HTML & CSS 101: Learn How to Build Websites
HTML and CSS are both considered the backbone of all websites on the internet. Command of HTML and CSS along with a programming language like JavaScript or PHP can enable anyone to create powerful web applications. Traditionally, HTML is seen as a markup language used to describe the structure of documents on the web. On the other hand CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are used to describe the presentation (i.e. look and feel) of an HTML document. In this workshop you will learn the basics of HTML and CSS.
Upon completion of the workshop you will:

- Learn basic HTML and CSS syntax.
- Learn to write HTML and CSS from scratch.
- Learn how to update HTML and CSS on existing websites.

Ensure that your computer is running the latest version of Google Chrome. No prior programming experience is required.
