HTML & CSS for Absolute Beginners: Introduction

Key Takeaways

hello my frontend friends and welcome to HTML and CSS for absolute beginners this course is here to teach you the very fundamentals of HTML and CSS and that's whether you're starting from absolute zero you've never even looked at a line of code you have no idea what those even are but you're interested in learning how to make websites or maybe you've toyed around with a few tutorials and started plugging away at HTML or css or both of them a little bit and you're looking to learn a little bit more and follow a bit more of a learning path to reinforce what you've learned and put sort of all the pieces together and make sense of what's going on whichever the case is you are definitely in the right place we're going to be starting from absolute zero and working our way up to making a responsive website from absolute scratch you can see it on screen right now with the final version is going to be now before we dive into how to actually do all of this and get into the nitty-gritty of learning HTML and CSS there are a few things that you are going to need now you probably have a couple of these things already considering you're watching this video but you're going to need a computer of some sorts uh you're also going to need to have an internet connection once again you're watching a video on YouTube so you probably have one of those uh and the other thing you will need is a browser which again you're watching this any browser I'm going to recommend you use Chrome just so you have the same experience as me but if you're using a different browser that is completely fine and finally you're going to need a text editor of some kind and the one I'm going to recommend is VSS code there are a lot of other text editors out there so if you'd prefer to use another one you can but I'm going to be using vs code as we go through this so if you want want things to look the same as what I'm doing which makes it a little bit easier to follow along I would recommend this the link for it is in the video description below and you can just click the big download for me Windows if you're on a Mac it is available on Mac it's completely free to get and it just it works really well it's a really nice piece of software and it's what we're going to be using to write all of our code in and so those are the main things you're going to need though for this course specifically uh we're going to be building out that project together so I'm supplying the design files that we're going to be using I'm supplying the images we're going to be using and all of the text so there is a Dropbox Link in the description below so I would suggest you go and grab that now just download it it's going to give you a zip you unzip it and you have everything you need to get started and then you're in the right place cuz we're here on YouTube this playlist is set up in order you can just follow along as you go through or if you'd prefer I've also set this up as a completely free course the link to that is also down below you can keep track of which lessons you've done when you revisit and come back you're going to leave off where you started but it's also not just video based all the videos are within the platform but there's also lot of text as well which can make it a little bit easier to reference the code we're going to be looking at there's also these interactive code blocks within the course so as we're learning something you can play with the little interactive version first before bringing in what we've learned into the larger project that we're building and it also has the benefit of being an adree experience so whichever one you choose all of the content is here it's also all in the course platform with some little extra bonus lessons and stuff in the written content over there you can choose whichever way you want to do it works perfectly fine for me I'm really looking forward to getting started so let's dive right into it in the next lesson l
