This is an beta website by Inclusive Bytes CIC, The aim is to create one location for digital resources in Oldham.

getting started on html

the best way to learn html is not just by reading about it. like python you need to do as you learn and put theory to practice immediately.

1. learn the basics fast

core structure:

tags: <html>, <head>, <body>

headings, paragraphs, links, images

list’s and basic formatting

use FreeCodeCamp as a reliable free resource

2. write code from day 1

open a text editor and try this

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello world</h1>
<p>This is my first website.</p>
</body>
</html>

3. simple tools

use visual studio code for practice or even notepad

4. Build small projects

try a personal profile page

a simple blog layout

a favourite movie page

each project will force you to learn the tags naturally

5. Learn CSS early in addition to HTML

HTML is structure and CSS makes it look good

6. common mistakes

memorising every tag

do not stay stuck on tutorials for too long

do not wait until you “feel ready” to build

7. optionally: follow a guided course

structured: FreeCodeCamp

YouTube channels such as traversy media

Good Luck!!!!!!
