Learning HTML through the lens of Typography

HTML may sound like it is in the realms of programmers and hackers, but it is actually very accessible. HTML is all about creating a document that both you and your browser understands.

Why I am teaching this class? Because it pains me to see designers intimidated by code, and I want to do something about it. Got a question or a request? Find me @tonyhschu!

Prerequisites
