What is this?
HTML Day is a FREE, beginner‑friendly, all-ages event where people from all over the world meet in-person to learn about and write their own handmade HTML webpages!
HTML
is the most basic building block of the Web. It forms the structure and meaning of every website
you've ever visited.
HTML Energy is all around us and in this very website. It's worth celebrating!
Who is it for?
Literally anyone. No coding skills or prior experience required.
Everyone can learn to code in HTML. If you can read and write (or type) then you can write HTML!
Don't worry if you don't know HTML, we'll all help each other out. 😃
