Same here! And a lot of the time I just copy and paste pages from my previous work in native HTML + php + css rather than use an environment such as Wordpress.
Hi Andre, why do people still use PHP? I built a rest api with node js and a similar one with PHP. Nodejs api takes 90ms for a request whereas the php api takes >500ms on the same PC.
@@MrShivamgautam1 Because nodejs requires more server resources to run and still php is intended to be used as a weblanguage and nodejs is more than just the web. Also programming in php is very easy to learn and people don't want to learn somethingelse that is more difficult to setup and completely different than php. By the way, no offense to nodejs, nodejs is really cool and it has many advantages but still it is not a full replacement for php.
At least this proves Christopher is human after all and not the super AI android we have suspected for many years :-) Or is he, and this a ruse to throw us off the scent? Hmmm :-) Thanks for re-uploading....
No, his unit test for this component wasn't completed before the uploaded. Once he is fully integrated (future upgrade) into the internet these error fixes will be invisible to us.
Been years since I last made a web page with HTML. Perfect time for a refresher. **Like riding a bicycle, I guess. Hadn't forgot as much as I thought :)
In my fourth quarter of computer, they said i will have to make a website myself. I was dumbfound at first, but when i first clicked on this video, its like as if i already know how to make a good web page! this video is one of the best web page tutorials u can find, easy to understand, and i really love the way you made things easy to learn! Thanks from the Philippines!
I practiced web coding in Codecademy 3 years ago which is a significant website, but your tutorial makes HTML look easier with the demonstrations. Thank you.
Memories :-) In the beginning of the 90ies being an assistant to the professor the whole thing evolved. I remeber those times when I started with notepad to create my first web pages. Thank you for this video!
I never stopped using Notepad, even for the most complex sites i have made. Then later i used a few different WYSIWYG Website Builders to steal the HTML and paste it into Notepad. Really glad i stayed with Notepad.
Chris you are really a piece of work, man. You can make the most boring mundane stuff seem interesting. Watching this video I actually felt myself get excited at the prospects of coding. And you have a simple (yet thorough) way of explaining things. Anybody can grasp it if it comes from you. I honestly think my 89 year old father could create a web page if I showed him this video first. You deserve every one of your 1,000,000 subscribers, and all the love they have for you. Keep it up, bud!
So I watched this yesterday and when it came to end it was no more, and my face was 😶 where did it go . Nice to see it's back. I decided about 15 years ago to give HTML a try and started making my own very basic web pages / sites as weekend hobby, knowing the basics kept me working when my usual job with as estate sales administrator started to go pear shaped. I went on to using Dreamweaver and pulled through. But if I hadn't had the basics I would not have convinced I was a member worth keeping, albeit 6 months more but time to find my feet and then go self-employed. How a little can go far. So this brings a mixed good memory of surviving a difficult time. Thanks as always.
Kind of knew about this basic stuff nearly 20 years back, but it went half-forgotten. It was nice to freshen it up, and it was an entertaining, uncomplicated although informative kind of content I really enjoyed, especially these hard times we are going through. Thanks once again!
The information and concepts presented in this video are things, which I would have considered in the past, to be too cumbersome or time consuming to learn. Yet, ignoring introductions and conclusions, in under 20 minutes I have learned something which I never thought I would have learned in this lifetime. I don't know if I will ever create a web page, but what I do know is that if I ever decide to undertake such a task, it will not be as time consuming or as daunting as I would have believed in the past. Thank you for this. I am sure the University of Nottingham very much misses your guidance and expertise with students of all ages. On a completely unrelated note, as part of Easter dinner, I baked a Strawberry/Rhubarb Pie with a butter flavoured lard crust -- something I am presently experimenting with. My socially isolated family and myself really seemed to enjoy this. I look forward to you baking Raspberry Pie during the mid summer. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Hi Chris. I learned this about 25 years ago. Been paid to do it for over 20. Still, you had my full attention for 20 minutes and 55 seconds. I find that a bit odd but very funny :D
I learned HTML when I was very young, but I left it at that and didn't really write any more code for many years. Now I'm learning JavaScript, and this video was very useful as a refresher on HTML. Thank you!
