Learn everything you need to know about HTML and HTML5 and how to use it over a single weekend with this highly informative course. Taught by Robin Nixon, author of Learning PHP, MySQL and JavaScript (the most popular book on web development worldwide for over two years), this course covers everything you need to know about using the power of HTML5 to create highly dynamic websites. Each of the 20 sections in the course should take you an hour or less to complete. So you could master all of HTML and HTML5 in a single weekend!

Because it starts from the first principles of HTML, you need no prior knowledge of the subject, since the course begins with a thorough introduction to HTML (which skilled users can skip), before moving onto what's new in HTML5. Some of the key concepts covered in this course include the HTML5 canvas, geolocation, advanced form handling, pattern matching, managing times and dates, using local storage, embedding audio and video, and much more. Once you have these techniques in your toolkit you'll be able to create professional looking, highly dynamic and addictive websites. And if you're new to it you'll even learn a little JavaScript along the way.
