Ratings and Reviews for Introduction to HTML5

Very good course

The course content was presented at steady pace and the videos were clear and direct. However, the auto-grader was really confusing for the final project.

The course is very good. It is not so easy to pass the quizes but it does get you hooked on HTML

'Introduction to HTML5' course is a very general introduction to HTML5 for beginners. The professor doesn't assume you know anything about Web development or even how files are uploaded to a host website. The course covers a brief history of the Web, basic HTML5 elements, URL terminology, Accessibility, Semantics, and basic FTP & Web hosting software like C-Panel. Forms and other advanced topics are not covered. The class is presented in a laid back style and uses non-technical language which is easy to understand. The quality of the video and audio are excellent. Supplemental books (pdf) and links to Youtube videos are provided and are useful. The duration of some of the lectures seemed too long, even when using 2X playback speed. With some of the quizzes, the professor expected you to read her mind and were worded in a subjective manner. The Accessibility section seemed a little too preachy for me. Also, the final project was convoluted and the instructions were vague. The final project really ended up being a 9 or 10 question quiz that gave you hints on how to code the final project. In summary, take this course if you are a complete beginner. Otherwise, you won't learn much if you have more than 2 months of experience in front end Web development.

Good for beginner, but I think it would be better to add more practice in the course.

Awesome course from a fantastic instructor.

This is a very "pediatric" way to learn HTML basics and how to get started on your developer career. Both content and examples are pretty straight forward. Evaluation system should be reviewed and interaction with teacher, other than blog, should be open when there's an issue/question with specific questions.

It was a great course! I've been studying HTML before but now I had more structured knowledge, I've also discovered some new interesting things.

One of the best and no fluffy intro to the basics of HTML5/HTML. Colleen was excellent in the presentation.