This was a pleasant surprise(nostalgic for many of us) Christopher! I thought I need not see this video. But when I saw it from a beginner's perspective, I was amazed by the simplicity of your explanations. Good going Professor!
I learned this back in 2005 when I was around 14, and also learned CSS. There was this website called W3Schools and was pretty good for learning web languages the practical way. Knowing this has been very useful. Even if the web has changed a lot since then and no longer you need to know this, it is always useful one way or another. I don't know what the problem was in the previous video, just I hope you can recover from that. As always, thanks for teaching us all so diligently. Knowledge is power.
Chris, not to put any pressure on you my friend, but this weekly dose of very interesting tech knowledge is a very big part of my life mate. Even throughout the week my mind often asks itself "have you seen this weeks EC?" The reason i'm saying this brother is to let you know how appreciated you are. You're making the world a better place and if everyone was like you it would be perfect. A massive THANK YOU Chris - from all of us.
Back in the 90s, I created webpages using html for myself and others, but then the technology seemed to change and I felt like my pages were going to be left behind. Life happened too and so I stopped creating webpages. But I have recently wanted to restart my own website again and thought I would have to pay someone else to do it. This video gives me confidence to again create my website with html, since I already know it... after some knowledge refreshing. Thanks!
Genius man you are. Honestly I have learned more in 20 minutes watching this video then weeks reading or watching other videos. Thank you so much and I look forward to a video about CSS.
HTML is indeed a very straightforward programming language, but quite a few people aren't aware of that. Your explanations take the 'voodoo' out of it, which is a very good thing. :-D Please do carry this into CSS. I can't think of a better way for the inexperienced to get a broader sense of how web pages work, and your illustrations are a great help for it. Thanks for another great video Chris.
@@millomweb Well... One of the biggest rules for programming (in any high - level language) is : Don't repeat yourself. So if you have a web site with multiple pages and you need a common style for each page, CSS accomplishes this easily with one call on each page to the CSS code (file). Not only that but, how can it be done with just straight HTML without repeating the style code on each page? Repetition in programming provides an ability to create errors/bugs that have to be tracked down at multiple sources in the code. The larger a web site gets, the easier CSS makes the control of its collective style. Also; with the more recent CSS libraries available, your style code can be a lot more useful/powerful than it used to be, all in the same paradigm of one file of code for multiple pages. Possibly you could discuss any other languages for web dev that can do better?
@@srtcsb "One of the biggest rules for programming (in any high - level language) is : Don't repeat yourself." AKA 'A single point of maintenance' ! Also applies to spreadsheets ! "how can it be done with just straight HTML without repeating the style code on each page?" Not really a big issue. It offers page to page flexibility. Hell of a lot btter than Google's sites editor - starts and ends formatting for every line ! One such page, I reduced the file size by 80% but lost none of the content - by deleting duplicitous formatting ! I totally get the point re making site pages have a common appearance and being able to change it site-wide easily. Whether I'll ever get a 450 page site again, I don't know !
I have written any HTML for 20+ years. It's amazing how much this video jogged my memory. It's really inspired me to get back into it and have a tinker. Thank you very much sir!
@@Gansteeth Thats the best part of it....when you fall in love with it.....I would like to get into contact with you ...through dms...are you on telegram?
Took me back 20 years and made me grin! I love your videos Chris, Linux, HTML (event BSD UNIX recently) your videos show how much and how little has changed. Time to make an introductory video on C perhaps? Could use OS's inbuilt compiler.
Super useful for starters, very good explained and structured. This video is so underrated, i feel like more people should start watching and sharing these videos. Edit: Grammar
This brought back many memories from high school. I use google's blogger because I don't need a site but due to the nature of my work, I should have a page for namesake. This video made me invest a little bit of time and money on making my own website. Thanks Chris for another great video.
You can use Blogger and delete all of the HTML and add your own, but you have to use the old template. I've got a lovely website using Blogger but Chris's way is better because now i can make it on my Desktop and just upload it all to Amazon.
