- [James] I hope you had fun exploring
the fundamental concepts and syntax of HTML.
Before we wrap up, I wanted to leave you with some resources
that can help you dig deeper into HTML
and become a better web designer.
I wanna start with the specification itself.
I'm not saying that you have to read all
of the HTML5 specification all the way through,
but I recommend taking a very thorough look
at the HTML5 specification
which we see here on the W3C's website.
I also recommend checking out the differences
between HTML4 and HTML5,
the W3C has a nice document on that,
as a way of understanding how things have evolved over time.
You also wanna make sure that you're writing valid HTML code
so be sure to bookmark the W3C's markup validator.
This free syntax examines your code,
it lets you know if there are any issues with your syntax,
and it's a really great way to learn the rules of HTML
as you write your code.
It also has the option of showing the document outline,
so as you're working, if you want to keep track
of what your document outline looks like,
this is a great service to use.
Another great set of resources
is the Mozilla Developer Network and the Web Platform docs.
Aside from having articles and tutorials
that span the range of web design and development,
they have sections that are dedicated to HTML;
these are both excellent online resources
for any web professional.
Another set of great resources
are the html5rocks.com website
and the html5doctor.com sites.
Once you've mastered the basics of HTML,
both of these sites have great articles
and tutorials on HTML,
and the best practices around authoring it.
And of course, don't forget to explore the many courses
on HTML and web design
in the lynda.com online training library.
As our homepage says at the time of this recording,
for web, we have 529 courses
and 20,996 individual video tutorials;
that is a lot of learning,
and you can certainly progress from being a beginner
to becoming a confident web professional
by going through a lot of these courses.
I'd also love to hear how your progress is going
so follow me on Twitter @jameswillweb
and join the conversation.
I would love to hear from you.
Once again, thanks for watching
and I hope I'll see you in my next course.
