Do you...
 |
want to learn HTML,
but are not sure where to
start? |
|
not want to spend
hundreds of dollars on classes, textbooks or personal tuition? |
|
have limited time,
and need to learn HTML
quickly? |
HTML is
the language of the Web - it's what Web pages are written in. But many people hear "computer
language" and think it's complicated. It's not. In fact, most
people are stunned at how easy HTML is to learn once they see it in
action.
That's
because HTML was designed to be easy. The whole concept was born
while trying to make a simple way for scientists to make documents
available to each other that were more interesting that just plain text
documents. HTML allowed them to quickly take their text and make parts
of it bold, different sizes and colors - even add images. And they also
had the ability to link to other people's pages using hyperlinks. This
created a "web" of pages, all linked together.
Once the
code was released to the outside world, hundreds (then thousands, and
eventually millions) of people started creating their own "web
pages" and the World Wide Web took off. So, if HTML had been that
difficult, the Web would never have taken off.
Many
technologies of the Web have evolved since then, but HTML still remains
the foundation - just as it was in the late 1980's.
But the
traditional way people learn HTML is tedious... and boring.
Just
looking at the array of massive telephone-directory-sized HTML textbooks
in any book store would put off almost anyone. Wouldn't it be
great if there was a simpler way to get to grips with the language?
Since
2005, One Hour HTML has changed the way people learn the language.
By compressing the important aspects of the language down, and
presenting them in a way that allows you to get started immediately, you
cut out the unnecessary theory and just get started right away. Now, in
2009, the whole course has been updated to video... making it even easier
to learn.
In
literally a few minutes, you'll be writing your own HTML code. How is
this possible...?
Introducing
the HTML Sketchpad™
The reason
One Hour HTML is the most effective way of learning the language is
because it is an active course. You'll not just be reading about HTML...
you will be using it as you learn it. Through the exclusive HTML
Sketchpad, which appears beneath the video. You'll be able to type in code and see it working at the press of a
button.

The HTML
Sketchpad lets you try what you learn while you learn it! |
Most HTML courses expect you to open a text browser, write some
code, save it, open a web browser, navigate to where you saved the
file... only then can you see if it worked. It's no surprise that it
takes so long with the "traditional" way!
This makes
learning easy. Just watch a bit of the video, learn a concept, then try
it in the Sketchpad straight away. You don't even need to pause the
video.
Need
more time? It's yours....
If you're
worried about being rushed, don't. You're not
limited to just one hour - you can take as much time as you want. You can
pause, rewind or even watch the whole thing from the start again. The
video is split into chapters, so you can return to any area you were
unsure of. You can also come back at a later time to continue, if you want
to take a break.