I just in morning searching for the courses to become a web developer actually i have completed a certification course in web designing and really you have explained every single bit of a beginning of html and i just wanted to learn to create a dynamic website designing with mysql and java,html,css from you sir please post a full course video series for that. Thank you sir @ExplaningComputers.
yes, this was very useful. I remember when html was all the rage and i taught myself by trial & error, looking at a few books and experimenting. it was quite fun when useful results were produced. then came along Dreamweaver and many other fast track web design programs that made things easier but in the process created some dissociation with the original structure and intent of html. it is nice to be reminded of the underlying structure and realize that the essence of the design can be created in such a simple manner. please continue with this topic as it leads into CSS and other later developments. thanks for lessons.
I am very impressed. Very professional, informative, direct and to the point. Before this video, I never gave much attention to HTML at all. I will now. Thank you.
Another fantastic, clear and concise video. The 23 thumbs down are (I presume) from those on-line tutors charging silly money to teach this same information but less well......
I first learned some HTML from a guide on Neopets when I was just about a teenager and went on to code a little fanpage for a TV show character I was brainrotting hard over at the time. Alas, I'm still on training wheels about a decade later and have since attempted to write a full-blown website, failed, forgot about it, and then recently remembered that I had one, and decided to give HTML another go. This really helped a lot and I've had a good afternoon of writing HTML and going nuts with the
Been teaching my grandsons this very same basic notepad html web page creation. Kids today are unbelievably quick to pick this stuff and run...once you get use to the code it just comes natural. LOL... When I first started in the early 90's it was Egyptian hieroglyphs...😎
Fantastic video i literally know nothing about coding until this, so i designed a webpage for fun since im interested in learning the skill. This info goes the distance!
Thanks for all videos full of concise and distilled information which are very helpful to develop understanding on computers I have watched most of your videos and seen that likes around ten thousands. But frankly İ say yours are the most useful videos ever i have seen on this platform. Please go. As an examplar i resolved html with this video in couple of mins. Thank you
This video makes me interested in html. Thanks for your generosity for teaching us such a good thing even though it's kinda outdated. But as a newbie, this channel helps me to learn most of the knowledge of computers. Glad I found your channel, Sir. You're the best!
This video has peeked my interest, I will in the futrue learn HTML for personal use, but may (hopefully) use it in my professional life. Thank you for another eye opening video! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
even thought i already made my own webpage (its about to get on web) i will still watch this video cuz i like this guys videos and maybe i missed something when making webpage
This is the best method of making web pages, I have used it for years. I do not recommend the lazy wysiwyg editors. They throw up all sorts of errors in the real world.
Starting from scratch is always better than using those websites on how to make a website..they are so limited! Geez now I have to find my folder on my old XP machine I saved it on when I made webpages. Thanks Chris for giving me an extra project lol.
Wonderful, Chris. This is a bright ray of intelligence on RUclips on coding and it is appreciated. I have most of your books and will now scour Amazon for anything I may have missed Please be SAFE!
Nice episode, as always. Little rushed though in my opinion. I would have made a two parter. And shouldn't be instead of be used because it's more abstract? is litterally *bold* while leaves it to the device used how to display it. Can be bold or something other. Also for and .
i really like how you explain things. You're a fun teacher, i like the style. Please do, not only a more in depth explanation oh html, but also i'd love a CSS tutorial
Nice introduction. The smallest proper formatted HTML is actually this. Min page You only must have a title-tag. Everything is optional. h1-h6 is about structure, not size. So you could use CSS to set size, font and colour etc. Except from that it is a good introduction.
Takes me back to the early 1980's and using WordStar word processor on an 40 column non WYSIWYG screen. If you forgot to use the end tag on any action like bold, italics or underline it would run through the final document print out. Happened many times through the average day. Amazing how far we've come.
