A Beginner’s Guide to Learning HTML (and Smacking Zombies Upside the Web Development)
Learning to code can be about as fun as walking barefoot across hot sand in the blistering, post-apocalyptic sun.
But it doesn't have to be.
In this book John Rhea mashes up zombies, humor, and learning actual HTML skills to help make your learning exciting.
Besides learning how to punch a zombie in the HTML, you'll learn the major HTML elements that make up a modern web page and how to put them to good use. You'll learn the structural underpinnings of a web page, how to mark up text, how to wrangle attributes, and ways to embed images, audio, and video. By the time you're done you'll have a good handle on the basic tenants of HTML and how to build your own simple web page.
You won't just passively take in the content, though. You'll use guided tutorials to better understand each tag and concept, and get a handle on how they work in the real world. All the code and directions are provided for both as online codepen.io tutorials and as downloadable html files so you can work with them on your own device.
There's no reason good learning can't live right along side good fun. So grab your computer, grab your sense of humor and get ready to beat down the zombie horde.
Getting Braaains should be fun.

Before reading this book, my experience with HTML was mainly cut and paste.
I definitely knew a few ways it did NOT work.
After reading this brief volume, I have a much clearer understanding. I am by no means an expert, but I am much more confident in giving HTML a try.
Using the examples of Zombies, plus easily followed language and humor, these basic elements are clearly understandable. I have had computer tech classes that would put anyone to sleep. This explanation is light hearted and fun. It kept my interest and was totally unintimidating.
I look forward to practicing with the examples and then learning more from this author.
