I recently wanted to brush up on my HTML skills.  I knew basic HTML, enough to edit an existing HTML file – change colors, add a border to a table, edit the font, etc., but I had never really learned HTML from beginning to end.  It has also been several years since I did any work with CSS.  So I was looking online for a good resource to refresh my

knowledge of web programming languages.  I found a great website, Codecademy, that will teach you the basics of coding – it’s self paced and you get out of it what you put into it.  The user interface is really easy to use and follow the lesson plan.  The lessons themselves are good sized bites of information and are organized in such a way that a busy professional can pick up and put down the lesson work easily without losing their place.

I have already completed both the HTML and CSS learning modules, and am currently working on the JQuery module.  The extra nice thing is they give you some projects to work on to practice your new skills.  They offer more advanced programming languages as well, such as JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, Python and PHP.

Disclaimer:  I have received no compensation for this review….  In fact, Codecademy probably doesn’t even know that I wrote this review.  I just love to bring attention to a website that offers a great service to help people learn new things.  This is a wonderful example of how knowledge should be shared online.
