I’m doing a speed review of the HTML Essential Training course from Lynda.com / LinkedIn Learning. It’s a good course and I learned a few things I didn’t know, despite working with HTML since the “table layout” days.
I went through the course through LinkedIn Learning a couple of weeks ago (as well as going through it on Lynda.com a year or so ago), but I wanted to make one more quick pass to make a list of the links to public resources from the course:
- W3C HTML5 reference and markup validator
- WhatWG HTML Living Standard
- WebPlatform (site not live, but available on GitHub)
- Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) HTML reference
- W3C doctype reference (from 2002!)
- Content models interactive graph (courtesy of W3C)
- list of XML and HTML character entities from Wikipedia
- HTML 5 outliner (there’s also an extension for Brackets)
- The Paciello Group blog for WAI-ARIA and accessibility
- Google’s Web Fundamentals (was html5rocks.com)
- HTML 5 Doctor
And here are direct links to some of the individual videos in the course:
- DOCTYPE declarations
- The document head ( <head> tag)
- The document body ( <body> tag)
- Understanding content models
- Controlling line breaks
- Displaying special characters (named character entities)
- Controlling whitespace (the correct use of )
- Controlling document outlines
- The nav element
- The article element
- The section element
- The aside element
- The div element
- Other semantic elements: header(s), footer(s), main
(can have multiple headers/footers, but only one main per pg) - Using WAI-ARIA roles
- Linking to downloadable resources
- Definition (description) lists
