Announcing the Publication of Learning HTML

I’m happy to announce that my new ebook, Learning HTML: A Quick and Dirty Guide for Writers, has hit the virtual bookshelves.

As you probably know, most of what you find on the web is formatted with HTML (short for HyperText Markup Language). While you don’t need to know HTML to publish on the web, knowing HTML can definitely be an advantage. Especially when you need to fix bad or broken formatting.

That’s where Learning HTML comes in. By working through this book, you’ll quickly learn the basics of HTML. You’ll be able to work comfortably and confidently with HTML code when you need to. Regardless of whether you’re a blogger, a journalist, a content strategist, or a technical writer, knowing HTML will benefit you and your career.

This book teaches you:

• The basic structure of a web page or document.
• How to create headings, paragraphs, and lists.
• How to build tables.
• How to add images, audio, and video to your web pages or documents.

And a little bit more. None of that’s complex. It just takes a bit of effort to learn and to master.

Learning HTML is based on the shortcuts I’ve used, as well as the training I’ve given to colleagues and other writers over the years. I’ve distilled what I’ve taught to all those writers into short, easy-to-understand and easy-to-digest chapters. After reading this book, you won't be a web designer or a web developer. You will, however, have a solid foundation upon which you can build further knowledge of HTML and web technologies.

You can read a sample chapter if you’re curious. If you want to buy the book, you can find EPUB and PDF versions on Gumroad.
