One Hour HTML

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.

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.
