HTML for People is an educational resource aimed at demystifying the process of website creation for individuals of any professional background. It serves as an extensive guide to learning and applying HTML, the foundational language of the web, starting from the absolute basics and progressing to more complex applications. The resource is organized into a sequence of chapters that build upon one another, including step-by-step instructions on creating your first website, enhancing it with styling, adding various functional pages (such as a blog and resume), and experimenting with advanced features like PHP.
Each chapter targets a particular component or concept of web development: setting up a text editor, customizing CSS, managing content, and even installing a local web server. Additionally, the resource provides bonus chapters for in-depth understanding and demonstrations for hands-on learning. This format makes it particularly useful for beginners with no prior experience in coding or website design, as it breaks down technical topics into manageable, actionable lessons.
Beyond the book, HTML for People extends its offerings through links to various demos, additional resources, and a community connection via social media shares and support through donations. Authored by Blake Watson, an experienced web developer, the book reflects a genuine passion for making web development accessible and inviting for everyone.
