Hi, I'm Dan Rodney, and I'll be teaching you how to build web pages with HTML and CSS. I've been coding websites since 1997, and I look forward to helping you learn web development so you can create websites from scratch or edit existing ones. To get started, please download the PDF workbook and the class files.

If there's no download link near this video, you can use the download code in the PDF workbook to download those class files. The format of the training will be to watch a video where I’ll show you how to code, explaining important concepts as I work. After that, there will be a step-by-step exercise in the PDF workbook that will walk you through what I just demonstrated.

So there's no need to follow along during the demonstrations, since there will be a written exercise in that PDF that will guide you through all the code and provide a hands-on portion of the course. Repetition actually helps you learn. So watching the videos and then doing it yourself using the PDF workbook will help you remember the concepts you're learning.

Feel free to repeat the videos and written exercises as many times as needed until the content is drilled into your head—so you can remember the code without needing to look it up. I'll see you in the next video where I’ll show you how to get a code editor and set it up.
