  • Amazing course! I love the "learn by doing approach" that it has. Furthermore, the answers to the questions asked in the forum are very informative. It's very fantastic, and it gave me a foundation to learn more about HTML. I am so glad that I found it, and other beginners should give it a try!

  • This was by far the best course I have ever taken for HTML! I was able to get help with the videos and the "get unstuck" button. It kept me so interested the whole time. I was at my computer for 2 days straight because I didn't want to stop! Thank you so much Codecademy!