After watching the episodes on Linux Mint I started playing around with that, then the episode on AWS which I set up my own online storage for exchanging files with my son, now looks like I'm going to dabble with HTML, just as well iv'e got a lot of time on my hands at the moment. Also found the video on SD cards very informative, keep these great videos coming Chris.
This really does highlight how HTML has changed and evolved in the last 20 years. In the early days, you had to specify styling every single time where you wanted it to occur, imagine the time it would take to maintain dozens of pages. Fancy doing a lesson on CSS, Chris? I think people will get a good kick in simplifying their code with the code-once-apply-many principle! ;)
Great introductory video on HTML. Like how you demo in Notepad, which really shows the simplicity to get started. After that you can build on your own creativity.
this is a simple to understand video on html, tho you did miss some stuff at notepad (2:51 you forgot to mention to change the Save as file type to all files), you covered up a lot of stuff and give examples for the beginners. Keep doing the hard work and yes, I would like to learn about CSS!
I liked the presentation. I was surprised when it began with the html tag. But there's nothing wrong with that. I commend your choosing to do a video on this topic. Simple HTML files should run in any browser on a decent operating system - today and tomorrow. Like comma-separated-values files. One can do a lot, and easily share, with only - HTML, CSV, PNG, and PDF. (I don't know about video.) Thank you for choosing to do a video on this topic.
Excellent video! I'll tell my daughter to watch it, she'd like to know how to make a webpage and use HTML. I gave her some of my HTML-books but they are probably a bit dry and big. But this is perfect as a start! (Happy Easter by the way!)
You're videos are amazing, you are a great RUclipsr and your method of teaching is extraordinary. This video taught us how to use notepad in the space of 20 minutes and I do not know any other channels that are capable of that. If you made another Notepad/html based video, could you make it on Notepad++ to show us how to integrate other programming languages into our html code? It is possible but I am struggling to integrate my Python code for some reason. Keep up the good work and take a break if needed!
Nice video Chris. Like some of the other commenters i knew all the HTML info but i did not know you can upload the whole lot to Amazon and get them to serve it. That is awesome information thank you. Dropbox used to do it using a Public Folder but they stopped it for some reason and i think that's what discouragedme from making anymore websites and pages. I hope Amazon keep it going. Thanks again Chris - stay safe mate.
Still gets a like, nice and simple and I'm sure you've helped a few people to want to learn more. Of course, the like is also for the inclusion of a map. (will I say Easter Eggs again?)
Ah crap. Don't confuse me with breakfast. I'm so behind on this computer stuff. Last time I was up to scratch on one of these machines, the monitor was molded with the tower. 😆
21 minutes later and HTML is no longer (to me) a language native to another star system. Your presentations are excellent.
Thanks.
Aaron, have fun mate. Making your own website is one of the best experiences using a computer. You can also upload images and make them clickable ;)
HTML is a human technology.
Yesterday I was making webapplication in php, and yet, I'm watching Christopher talking about HTML. I'm such a fan!
PHP is cool. :)
Same here! And a lot of the time I just copy and paste pages from my previous work in native HTML + php + css rather than use an environment such as Wordpress.

I first learned some HTML from a guide on Neopets when I was just about a teenager and went on to code a little fanpage for a TV show character I was brainrotting hard over at the time.
Alas, I'm still on training wheels about a decade later and have since attempted to write a full-blown website, failed, forgot about it, and then recently remembered that I had one, and decided to give HTML another go. This really helped a lot and I've had a good afternoon of writing HTML and going nuts with the
I just feel like an HTML pro spending 20 minutes to watch this. Thank you, sir, this video is VERY!!! informative
Thanks so much for the video. You really are the best channel around. I trust all your reviews and teachings!
Been teaching my grandsons this very same basic notepad html web page creation. Kids today are unbelievably quick to pick this stuff and run...once you get use to the code it just comes natural. LOL... When I first started in the early 90's it was Egyptian hieroglyphs...😎
Fantastic video i literally know nothing about coding until this, so i designed a webpage for fun since im interested in learning the skill. This info goes the distance!
You are one of the best professional presentrs.
