the end of the project, your experience with the basics of HTML and CSS will have you ready to explore their advanced features. Your online lab environment has everything you need to get started. Also, note that this platform works best with current versions of modern browsers.
