HTML5 Tutorial For Beginners - part 1 of 6 - Getting Started

This series of videos demonstrates how to write HTML code that is compliant with the new HTML5 standards. These videos are good for beginners.

Part 1: This video describes HTML tags, elements, and attributes. The new HTML5 doctype declaration is shown as well as the method for specifying the character encoding for the document. The basic structure of an HTML document is also shown. This video introduces the html, head, meta, title, body, and p tags.

Part 2: This video describes how to use text. The p tag is demonstrated and the heading tags are introduced. The br tag is also shown. This video also touches on the importance of CSS. A quick demonstration of CSS is shown to center some text and to change its color. In older versions of HTML, text could be centered by using the align attribute. However, this attribute is deprecated and is not valid HTML5. While the align attribute may still work in your browser, it is not compliant with HTML5 standards. Therefore, learning CSS can be very beneficial when working with HTML5 code.

Part 3: This video demonstrates how to use images and hyperlinks. The difference between relative and absolute addressing is covered. This video shows the height and width attributes used with the img tag. In older versions of HTML, the height and width attributes could be specified in pixels or as a percentage. However, it is not valid HTML5 to specify these values as a percentage. If a percentage value is desired then CSS can be used.

Part 4: This video introduces 2 elements that are new to HTML5, the audio and video elements. While older browsers don't support these new elements, the popular newer browsers do.

Most people take it for granted learning HTML and CSS, they immediately jump over to the PHP and Advanced languages.
But trust me. without understanding HTML, and CSS completely you will definitely have a hard time.
So i encourage you to watch and complete HTML, and CSS before going any further. Thanks

I've never had any experience with html before and this is the perfect introduction into both what it does and how it works. Watch all 6 videos in the series and within 40 minutes you'll have a basic grasp of html.

I'd recommend making some notes as you go as I won't be able to create a page without re-watching the video but his is certainly the best tutorial series I've seen on YouTube for anything.

Your teaching method is really helpful. I saw many deferent tutorials on HTML Those are actually push me in more "Dark" about HTML. After I have found your tutorial, believe me or not I'm practicing HTML. Because you describe every information need to know about HTML. Which help me to understand why do we writing those meaningless things (which is actually HTML language)

I like these videos so much better than your HTML for beginner videos. They have better visuals, easier to follow and not as seemingly slow to progress between topics. All in all, Thanks for these videos! Very useful!

I'm a 2D Flash Animator and I've been using Adobe Flash to animate cartoons. I feel, though, that I haven't been utilizing Flash's full function since I know nothing about coding. This tutorial is a big help. Now, with this tutorial, I can explore Flash more and upgrade my skills. Thank you for this!
