Best Beginner HTML Coding Tutorial?

Not_Oles

Where do you send your friends who ask you how to learn enough HTML to put up their own simple website?

Yesterday on HN, I saw:

# Show HN: HTML for People ( simple.css )

https://htmlforpeople.com/
@simonw says, "This is great. The decision to skip CSS by
depending on https://simplecss.org/ is smart - CSS is a whole
other thing, and having that on top of basic HTML would be
pretty intimidating."

  simple.css
  water.css https://perma.cc/5936-VK4J
  Sakura https://perma.cc/F6E4-EU58
  Pico https://picocss.com/

htmlforpeople might be the best newbie HTML website tutorial I've seen! @simonw[1] seemed to like it, too.

I especially liked the clear and simple explanation in the bonus chapter on PHP.

Maybe inter.css might be added to the above CSS list from htmlforpeople?

I learnt a lot of my HTML/PHP from http://www.tizag.com
I found it really easy to follow.

ChatGPT or similar is where I'd probably ask people to go these days

w3schools is an oldie but a goodie when it comes to absolute beginner learning of HTML/CSS/JS concepts. They have way more languages on there now but I've only ever used the HTML/CSS/JS ones (and even that was a long time ago).
