About the Course

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have the code, but how do I put it on the web to share with others?). Throughout the course there will be a strong emphasis on adhering to syntactic standards for validation and semantic standards to promote wide accessibility for users with disabilities. This course will appeal to a wide variety of people, but specifically those who would like a step-by-step description of the basics. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is assumed that students have no prior programming skills or IT experience. The course will culminate in a small final project that will require the completion of a very simple page with links and images. The focus of this course is on the basics, not appearance. You can see a sample final HTML page at https://example-site-1--wd4ehtml.repl.co/ . This is the first course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization. Subsequent courses focus on the marketable skills of styling the page with CSS3, adding interactivity with JavaScript and enhancing the styling with responsive design....

good session, the tutor has a good dynamic of speech, clear and easy to understand without falling asleep during my course, and appropriate knowledge of HTML, step to apply to the useful tools. thanks

Very excellent course for beginners. Hope that the next courses will be at the same level!

Two main problems, though: first, the autograder is very bad, should be much more flexible.

Second, in my opinion, the homework should be more code-based, just like the final project.

I know that this is just an intro course but there should be more assignments along the way. I need more repetitions to grasp this knowledge. Other than the low amount of assignments, this was a good course and would recommend it to someone wanting to learn about HTML5.

Great videos. Teacher awesome.

But the course needs, in order to be better, more practical activities and i got a little bit upset when I worked hard in final project and later I saw that it´s not necessary at all.....Instead, I should just did a final quiz.

This course in okay. But if you want to know much more about Html you should take Class on Fullstack Web Development by The Hong Kong university of Science and Technology which I liked more than this. That course is wonderful and interesting too.

Could be the best course on HTML5, but autograder is a pure nightmare. There's a good chance to fail your final project because of technical issues. So, 5 stars for the content, 0 stars for the autograder, 3 stars as a final mark.

What could have been a great introduciton to HTML it was pretty basic, something were not explained properly. Could be better since you're paying for it. I hope the whole package of web development is better as a whole.

This course is very good for those who wants to learns html5. I enjoyed here but in final project my work was depended on other students and rejected three times because of wrong reviews and this should be fixed.

I was looking for a course which is more practical centric as it will help more but this course is also good but not so practical based this is more theoretical they had provided a book from which i have read

Its a decent course. I wish that there was more 'required' coding moments where they make you type the code by yourself without reference and give you a couple tries. I think that would be gre

Clear and very interesting. But I don't think this course is adapted for people who never heard about coding.

I liked you speak about accessibility and enjoyed making the quizz. Congrats !

Unfortunately, the videos contain only little in-depth information. The content can be found in the linked documents. However, these are very good. The tests are very petty and buggy.

Too much focus on things we know like it should be accessible to the disabled, I really wanted more content on what attributes to be given to a tag and how to structure content well.

Decent introduction. The code submission auto-checker is became a game of getting formatting (whitespace, returns etc) to match perfectly vs. actually submitting working code.

The syllabus is nice for three weeks course.But you have missed many more important topics like forms etc.

please try to include them in future.Anyways , teaching is good.

Good one. I think they should start a specialization or a mid level course which has detail basics,tags and good hands on work . All the best peers. thanks to coursera.

The answers of the quizzes are automatically proving themselves wrong. I think UM has to review some of the quizzes to get assured that nothing is wrong there.

there was no coding at all, and we were focusing on that which already got removed from HTML in earlier decades, so i hope before buy this on Youtube

Creo que lo mejor de todo el curso viene en la semana 3. Al parecer HTML no es tán difícil pero creo que si es necesario poner más ejemplos.

I liked the topics. However, i've liked this course to review the concepts of forms and the types associated: radio buttons, combobox, etc.

good intro to the very basics. emphasis on good standards.

not enough in-depth analysis or practices. maybe for the next upcoming series.

It would be helpful personally for me if the reading part is reduced.. Overall it's a nice course for the beginners like me. Thank you.☺️

The course material is good and the exercises are challenging. The course instructor could be more organised and concise in the videos

The weakest part of this coursera - are quizes - full of question, which check detailed facts from lecture instead of testing skills
