Hi, I'm Kevin. I love to teach people how to make the web and how to make it look good while they're at it. Over 300.000 people follow my tutorials on YouTube. I learned to make websites on my own. I know how fun and rewarding it is, but I also know that it can be incredibly frustrating. I'm here to help make your journey into web development as easy and as fun as possible.

Why this course rocks

Are you curious about web development but don't know where to start? Would you like to be able to build your own websites? Have you tried learning HTML and CSS, but found other courses too boring or difficult?

If your answer is YES to any of these questions, then this is the course for you!

Why is this course great?

This course features a one of YouTube's most popular instructors, Kevin Powell, along with Scrimba's unique and interactive code-learning experience. It's a magical combination that you won't find anywhere else. The lectures are built to both entertain and teach you, as we believe you learn faster if you aren't bored.

 

Why is it easier to learn here?

Unlike normal videos, Scrimba screencasts are interactive. This means that whenever you're confused, you can simply pause the screencasts and interact with the code yourself. This will help you sort out your confusions.

You'll also be given interactive challenges along the way, as this is critical for the knowledge to stick with you. Once you've tried solving the the challenge, your instructor Kevin will show you his solution. It's almost as if you're programming together with Kevin!

F to the A oracle to the Q
How long does it take to learn HTML and CSS?

It varies. This course is 30 lessons long, with just over 4 hours of material. Ideally, you should spend at least double that practising. That amounts to 12 hours of course work. We do not recommend cramming and 1-2 hours a day might be manageable depending on your schedule. So in about 2 weeks you will be pretty comfortable with beginner's HTML and will be able to move on to more advanced concepts.

What is the best way for a beginner to learn HTML and CSS?

Best way to learn is to build small projects. Before starting the project you need to learn some basic principles and rules of HTML and CSS. This course is exactly the place where you can learn them.

Is it worth learning HTML and CSS?

Yes, both HTML and CSS form the fundamentals of the modern web. Everything you see online in your browser is made of HTML and CSS and is your bread and butter of web development.

Is it hard to learn HTML and CSS?

HTML and CSS are relatively easy to learn. While it may seem daunting at first, you don't need to have any kind of programming experience and it's where most people start.
