HTML Tutorial


As part of my 'Web Creation and Design' course, what could seem more fundamental than learning HTML?

So using the tutorial below, I set out on a mission to become an expert in the space of 12 short minutes.

And twelve minutes on, I was none the wiser.

Even if you look past the fact that it is a completely unprofessional tutorial and you can't here what the fourteen year old computer geek is saying, then you are still faced with the lad belching mid way through - something deemed rather offputting to most of us. Quite simply its over before it even gets going. Some of the content is ok if you hang around long enough but for the first timer looking to learn about HTML, it may put you off for life.

However there are a number of good tutorials out there. I found that a brief look at http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp was far more effective. It allows you to try for yourself and gives you a detailed account into HTML for the beginner.
But I realise that not everyone has bags of time on their hands. However if you can spare just a single minute, then the tutorial below could be what your looking for:


The title 'Create a Webpage in a single minute' is what drew me to this tutorial and I have to say, I was very impressed. Although it assumes some basic knowledge on behalf of the reader such as the use of Notepad as opposed to Word and the fact that you need to run Firefox, it is incredibly effective. Dont expect to be able to insert pictures and learn fancy layouts, but if its the basics that your after, then you need'nt look any further.
