HTML & CSS 2025: Hands-on No-nonsense Guide

This course provides human-made closed captions (CC) in English to support your learning journey. We regularly update the content with the latest web development practices. Welcome! This comprehensive course will guide you through learning HTML5 and CSS3 to build modern websites.

I'm Dr. Artur Karczmarczyk, a Full-Stack Web Developer and Software Engineer with 16 years of industry experience and an Associate Professor at a leading Technical University in Poland. I've helped hundreds of students master IT and web development skills.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

• Create basic and advanced HTML pages incorporating images, lists, tables, HTML5 forms, audio, and video.
• Develop responsive layouts using divs, semantic HTML tags, and the latest Flexbox and Grid mechanisms.
• Style HTML pages effectively with cutting-edge CSS and LESS features.

Over the next 12 hours, we'll cover all the essential steps for creating compelling HTML5 web pages. We'll start with your first "Hello World" page, demonstrating how to install and configure a free code editor. You'll then learn about text formatting, image acquisition and placement (including legal sourcing for commercial projects), and common HTML structures like links, lists, tables, and forms, utilizing modern HTML5 inputs and validation.

Section 3 dives into CSS and responsive web design (RWD). We'll leverage divs, semantic tags, Flexbox, and Grid to ensure your layouts are optimized for both mobile and desktop devices. We'll also introduce LESS to streamline your CSS workflow.

The final sections culminate in a capstone project, inspired by the CSS Zen Garden. You'll create an online CV page using semantic HTML and then apply CSS to design two distinct themes.

This course is perfect for individuals with existing technical skills who are new to web development. If you're eager to learn modern HTML5, CSS3, and LESS in an agile, hands-on, and practical way, this is the course for you.
