HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a programming language used to create the content of the webpages, such as written text. CSS (Cascade Styling Sheets) is responsible for the design or style of the website, including the layout, visual effects, and background color. HTML documents can be created in a computer's text editor and saved to the computer -- no special software or website is required.
HTML is recommended for ages 8+.
Using your SLCL library card, you can access numerous online courses. Both LinkedIn Learning and Udemy offer courses in HTML/CSS for beginners to more advanced users. While there are no courses specifically designed for children at this time, parents and teachers may wish to view the introductory courses along with their children or students to help guide young learners.
