Free School

In the last post we talked about setting up a work space  with a computer, internet access, and a filing system based on paper.  Here we will discuss a learning option that is thorough and free of charge. There are many different ways to approach publishing a website, but all are based on  the cornerstone of HTML. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.  HTML can be formatted on the screen in different ways but the universal approach is with CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. Founded in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee the international organization that standardizes the World Wide Web is the WC3.  WC3 stands for the World Wide Web Consortium. The WC3 offers free tutorials that are well constructed and are useful to both beginners and seasoned developers alike.
 W3C Schools are step by step.  You do not need to have any knowledge before you start the HTML, and you do not need any special tools. They have quizzes where you can test what you have learned at each level. In addition to the quizzes they offer an application where you can test out what you are being taught. Once you know the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and XHTML you’re given an option to take an exam and get certified as an HTML Developer.  There is a $59 fee to take the test but all the learning materials are free of charge.

Next post we will look into registering a name for the website.
