Go to course ↗

Codecademy's free HTML and CSS track, a short beginner course in writing web page markup and styling with CSS. It is the course commenters point newcomers to before moving on to other languages or tools.

Commenters repeatedly call it a free, solid starting point that builds a strong foundation, with one calling the course "great" and another saying it "got me started".

    codecademy worked for me. html + css course was great

  2. Strongly recommendssentientgypsyr/learnprogramming2017in “I am 40, my son is 9. We would both like to learn to code.”

    I'm currently 19 years old and I've been doing codecademy for years, its HTML and CSS courses are amazing, everyone is saying python but to a 9 year old it may not be that interesting, I reccomend HTML and CSS first due to the fact your son would need that first "hook", you wouldnt have an issue…

  3. Strongly recommendsderezzedmindr/learnprogramming2016in “Self taught front end devs... When did you know that you were "Job ready"?”

    I would recommend going through the HTML and CSS course on Code Academy first. It's free, first of all. It also helped me build a pretty strong foundation of the languages first. Udacity Nanodegrees charge by the month so it helped that what I learned from Code Academy allowed me to fly through…

  4. RecommendsDhokSCr/learnprogramming2021in “Got my second job as a VueJS programmer after 1.2 years of working experience”▲ 1

    I learned HTML and CSS at Codecademy. I did also go through a course at Udemy for both. VueJS was studied only at Udemy.

  5. Recommendsjimmaaaytr/webdev2017in “I have no qualifications or experience in web development, but I would like to find a job in this industry. Help? (UK)”

    From UK. I started out on an apprenticeship. And was able to build a few example sites, with just HTML and CSS. They weren't great but it showed I had an understanding. I would recommend going through at minimum the html and css courses on codecademy and start coding some example sites. Also my…

  6. RecommendsDelisionr/learnprogramming2017in “[PHP] <?= What is the best book to learn PHP with MySQL and / or {'HTML','CSS','Javascript'}; ?>”

    A good way to learn HTML and CSS is to take an online course with it first. There's pretty brief courses on both of these on codecademy, or longer courses on SoloLearn. After you do those, make your own website (I recommend just local hosting one, no need to buy a domain for practice) and mess…

  7. Recommendshomecleanerrr/EntrepreneurRideAlong2017in “I am trying to get into the cleaning business and need a site, but I can´t afford the (cool) launch27 themes. Can anybody give me tips on how to use other wordpress themes for this kind of business?”

    Go to codecademy.org and take their HTML and CSS courses. Will take you a day if you're lazy! Buy the X Theme from Themeco ($70). Will let you build your website like legos by stacking elements. A fifth grader could do it! Good luck.

  8. Recommendsphotoshopbot_01r/webdev2016in “CSS Menu Help”

    Ok, that's a box shadow. If you're asking questions this basic, I'd recommend completing a quick course or two on HTML and CSS. The one provided free by codecademy is what got me started. The more important question in this case is "how can I work this stuff out on my own, quickly?". and for most…

  9. Recommendsmtaylor62389r/Entrepreneur2016in “For entrepreneurs using WordPress: What do you struggle with the most about WordPress? I'm answering all questions.”▲ 1

    I learned from Codecademy, then Treehouse. Treehouse is by far the best place I could ever recommend for people trying to learn to code, but I would start by taking the Codecademy courses on HTML and CSS before moving into Treehouse's CSS course.

  10. Recommendswvmtnboyr/webdev2015in “Where can I find some good, high quality HTML5/CSS3/Javascript tutorials on building a website?”

    Here's where i stand. I started coding a couple of months ago, and began with Codecademy. It's a good site. Do the html and css language course. Then hop over to FreeCodeCamp and do the same. After that, you just have to start. I made the mistake of burning through the html/css tutorials and…

    1) You should check out XAMPP, which allows you to create a local server, including: https://www.udemy.com/blog/xampp-tutorial/ 2) To learn about HTML and CSS: http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/htmlcss 3) I think you should start with HTML, CSS and PHP at first. There are a lot of tutorials to…
