30 Days to Learn HTML and CSS: a Free Tuts+ Premium Course

30 Days to Learn HTML and CSS: a Free Tuts+ Premium Course

on Nov 8th 2011 with 32 comments

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to build websites and web apps, HTML and CSS are the first skills you should learn. They are so fundamental that we believe everyone has the right to learn these skills for free.

We set ourselves the challenge of designing the most effective and enjoyable way to learn HTML and CSS in one month. The result is 30 Days to Learn HTML and CSS, a free Tuts+ Premium course. We’re really excited to share this with you today! (Plus, get a sneak peek at the new Tuts+ Premium.)

How it works

30 Days to Learn HTML and CSS is a thirty-day video course designed to be completed over one month. Veteran web developer and trainer Jeffrey Way will take you through a new topic each day, giving you the building blocks you need to eventually code an entire website based on a PSD design.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn HTML and CSS, but either didn’t have the time, didn’t know where to start, or didn’t quite ‘get it’, we’re pretty sure you’re going to love this free course. All you need to give us in return is 10 minutes a day to go through each video and build your knowledge.

Part of the new Tuts+ Premium

In the next few weeks we’ll be launching a complete reinvention of Tuts+ Premium, including a massive redesign and UX overhaul, member forums, a library of eBooks and in-depth courses teaching you skills from the inside out.

We’ve also drastically improved the way you access the content you know and love, with the ability to quickly filter content based on topic, difficulty, format, and estimated completion time.

30 Days to Learn HTML and CSS is one of the courses that will be available as part of the new Tuts+ Premium. This course is free, but the rest of the courses are available to members. We’ll be covering topics like HTML5, CSS3, WordPress, digital painting, web design and web typography.

For now, here are a few glimpses at the new Tuts+ Premium!


Selecting a topic allows you to filter by sub-category, format, difficulty, and estimated completion time.

Members can view content in their browser, rather than having to download it.

Full members get access to educational eBooks worth more than $400.

Juicy tabs!

    This is a really great initiative – it’s certainly a great way to encourage people like myself to learn a bit more HTML/CSS and extend these skills with the Tuts+ program.

  • Brian Jones

    Keep up the fantastic job guys!

  • http://whysodumb.com Abhimanyu

    Another iteration, of sorts? :D

  • Atul

    Thanks for the positive comments guys!

    @Atul – aw, that’s bad timing! When we launch, you’ll be able to explore the site and see if it’s worth bringing that time forward a bit :)

  • Rasmus

    This is to good to be true!

    u r the best site in my world middle east specifically (ksa)

  • currybill

    Brilliant initiative. Much needed. Hopefully will help me resolve so of the CSS problems I’m having with off-the-page web site design packages. For that you can have ten minutes of my day anytime!

  • Nicolas

    So great ! Free and just 10 minute a day ! Amazing

  • Daniel

    looks great!! please do the same for PHP & java

  • http://www.geniuzdesigns.de g3niuz

    Great news guys…

    im already afraid of the update..
    cant wait to see – the html css course is fresh as well :D

  • ronka

    Please make one for JS or PHP ! thanks !

  • http://www.psd-dude.com john

    Great idea, that way you will encourage people to build their own website (like I did :) ), without using tools like wordpress ! And some javascript basics would also help .

  • Rich

    Please do consider creating a course that covers PHP/JS/jQuery as this would really cover all the bases and add extra enhancements to a site.

  • Kamil

    That is awesome news.

  • http://webbannersizes.net Tom

    Very nice initiative. I wish I was still a beginner.

  • Eric Greenfield

    didn’t he just make a whole series on html?

    http://net.tutsplus.com/sessions/web-design-from-scratch/

    is this a new one or the same?

  • Philkav82

    everyone has the right to learn these skills for free?! YET I need a premium account

    • http://psd.tutsplus.com/ Grant Friedman

      You don’t need a premium account to view the HTML and CSS series. It is completely free.

  • Daniel

    hey Grant,

    I would like to watch this offline? I was wondering instead of downloading them one by one…can I just download them in 1 package.

    thank you

    • http://psd.tutsplus.com/ Grant Friedman

      If you would like to download them I think you’ll have to do it 1 by 1.

  • Dejan

    Thank you guys for sharing! I will try this and I hope that I will finally learn something about css because I’m a graphic designer who thinks in vectors and images not in codes and lines… :)
    Cheers!!

  • Nichole

    Stoked to see the new layout and content. So glad I’m a premium member.

  • http://titan-creative.net S3bY

    Great news! This might be the thing that might convince me to go premium!

  • http://lazaac.com lazaac

    i love freebies… thanks a lot TutsPlus!

  • http://laurenharrison.org Lauren

    Even though I already know HTML and CSS something like this is pretty handy to recap with. Thanks guys :)

  • currybill

    Hello Grant,
    Do we have a start date for the XHTML & CSS tuts yet? I ask merely because I’m working my way through a book on the subject and think that additional input always a benefit.

    • http://psd.tutsplus.com/ Grant Friedman

      It’s online right now.

  • http://mheat.pl Xenia

    I think that everyone should have something to say abous basic techniques of building websites, nowadeys…HTML and CSS are really simple and it won’t cost a lot of efford to learn them.

    nevertheless, great job form you, guys!

  • http://www.charmhandbags.com Chanel

    Thanks for this post. I thinks this is very good course for those beginners. I really want to learn such knowledge.

  • http://www.souldgraphix.com Sam

    Just completed day 14 Assignment and loving this series so far. Well thought out and very easy to understand for someone new to Html / Css like myself. Many thanks to the author and net tuts, I look forward to more series like these. Feel like I am finally grasping the idea and it all makes sense now =D

  • currybill

    I am gradually working my way through this very instructive tutorial. I’m up to Day 7 now and have learned more in a week than I did at college in a year! OK maybe there were other distractions. But Guys I have a problem with the Sublime Text 2 Editor. I do not get the full control / tool bar as shown. Nor can I find a ‘view in browser’ command; I assume it will open in my default browser if I can locate the command. I tried the ‘support’ but I’d have to be a computer technician to understand all the stuff about inserting plugins etc there. Has anyone else had problems with ST2? Help would be very much appreciated. KR
