About the Course

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have the code, but how do I put it on the web to share with others?). Throughout the course there will be a strong emphasis on adhering to syntactic standards for validation and semantic standards to promote wide accessibility for users with disabilities. This course will appeal to a wide variety of people, but specifically those who would like a step-by-step description of the basics. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is assumed that students have no prior programming skills or IT experience. The course will culminate in a small final project that will require the completion of a very simple page with links and images. The focus of this course is on the basics, not appearance. You can see a sample final HTML page at https://example-site-1--wd4ehtml.repl.co/ . This is the first course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization. Subsequent courses focus on the marketable skills of styling the page with CSS3, adding interactivity with JavaScript and enhancing the styling with responsive design....

A good introduction to HTML5 with a nice emphasis on accessibility. I think it is a great idea to focus on design with best practice in mind, so you are more aware of bad habbits that would otherwise creep into your own developing style unnoticed.

Very good basic introduction. The final project was a little challenging because some of the questions used coding that wasn't reviewed in either the textbook or in the lectures. The lectures were otherwise very informative and well-structured.

I loved the course, everything was just fine. And now i am excited to go and learn the other remaining material of the course. However, i also wanted the topics like, forms to be covered. No issues, i will do it by myself. Good luck everyone.

Couple hiccups with the autograder, but otherwise this course was very good. After messing around with HTML for years, it was about time I learned what the deal with HTML5 is. Just the right length, and definitely an Easy level of difficulty.

It would be really helpful, if the explanation of each concept, like hyperlinks, multimedia would have done by writing the code, basically showing a demonstration of syntax and all.

So that we can code side by side on the editor and learn it.

I like the course, but I'd like to have deeper information about HTML5 and more exercises for learning and practicing. Also, there's few info about hosting and managing your website. Hope i'll find it in sooner courses of this university.

a very well constructed course for everyone who wants to get hands on expertise in dealing with Html 5.

i enjoyed every single lecture and the most important of all is you get your understanding of html 5 tested through a Final Project.

Really helpful course. It is indeed the basics of the basics, but it definitely settled up a starting background for those that wish to develop a website. I would definitely recommend to a friend with no experience in the field at all.

It was a nice course for the beginner. But Dr.Chuck is an illusion in this course. Instead of watching her videos i would recommend to study about tags through W3schools.com (save your time). Watch week 3 videos they are informative

Overall this is a very good course. I had some experience with HTML5, but this course showed me the nuances of standard practice that I was otherwise missing. The instructor was very articulate and offered example with every topic.

In very lucid language, i have understood Intro to HTML5 using this course. Not only that this course also made me to get knowledge about how the internet works and about GitHub. Thanks to Coursera for making these courses for us.

It was good especially if you are a complete beginner.it covers many important parts other than the tag like domain,hosting,cpanel,GitHub pages and more.so if you are a beginner and want to be a web developer this is a good start.

I was a totally beginner. The lectures and slides are very well done. It felt sometimes repetitive. In the end, I think I got a good comprehension of HTML. Since coding, upload to the web, github. I really enjoyed the final exam.

Thanks to everyone, thanks to Coursera for the opportunity of learn and for supporting me, because I do not have the economic resources and education in my country is not a priority. Thanks.

A very well designed course. May want to consider the accessibility of the Final Project, as someone relying on a screen reader would not be able to interpret the screen shot in order to replicate the design into HTML code.

I really like the way that Colleen presented the materials. A lot of histories and related information. Since I have some experience in coding, I can follow along. But I think the course will be difficult for fresh starters.

Nice, well structured lessons. I really like the approach: you should practice instead of learning just books. Partially should be reviewed, e.g. assignment rating instructions contain typo (ordered vs unordered list).

Great beginner course. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the annoying amount of typos, especially in the quizzes. Other than that, Colleen van Lent did an excellent job getting us starting in this subject.

This is decent course which would be recommended if you want a certificate with knowledge. You would definitely learn some new things which would rather very important if you plan on pursuing web development further.

It is an informative course. But there's a tip who all are starting it- there's no spoon-feeding in here you gotta be determined and feel free to go over documentations and read and learn. That's the key. Good luck.

I liked this course very much and I will refer this course to my friend's but I will give 4 stars only because this course doesn't cover Form tag topic in HTML. In this Course Form tag and its use topic is missing.

Test

Hi. Thank you for your lessons. I could tell you that those very useful for me. However, I would like to recommend that there are tests with 30 questions, It is too much for this course I think.

Thank you

So, It's for very very beginner .. I'm don't enjoy this course because I'm an advanced beginner .. I work before with HTML and CSS ..

So, I recommended this course for anyone who have no experience with HTML ... :D
