Topic: HTML training (Page 1 of 1)

Hey all,
Been a bit since I've posted a thread I suppose. Quick question - I have an employee that needs some basic html training and due to lack of time, I'd prefer a classroom/workshop/seminar atmosphere for this (instead of self-taught, online). I was hoping someone could make a good recommendation. I'm not looking for Dreamweaver training. Thanks in advance!

edit: been so long since I've used ubb tags..teehee

It's hard to imagine any classroom or seminar giving any more information than you can get at w3.org (or the rest of the internet).

I understand your point, but seems you can learn just about anything on the internet.

Doesn't mean it's the most time efficient

Anyone else?

More time efficient then sitting in a class room :P

Tbh i would think you would find more in the way of dreamweaver courses than "html code" courses..

I know people out of uni that couldnt code a website on a napkin, such a worry.

You're right. That is what I'm finding sadly.

I agree. For html stuff there really isn't anything to learn from a classroom that w3.org or w3schools.com couldn't teach you. Might be good to go through w3schools since you can test it right there and see what happens.

That's not to say that there won't be questions about some things, but that could be what the good ol' asylum has to offer to them

and yes...it's been a long time since you posted Hope all is well!

In the future the only courses they should have are "How to Learn".... all they do these days is give you books and shit to read anyway, so you really only need to be taught how to make use of it all. The rest of its on the net :P

hmmm. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the feedback...BUT

Maybe I should put it this way, where would you send a 12 year old to start learning to code?

w3org while being a great resource isn't very user friendly. I'm looking for something with some fluff and tutorials.

Anyone?

I would use google, and tell the 12 year old to type in "HTML tutorials" or "HTML beginners tutorial". There are billions of tutorials on the net, all you have to do is google and have a look.

I cant say theres anywhere you could send a 12 yo these days to learn it, they should be teaching it at schools though these days. But in general schools/uni its all shit - they dont teach your the hard core coding they teach you a bunch of crap, maybe how to use dreamweaver.

I can code html/css, php, javascript, visual basic and a bunch of other stuff these days - all of it learnt online or from a book ive bought.

There is your other option actualy and probably a good option for a 12yo, buy a good HTML book - there should be very simple ones out there explaining the basics.

The problem with books in relation to technology is they dont stay up to date, so you will still need to head to w3org to find out about depreciated tags etc.

Ask this guy:

I bet he could code on a napkin!

Jeni,

I really think you're right in saying that the W3org is not very user friendly. It gets a little technical and even though I don't know the 12 year old, they would have a hard time with it and give up quickly.

Check out the w3shools.com It will let them see it in action and stuff along with teaching them. Only thing I can offer.