Your presentations are neat and easy to understand by viewers
Thanks for all videos full of concise and distilled information which are very helpful to develop understanding on computers I have watched most of your videos and seen that likes around ten thousands. But frankly İ say yours are the most useful videos ever i have seen on this platform. Please go.
As an examplar i resolved html with this video in couple of mins.
Thank you
Thanks for your kind feedback, much appreciated.
This video makes me interested in html. Thanks for your generosity for teaching us such a good thing even though it's kinda outdated. But as a newbie, this channel helps me to learn most of the knowledge of computers. Glad I found your channel, Sir. You're the best!
Thanks for watching. :) HTML is not outdated -- it is still very widely used, even if there are now other web technologies.
This video has peeked my interest, I will in the futrue learn HTML for personal use, but may (hopefully) use it in my professional life. Thank you for another eye opening video! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
How've you got on ?
even thought i already made my own webpage (its about to get on web) i will still watch this video cuz i like this guys videos and maybe i missed something when making webpage
Thanks for watching.
ExplainingComputers no problem :)
Hello. I just want to ask if is there another software aside from html were making web?
@@lovelynflor1995 php is also common.
@@lovelynflor1995 also that's a programming language not software.
Kudos! You took a very intimidating subject and empowered me in less than 1/2 an hour👏🏼
Very nicely explained! Takes me back to 1995 when I taught myself basic html and wrote my first very crude webpage in Notepad!
I'm from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 and HTML is my tommoro practical and you're really explain clearly thanks a lot sir 🙏
This is the best method of making web pages, I have used it for years. I do not recommend the lazy wysiwyg editors. They throw up all sorts of errors in the real world.
10:02 That was a very sneaky page refresh !
So easy explanation sir, thanks. I am no related to computer knowledge but after saw this video, I am sure to make my own webpage till next Sunday.
Starting from scratch is always better than using those websites on how to make a website..they are so limited! Geez now I have to find my folder on my old XP machine I saved it on when I made webpages. Thanks Chris for giving me an extra project lol.
LOT'S OF LOVE FROM INDIA THIS HELPED ME A LOT AND I UNDERSTOOD THE HTML AS I AM IN CLASS 7 IT HELPED ME
This video reminds me of when I wrote simple web pages back in the day before CSS...
Thanks, Christopher :)
Wonderful, Chris. This is a bright ray of intelligence on RUclips on coding and it is appreciated. I have most of your books and will now scour Amazon for anything I may have missed Please be SAFE!
Nice episode, as always. Little rushed though in my opinion. I would have made a two parter.
And shouldn't be instead of be used because it's more abstract? is litterally *bold* while leaves it to the device used how to display it. Can be bold or something other. Also for and .
i really like how you explain things. You're a fun teacher, i like the style. Please do, not only a more in depth explanation oh html, but also i'd love a CSS tutorial
Thankyou so much this vid was really helpful.I cant believe that this vid got only 82k views .It should have gotten at least a million
Thanks for watching! :)
Here i am restoring my comment 😁
"I made few robots and i controlled them using HTML/javascript webpage"
And now watching video 👍
Been there.
Thanks.
I’ve always wanted to learn html so its really nice to have this video
Your knowledge of things blows my mind. Excellent video. I would love to see more videos like this one. Thanks.
You sir have saved my life in my college classes. I'm greatly appreciative.
Great to hear!
Nice content. It's a good video to kickoff someone's html learning journey.
Nice introduction.
The smallest proper formatted HTML is actually this.
Min page
You only must have a title-tag. Everything is optional.
h1-h6 is about structure, not size. So you could use CSS to set size, font and colour etc.
Except from that it is a good introduction.
Takes me back to the early 1980's and using WordStar word processor on an 40 column non WYSIWYG screen.
If you forgot to use the end tag on any action like bold, italics or underline it would run through the final document print out.
Happened many times through the average day.
Amazing how far we've come.
Back to the past! I still remember that time!
I know this is a super late comment but just wanted to say this has helped me tremendously thank you!
