The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!

I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.

And it’s free for all. 🚀

I made a ton of progress over the weekend. It’s looking like HTML for People will go out this weekend or sooner!

@bw This looks rad. I am such a huge believer in the web being first-and-foremost a creative medium for non-technical people. Everything we can do to demystify jargon and reduce friction, the better!

HTML for People update:

- Finished a round of proofreading
- Added alt text to 70+ images
- Linked up a ton of resources (used Perma.cc on some of them to prevent link rot)
- Tweaked typography and color scheme
- Repressed symptoms of imposter syndrome enough to get the above done

Still a ton more to do but it’s coming along. I’m looking at a release date around November or December probably.

I've made it far enough into my HTML for People tutorial series that I felt comfortable enough to buy the domain name and throw up a landing page.
