New tutorial released: HTML (part 1)
A new tutorial has been released on HTML.
HTML is depended on in one way or another by every website on the internet and it is well worth the effort (HTML is very easy) to get to grips with the basics of it.
The tutorial covers the latest version of HTML. This doesn’t mean that it includes how to make HTML5 games, more that it avoids the obsolete parts of HTML4 that it is now recommended that people do not use.
See the tutorial here.
