HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It's the mysterious code that web pages are made of. Only it doesn't have to be so mysterious anymore!

Handouts (helpful documents suitable for printing)

• File:Container Model.pdf (basic HTML syntax)
• File:Anatomy of a Web Page.pdf (two-sided pamphlet illustrating global structure of web page, block and inline elements)

External resources

• HTML tag reference from w3schools.com

Further materials (of questionable utility)

• Sample Webpage About Coffee (HTML 4)
• Sample Webpage About Coffee (HTML 5)
• Introduction to HTML slidedeck gizmo — you'll need to use your arrow keys to navigate through the presentation
