This document is a brief introduction to a project assigned to E115 students at NC State University. I've put it up on my page to provide to everyone a simple and easy to follow guide to basic HTML. In addition, view the source code of various pages to find out what THEY did, and you'll pick up some cool tricks. You really shouldn't email any of the people listed in the doc unless you have a correction; that is, if you have a question ask me or someone else you know, not the people listed (they're too busy teaching E115).
Or, if you prefer, here is the webpage for a course I am currently taking, Web Page Development (Csc251). It contains a lot of good html reference, especially for beginners.
