Best Beginner HTML Coding Tutorial?
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://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41801334
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
wow...you still remember it?
used it probably 20 years back....life saver that time.....nostalgia

Biggest help in high school when learning HTML.

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).

W3schools was nice
