HTML & CSS from scratch

                                      HTML & CSS from scratch: HTML & CSS course for absolute beginners.

The “HTML & CSS from scratch” course is a course for absolute beginners: individuals without prior knowledge of HTML and CSS, or newbies in tech generally. This course promises to deliver the necessary knowledge required to make a beginner transition from a “zero” point to a “hero” point.

Paschalyn, the instructor in this course, earned her Bachelor’s degree as an Educationist and a Computer programmer. During the pandemic, she considered giving full attention to her teaching passion, and so out of a burning desire to give a helping hand to society, she engaged in a couple of projects where she taught lots of students different courses: graphics design and software programming were her main courses. She began her journey by teaching school children in her home country, the Google CS first Scratch course. In 2022, she held the position of Course Director for the “1000 Women in Canva Scholarship Programme 2022” sponsored by Ingressive for Good(I4G) and Malhub Nig, where she taught a thousand women across the globe Graphics and Motion graphics using Canva. Still the same year, she worked with a Youth Empowerment Programme in her country, “The Scam Project”, where she taught undergraduates Graphics design using Canva. The record still counting, she has taught countless school children who are in their teen years Computer Science/Programming both physically and virtually.

This course was birthed as a result of the yearning to give an elaborate explanation of concepts in HTML and CSS which most tech newbies may be struggling to come to terms with. Paschalyn explains all the necessary details to a satisfactory level; she also adopts the use of explainer videos to aid her to achieve this goal.

Throughout this course, it is advisable for students to practice along in each lesson and also pay good attention in class. The students would engage in a lot of lessons but to highlight a few, students will learn:

• general understanding of what HTML and CSS are,
