Basic Computer Coding: HTML (3rd Edition)

Learn HTML from the ground up

Basic Computer Coding: HTML (3rd Edition) offers a structured introduction to the language behind web pages, starting with the broader context of web design and then moving into the mechanics of HTML itself. It is the kind of title that suits readers who prefer a clear, practical progression: first understand the web, then learn how HTML shapes content, layout, forms, and presentation.

This edition has been revised chapter by chapter and expanded with new material, which gives it a fresh, classroom-friendly feel. The table of contents suggests a deliberate path through the subject: web design basics, responsive design principles, HTML document structure, elements and meta tags, hyperlinks and images, forms, HTML5 features, SVG, and web storage.

What the book covers

• Fundamentals of web design and the history of the web
• Core HTML structure and document setup
• Elements, tags, metadata, lists, tables, links, and images
• Forms and input controls
• HTML5 features, SVG, and browser storage

A practical guide for HTML learners

The tone of the material appears instructional rather than theoretical, with step-by-step explanation and examples at the center. That makes it a sensible fit for learners who want a guided introduction to HTML without being overwhelmed by jargon. If you are building your first pages or revisiting the basics with an updated edition, this title is positioned as a steady, methodical companion.

Edition and format notes

This listing reflects the 3rd edition and the supplied file identifies an e-book edition. The publication also notes a 2024 ebook release and a dedicated e-book ISBN, which helps distinguish it from the earlier printed version.

Why it stands out

Many HTML books jump quickly into code. This one appears to spend time on the foundation first, which is useful if you want the pieces to make sense as a system rather than as isolated tags. That can make a real difference when learning how web pages are built and why the markup is organized the way it is.
