How to learn HTML for beginners?

To learn HTML as a beginner, you can follow these steps:

  1. Start with the basics: Familiarize yourself with the basic structure of HTML and its fundamental concepts. Understand how HTML tags are used to define elements, such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and images.
  2. Learn HTML syntax: Study the syntax rules of HTML, including the proper use of opening and closing tags, attributes, and values. Pay attention to the hierarchy and nesting of elements within the HTML document.
  3. Set up a development environment: Install a text editor like Visual Studio Code or use a web-based code editor. This will provide a dedicated space for writing and saving your HTML code.
  4. Online tutorials and courses: Utilize online tutorials and interactive courses specifically designed for beginners. Websites like Codecademy, MDN Web Docs, and freeCodeCamp offer comprehensive HTML courses with hands-on exercises and examples.
  5. Practice with examples: Reinforce your learning by practicing with HTML examples. Start by creating simple web pages with headings, paragraphs, and links. Gradually incorporate more complex elements like images, lists, tables, and forms.
  6. Explore HTML tags and attributes: Familiarize yourself with a wide range of HTML tags and their associated attributes. Experiment with different tags and attributes to understand their purpose and functionality.
  7. Use developer tools: Take advantage of the developer tools available in web browsers like Google Chrome. Inspect web pages, examine their HTML structure, and modify elements to see the immediate effects.
  8. Refer to documentation: Consult official documentation and resources like MDN Web Docs for in-depth explanations and references on HTML elements, attributes, and best practices.
  9. Join coding communities: Engage with coding communities, forums, and social media groups dedicated to web development. Connect with fellow beginners and experienced developers to seek guidance, share insights, and collaborate on projects.
  10. Build projects: Apply your knowledge by building simple web projects. Start with static web pages and gradually tackle more complex projects, such as multi-page websites, portfolio pages, or blog templates. Practice helps solidify your understanding and builds your confidence.
  11. Continuously learn and update: Keep up with the latest HTML standards and advancements. HTML evolves over time, so stay informed about new features, tags, and best practices to enhance your skills.

Remember, learning HTML is an ongoing process. Practice regularly, explore different resources, and gradually incorporate CSS and JavaScript to enhance your web development skills. Embrace a hands-on approach, be persistent, and enjoy the journey of mastering HTML.

I started this 3 days ago, following John’s suggestions, and I gained the Upwork Rising Talent badge in less than 2 days. I have a call with my first potential client tomorrow. Thanks, John!

John is the man! I followed his steps and I am flooded with interviews in a week. I got into two Talent clouds. The very next day, I got an invitation from the talent specialists from Upwork and a lot more. I wanna shout out, he is the best in this. Thanks John for helping me out!

After viewing John’s course, I made an Upwork account and it got approved the same day. Amazingly, I got my first job the very same day, I couldn’t believe it, I thought maybe I got it by coincidence. Anyways I completed the job and received my first earnings. Then, after two days, I got another job and within a week I got 3 jobs and completed them successfully. All the things he says seem to be minute but have a very great impact on your freelancing career.

I’ve been in an existential crisis for the last week about what the heck I’m doing as a business owner. Even though I’ve been a business for about a year, I’m constantly trying to think of how to prune and refine services. This was very personable and enjoyable to watch. Usually, business courses like this are dry and hard to get through…. repeating the same things over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. THANK YOU.

I’ve definitely learnt so much in 2.5 hours than I’d learn watching different videos online on Youtube and reading tons of articles on the web. John has a natural way of teaching, where he is passionately diving in the topics and he makes it very easy to grasp — someone who wants you to really start running your business well by learning about the right tools and implement them in your online business. I will definitely share with many of the people I know who have been struggling for so long, I did find my answers and I’m sure will do too.

I have been following John Morris for several years now. His instruction ranges from beginner to advanced, to CEO-level guidance. I have referred friends and clients to John, and have encouraged my own daughter to pay attention to what he says. All of his teachings create wealth for me (and happiness for my clients!) I can’t speak highly enough about John, his name is well known in my home.

Sukh Plaha

John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!

John has been the most important person in my freelance career ever since I started. Without him, I would have taken 10 or 20 years more to reach the position I am at now (Level 2 seller on Fiverr and Top Rated on Upwork).
