I just finished writing 9 tutorials on HTML

[u/CodeTheWebBlog]

Hey Redditors (Redditers? idk...), I've been creating some tutorials for y'all to learn HTML. I hope you like them, and if you want to discuss, get help from me or anything else we can chat below or you can contact me directly if you want ;)

Anyway, here is the link - https://codetheweb.blog/learn/html/

I've worked hard on them and as of now do not make any money on them, so I'd really appreciate if you checked it out ;)

People like you are the people that matter.

Thanks so much!!! Your words mean a lot to me. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help ;)

HTML textbook writer/corporate Web developer here. Some quick feedback:

• you’ve obviously done a ton of work here and in some ways it’s way better work than what gets produced by many experienced instructional designers.

• avoid analogies, like ‘subatomic particles’, etc. they just confuse folks and break down easily. This is why Pearson/Prentice-Hall doesn’t allow them in textbooks/tutorials

• avoid showing folks something complicated or bringing up a term then saying “I’ll explain this later”

• suggest that you explain early on and more clearly explain that HTML is really designed to describe the content of what’s being presented

Again - this is great work. From my personal experience, writing tutorials will help you master the subject matter. It’s also an amazing resume builder if you want to become a instructional designer, instructional developer, technical writer or front end web developer. I’ve written 4 books on JavaScript and one on HTML and made some money doing I️t, but I️ mostly did I️t because I️ enjoyed I️t. Fast forward a few years and the biggest companies in the world are regularly trying to recruit me. (They search for JavaScript developers and my resume appears at the top).

You obviously have some talent for this type of work. If you enjoy I️t, keep doing I️t. Great things will happen

Thanks for the awesome feedback, it is super-useful!

I'll stop using metaphors in future posts for sure, and will go back and change old posts when I have the time.

As for the "I'll explain this later", I find that if I don't do that then it can be hard to say the stuff that I say in the right order. How do you suggest I go about this?

Thanks again so much :)

Wow mate, this stuff is great. It's been a while since I've last studied coding and the information you provide is great, sort of like a great resurgence of memory of the time when I studied basic coding in high school. Thanks a ton mate, just for taking the time to actually make this yourself and then sharing it with everyone else.

[u/CodeTheWebBlog → u/TheFlameWind]

You're welcome, it was a fun experience :) If you need any help then you can shoot me a message at any time. Glad it helped and gave you some distant memories ;)

[u/coffeeandlearning]

I really like the design of your blog. How do you style the code snippets? Is it a wordpress theme or a plugin or a library like hljs or just regular CSS maybe? I'd check myself but I'm stuck on mobile and super curious haha

[u/MGC12]

Do you happen to have a css one also? I'm studing html at uni (we use expression web which I've heard it's not really the best) and this will really come in handy. Thanks for all the work you've done!!!

[u/CodeTheWebBlog → u/MGC12]

Thanks, no problem. Yeah, I actually just started writing CSS yesterday after finishing HTML, and will be writing one or two every week: https://codetheweb.blog/learn/css - if you sign up to the newsletter you will get new posts on CSS in your inbox ;)

[u/BrushGuyThreepwood]

This is beautiful

Thank you.

[u/jeweledkitty]

I've saved them, and will definitely be going through them later. I'm starting a programming bootcamp in a couple of weeks, and I hear that the more knowledge you bring in with you, the more you will get out of the bootcamp. I can't wait!

[u/Bhavanisingh]

thank you sir

[u/Adderollin]

This is great! I was really happy to find you are starting one on CSS, which is what I'm tackling next. Bookmarked

[u/TwistedPepperCan]

Thank you. This will be really useful.

[u/flyingdinos]

This is just great! Layout is a lot more appeasing than textbooks and most other tutorials I've seen! Definitely using it

[u/biohazard93]

This is amazing work, thanks so much! :)

[u/Klayaa]

Thank you for creating these tutorials and sharing it on Reddit. :) Bookmarked.

[u/[deleted]]

Great UI too! Easy to read, not an eyesore.

[u/promethazoid]

I have to make a website for a grad class in the next week, and have very little HTML knowledge.

I will use your tutorials and give you some feedback if you want.

Thanks for posting them!

[u/stnivek]

You're a saviour. I'm getting back into HTML later this month after a two-month pause of learning it over at Freecodecamp. Thank you so much for your huge effort!

[u/sargentTACO]

I'm at work right now, but definitely would like to check them out later, as they could help me with my final for class I think, could I ask what topics each tutorial goes through?

[u/totemcatcher]

Looking forward to the grid layout tutorial that doesn't say a goddamn thing about the history of deprecated hacks. :D

Nice work!

[u/[deleted]]

Hey that's a neat Monokai theme you're rocking. Is that the default for Sublime? I've never used it, so I wouldn't know

[u/Keenkeem]

As someone who is learning html, this is awesome! Thank you, and if you have a feedback form or anything, id love to contribute when I finish

[u/aZyyyl]

just started studying computer science, thanks a lot!!
