Google's HTML, CSS, and Javascript from the Ground Up (code.google.com)
98 points by folz on Sept 14, 2010 | hide | past | favorite | 7 comments



Did not even know that Google have a form of "university" where they provide tutorials and "courses". Google definitely seems to be expanding it's horizons in what it can provide to its users. This is pretty amazing as well because other Search engines just can't seem to compete with Google (maybe yahoo) and its notoriety. Anyone else think that Google may end up taking a good portion (if not already) of the internet? That is, Google's influence over sites (such as using Google's engine on their site) and it's extending its already common usage.

( This is my first post, so hopefully this comments is in accordance to HN standards. Let me know if it isn't! :( )


This is just the sort of resource that I will pass along to friends who want to start learning how to make web pages. Would be fun to see the series continued with similar introductions to the next levels of programming beyond HTML, CSS and Javascript.


Wow. I was actually just looking for something like this as a way to brush up on my basics... I feel like I've learned a lot about certain things through trial and error and a background with actual structure might be worth looking into.


I feel the same way too. Most of what I knew about HTML/CSS was through trail and error (especially for CSS). Now I am thinking of redesigning my whole site using what I've learned from these videos.

Also, I know of some friends who have expressed interest in learning web-design, they might get some use of this, as it is simple, comprehensive and easy to pick up. An excellent piece of work from Google.


Thanks! As a developer looking to get into web programming, this is <em>exactly</em> what I was looking for!


@alf: thanks for the kind words! Another great resource for web programming is w3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/), on the off chance you haven't already found it.


Cool, I'll use it as a reference for my clients who ask about learning "web sites".
