So, you’ve explored the basics of coding, but want some hands-on experience actually writing code to help you decide if this is something you could really see yourself doing for a living? Makes sense.

This free, two-hour session is the perfect place to get your feet wet — or in this case, your hands — with HTML and CSS. After a quick review of these languages, follow along live to learn and apply HTML and CSS basics like paragraphs, headers, attributes, colors, fonts, and more, to create a custom, working website — from scratch. Yes. You can do that.

Once you have a foundation with HTML and CSS, make sure to join us for day three of Coding Week where we’ll take your skills to the next level and get hands-on practice with JavaScript Basics. We'll see you there.

Takeaways

• Learn the basics of HTML and CSS and what they’re used for.

• Practice building a simple, working web page using basic HTML and CSS syntax.

• Get experience with the building blocks (HTML and CSS) to expand to more programming languages like JavaScript and Python.

Preparation

• This is a beginner-friendly series, so no prior knowledge is necessary.

• If you plan to code along live, make sure you have a free Codepen account. Keep in mind, this part is optional.

• A recording of every session from Coding Week will be shared within a few business days after the week’s end.

• This session will be held in a Zoom webinar, so your mic and camera will be off. We’ll interact through the chat, Q&A, and reactions.