After watching the episodes on Linux Mint I started playing around with that, then the episode on AWS which I set up my own online storage for exchanging files with my son, now looks like I'm going to dabble with HTML, just as well iv'e got a lot of time on my hands at the moment. Also found the video on SD cards very informative, keep these great videos coming Chris.
Thank for watching -- and trying things out! Always the best way to learn, and stay sane at the moment. :)
I am a senior software engineer and a university lecturer still watch your videos and enjoy your delivery.
:)
Fantastic. Meticulously explained as usual, so much so that the only mistake I made was to spell correctly. 😉
This really does highlight how HTML has changed and evolved in the last 20 years. In the early days, you had to specify styling every single time where you wanted it to occur, imagine the time it would take to maintain dozens of pages. Fancy doing a lesson on CSS, Chris? I think people will get a good kick in simplifying their code with the code-once-apply-many principle! ;)
CSS is a logical follow-up video. :)
I feel like I understand a new language after 20 min. Thank you
:)
Great introductory video on HTML. Like how you demo in Notepad, which really shows the simplicity to get started. After that you can build on your own creativity.
Came back to see this and enjoyed every minute.
Thanks.
Great to hear, and motivates me to make the follow-up CSS episode next month. :)
Wow - while you weren't looking I liked your video. You have inspired me to and learn html - thank you.
this is a simple to understand video on html, tho you did miss some stuff at notepad (2:51 you forgot to mention to change the Save as file type to all files), you covered up a lot of stuff and give examples for the beginners.
Keep doing the hard work and yes, I would like to learn about CSS!
That was a hell of a lot of fun. Something to mess around with until they let us roam free again. Thanks.
This had precisely everything I needed! How to show links and open them in a new tab.
Thanks for the update Chris. Have a safe and relaxing weekend and we will see you next Sunday.
I liked the presentation. I was surprised when it began with the html tag. But there's nothing wrong with that. I commend your choosing to do a video on this topic. Simple HTML files should run in any browser on a decent operating system - today and tomorrow. Like comma-separated-values files. One can do a lot, and easily share, with only - HTML, CSV, PNG, and PDF. (I don't know about video.) Thank you for choosing to do a video on this topic.
Excellent video! I'll tell my daughter to watch it, she'd like to know how to make a webpage and use HTML. I gave her some of my HTML-books but they are probably a bit dry and big. But this is perfect as a start! (Happy Easter by the way!)
Fantastic!
I am head php developer at BitBiz.nl and still I am watching this video 😂 Nice videos mate!
You're videos are amazing, you are a great RUclipsr and your method of teaching is extraordinary. This video taught us how to use notepad in the space of 20 minutes and I do not know any other channels that are capable of that. If you made another Notepad/html based video, could you make it on Notepad++ to show us how to integrate other programming languages into our html code? It is possible but I am struggling to integrate my Python code for some reason.
Keep up the good work and take a break if needed!
Thank you! 😃
Thanks Chris! Please continue the HTML series!
Excellent explanation from an excellent educator. Reminds me of my days in the academy.
Great Video !! I need CSS for a project with the ESP32. The Video about CSS is very interesting for me !
Thank you very much i must say im a little impressed of my self for making a website and i want to thank you for helping me.
Great to hear that you made a site! :)
Nice video Chris. Like some of the other commenters i knew all the HTML info but i did not know you can upload the whole lot to Amazon and get them to serve it. That is awesome information thank you. Dropbox used to do it using a Public Folder but they stopped it for some reason and i think that's what discouragedme from making anymore websites and pages. I hope Amazon keep it going.
Thanks again Chris - stay safe mate.
thank a lot! It is my first video about html language and your explanation is super easy
Glad to see the video is back.
Thanks.
I thought you said, "Glad to see the back of your video"
Still gets a like, nice and simple and I'm sure you've helped a few people to want to learn more. Of course, the like is also for the inclusion of a map. (will I say Easter Eggs again?)
Ah crap. Don't confuse me with breakfast. I'm so behind on this computer stuff. Last time I was up to scratch on one of these machines, the monitor was molded with the tower. 😆
