Description
Learn Enough HTML, CSS and Layout to Be Dangerous teaches you how to make modern websites using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The video includes several much neglected yet essential techniques for page layout, including more advanced CSS techniques such as flexbox and CSS grid. It also covers the use of a static site generator to make websites that are easy to maintain and update. Finally, Learn Enough HTML, CSS and Layout to Be Dangerous shows you how to register and configure custom domains, including both custom URLs and custom email addresses. You can think of this tutorial as “a website in a box”: everything you need (and nothing you don’t) to design, build, and deploy modern, professional-grade websites.
In addition to teaching you specific skills, Learn Enough HTML, CSS and Layout to Be Dangerous also helps you develop technical sophistication–the seemingly magical ability to solve practically any technical problem. Technical sophistication includes concrete skills such as version control and HTML, as well as fuzzier skills like Googling the error message and knowing when to just reboot the darn thing. Throughout the video you will have abundant opportunities to develop technical sophistication in the context of real-world examples. Focused exercises help you internalize what matters, without wasting time on details pros dont care about. Soon, it’ll be like you were born knowing this stuff–and you’ll be suddenly, seriously dangerous.
