“HTML, CSS, JS finally clicked. I built my first site in a weekend — no fluff, just steps that work.”
Build real websites from zero — fast.
A beginner-friendly guide that takes you from clean, semantic HTML to responsive CSS and interactive JavaScript. Learn by doing, then finish with a small interactive site you can show off.
Learn the web the practical way — HTML, CSS & JavaScript from scratch
If you’ve never written a line of code, this book is for you. We start at the very beginning and build up in small, confident steps until you can structure pages with semantic HTML, style layouts with CSS (including Flexbox & Grid), and add real interactivity with JavaScript (DOM, events, simple validation, and fetching data). You’ll learn by reading, typing, and testing—no complicated setup required beyond a browser and a free editor.
You’ll practice how to:
- Using boolean operations to combine basic shapes into complex icons
- Structure pages with headings, lists, images, tables, forms, and semantic layout (header/nav/main/section/article/footer).
- Style with selectors, the box model, layout (display/position), Flexbox, Grid, responsive design, and tasteful effects.
- Program with JavaScript: variables, functions, DOM selection & updates, event handling, basic form validation, and fetch for APIs.
- Ship a final project: plan, build, style, and add interactivity to a small website.
You’ll also find short exercises, mini-quizzes, diagrams, and downloadable starter files to reinforce each lesson.

Some kind words from early customers...
We worked with a small group of early access customers to make sure all of the content in the book was exactly what they needed. Hears what they had to say about the finished product.
