Course Description

Welcome to the beginner's guide to coding! 

In this course, we're going to explore a lot together. There are three modules (3 mini courses) included in the beginners guide to coding:

  • Web Development Fundamentals: A beginners guide to coding

  • Understanding how websites work, a glimpse into the request/response lifecycle

  • HTML 101: An introduction to web development for complete beginners

First, we'll look at web development fundamentals including common myths about getting into web development, the tools of the trade, getting a coding program installed, and much more.

Then we'll dive into understanding websites and take a look at how websites actually work, what your browser does, and how it all comes together on your computer. We'll look into web requests and server responses as the way computers "talk" to each other.

Lastly, we'll jump into HTML 101 where we'll learn about what HTML is, how it's useful, why we should learn it, and then we'll be writing quite a bit of code.

There are 3 projects — one at the end of each module. This will give you hands-on experience every step of the way.

What separates this course from other courses is this is 100% beginner-friendly, there are no assumptions made about your skill level, and I've designed the curriculum to help you learn properly meaning you won't need to take another HTML course if you don't want to — you'll be completely set up for success as a beginner web developer.

The course is well-explained, very affordable and works perfectly with my system [unlike SheCodes].

By Diya Nair on 7/5/2024

It was exactly what I was hoping to learn, and though I have done the basics of Python, the course so far has refreshed my memory and the energy/tone of the speaker is enthusiastic so I'm not getting bored listening.

Put into simple terms.

By Tina Mxenge on 7/21/2023

It helps with making you feel comfortable with the world of programming. Understanding what is happening before the actual work is so beneficial in understanding the work later on.

By Firnando Kuang on 9/1/2021

So far I learned quite a lot of understanding regarding coding whereas before I was like completely clueless regarding this stuff.

By Jess Kim on 5/8/2021

Great course. If there are some exercises for learners between some courses, it would be better!

By James Lewis on 3/10/2021

It is great! I'm in my eighties and don't learn as rapidly as I use to, but it's here to go over and over again which i have been doing.

By Suvam Talukder on 11/8/2020

I think this is one of the best and super explanatory course I have ever taken. I am not even halfway done and still learned tons of new things. Kalob Taulien is a beautiful teacher and I hope he will do more uploads like this one.
