What People Are Saying:

★★★★★ “This tutorial really gave me a good overview of HTML5 and helped me understand the major changes from HTML4. The only knock I would give it is that it does not cover web storage, web workers and some other new features of HTML5. For this course being free though and only taking an hour of your time you can't beat the information you get. I think this course will be most beneficial to those already proficient in HTML4.” –Anthony Martin

★★★★★ “Clear, easy to understand and informative course. Will take more Simon Sez It courses.” -Mike Felker

★★★★★ “Just the facts in a very concise way and the explanations were clear. Great Job.” -Eric Belardo


★★★★★ “I really like this course because I learned so much in a so little time, please beware that this is not a learn by doing course, it is an course that will explain the use of the ‘commands’ in HTML5 and compare them with HTML4. Keep the good work Simon!” -Cinthia Ramírez Rufino

★★★★★ “This was a very basic lesson. However, it taught me a lot of things I wasn't aware of. I am a beginner, but some of the other classes I have taken didn't cover some of the fundamentals / basics like this course. I definitely recommend this course to ALL beginners if you're serious about web development.” -John Acosta

Very clear and concise - nice to see the comparison between html5 and 5

By Vivien Jackson on 10/16/2020

This is a very good class if you are familiar with the material. I took a chance at it because I'm trying to learn more about the inner workings of computers and creating web pages. It says beginners, but I'm not so sure. I didn't do so well on the quiz. I do get some of it though regarding the insert codes and how the codes instruct what a function should do on a page. I should have taken better notes and need to watch it again. Sometimes the screen was hard to see and volume a little low. Overall, the teacher is very knowledgeable.

Because I'm a Technical Document Writer that despite using commercial tools on a daily basis, from time to time I need to use HTML to personalize/customize templates, so, having some HTML extra knowledge is always a good idea. The training is very well organized and basic, so, for now, is perfect for me
