My colleague has been asking me to teach him to code for years now. I decided I would start by teaching him the same way I started - by hand coding HTML. As a result, his website feels like a throwback to the early internet. I’m sharing this in case anyone else has an interest in teaching a friend. The steps I took were:
- I created a simple HTML cheat sheet for him: https://paul.copplest.one/knowledge/programming/html-cheatsheet.html https://paul.copplest.one/knowledge/programming/html-cheatsh...
- I helped him to sign up to Neocities (it’s free and simple!)
- I spend 1 hour going through the cheat sheet and helping him create a homepage and a blog page, with a link between them
I finished the lesson by setting some homework (to look through bulma and try use it on the site).
I also taught another colleague during the same lesson and they seem to be competing for the best site. This was unintentional but probably good thing.
Hope you enjoy his site!
