HTML is for people

HTML isn't only for people working in the tech field. It's for
anybody, the way documents are for anybody. HTML is just another type
of document. A very special one--the one the web is built on.

I'm Blake Watson. I've been building websites since the early 2000s.
Though I work professionally in the field, I feel strongly that
anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This
book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn't require any
previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover
everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and
friendly way.

Ready? Let's do it!
