Best Beginner HTML Coding Tutorial?

Not_Oles

Where do you send your friends who ask you how to learn enough HTML to put up their own simple website?

Yesterday on HN, I saw:

# Show HN: HTML for People ( simple.css )

@simonw says, "This is great. The decision to skip CSS by
depending on https://simplecss.org/ is smart - CSS is a whole
other thing, and having that on top of basic HTML would be
pretty intimidating."

  simple.css
  water.css https://perma.cc/5936-VK4J
  Sakura https://perma.cc/F6E4-EU58
  Pico https://picocss.com/

htmlforpeople might be the best newbie HTML website tutorial I've seen! @simonw[1] seemed to like it, too.

I especially liked the clear and simple explanation in the bonus chapter on PHP.

Maybe inter.css might be added to the above CSS list from htmlforpeople?

I usually suggest scrimba. They have this VS Code like website and they give you challenges to do, making people write code instead of just going over the tutorial.

I wouldn't recommend anyone design a small website (even though we've all done it), due to the number of security mistakes that humans make. It is always better to use a framework as a base.

I'd say, just follow other codes and W3Schools until you master it. It's easy. I pulled off https://entropy.199693.xyz in 2 days with basically no prior experience with divs or anything. I just knew the HTML, Head, and Body tags.
