From the archives, Teenagers Interested in Learning HTML-You will like this Book.
Information Technology can be intimidating even when the desire is there, but then you look at the source code of an average web page. For instance, with a web browser (I’m using Firefox), right click on this webpage to show a menu and select ‘view page source’. Just scroll down the window that pops up. What do you see? Now place yourself in someone else’s shoes seeing this for the first time. (A few have just left this site to learn something easier, like rocket science.)
Well, I’m glad you stuck around. If you want to learn HTML in an easy and fun setting read on!
A Teen’s Guide to Creating Web Pages and Blogs
A Teen’s Guide to Creating Web Pages and Blogs was first published in 2004 titled Kid’s guide to creating web pages for home and school and later republished under the present title in 2009.
This book is filled with examples and screen shots; and yet, it is compact enough to have you creating your own web pages with confidence within hours to 1 week if you are on summer break. (Smile)
