Learn HTML in 12 Minutes 

I look back on a video that I watched approximately 9-10 years ago, which marked my initial introduction to the field of programming. Today, I am proud to be working as a Python programmer, and I acknowledge the significance of that initial video in shaping my professional journey. I am thankful for the influence it had and for playing a part in my career growth.

Legends will watch this video in 2X speed and will learn HTML in 6 minutes.

Most video tutorials should be like this: quiet, straightforward, down to earth. Excellent video, Jake.

RU-vid is powerful, even a video of 2010 is still useful in 2019

This taught me more than my IT teacher taught me.

11 years later, still a legend for making this video

Hey Jake! Just wanted to let you know that this was my very first introduction to HTML in 2016 and it is the still the best decision I’ve made in years on RU-vid. I’m a Front-end Engineer now with an amazing organization and this video was the beginning. Thank you and keep being awesome!

Watched this video back in 2011 and is what inspired me to become a web developer.

This is a very old video, but it's the reason I currently develop. It all started here, 5 years ago when I first developed a website. Now I master php, python, js, etc. I can't thank you any better than subcribing and liking. Thank you.

after 12 years of this video being released......it still helps me for my tomorrow's computer practical exam, thank you Jake

perfect. for any beginner: learn html/css for a few weeks, then you may continue with java, pyhton or javascript. for 3-6 months if you created some work for your portfolio, you are good to go!

The great helper I saw your video a day before my computer practical. It really helped me . Thanks

RU-vid Comment Thanks for the video

10 years later but still more helpful that most profs. Helped a lot in the basics dude, thanks.

You've though me more in 12 minutes than me watching a 12 hour long tutorial. Thank you!!

I wish all instructional videos were this clear, concise and straight forward...!!! thank you.... 2019 (only for another week tbough)!!!

If my ICT teacher had an Irish accent like this guy, man, the things I could do with computers . . .

I've just watched 3 other basic HTML tutorials, was so confused, this video is a total winner, it explained the basic fundamental of HTML in a really understandable way especially for someone who has ZERO knowledge of it

I am a teacher of life science from India, who knew nothing about HTML 12min ago. You are a very effective and efficient teacher Sir. Iam sincerely grateful and thankful for what you imparted in this video! Others fail to do it in hours.

*Jake: yOu cAn sEe tHe lOvElY iMagE i cReAtEd* *Me: *cackles like a witch**

Thanks. I'm 2 days deep in a coding boot camp and you covered some things they never bothered to explain to idiots like me. Cheers

You taught me about Html in 12 mins better than my IT teacher did in 2 weeks..... Great video.... Thanks a bunch!! :)

This video was the one that got me into web development. I watched this video in 2019 and 5 years later in 2023, I'm now a C# backend developer. It wasn't easy, but I made it, so I figured I should pay this video a tribute.

Taught me more in 12 minutes than my GCSE teacher did in 2 years

im watching in 2019...anyone else? Holy sheet...so many likes!

Jake I can't understand how to thank you❤. This all started in April 2023, I had my first exam of computer of this year and I scored 9/20. But after watching your video lessons, I could understand everything and I scored 20/20. Thank you very very much. ❤

Dear Jake Wright, I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the immense knowledge and guidance you have provided me in learning the basics of HTML. Your teaching style, patience, and dedication to helping me understand the fundamental principles of HTML have been truly exceptional. Your ability to break down complex concepts into manageable and understandable pieces has made my learning journey smooth and enjoyable. Your passion for teaching and sharing your expertise is evident, and it has inspired me to delve deeper into the world of web development. Thanks to your mentorship, I now have a solid foundation in HTML, and I am excited about the possibilities and opportunities this knowledge opens up for me. Your support has been instrumental in my growth, and I am immensely grateful for your time and effort. I look forward to continuing this learning journey under your guidance and am eager to explore more in the realm of web development. Thank you once again for being an amazing teacher and mentor. With sincere appreciation, psyc

This video taught me stuff in 12 min and my Teacher is still teaching me how to open Pc 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

i'm watching in 2023 is anyone else. And every one is Legend watching this *video*.

Thanks a bunch, Jake. You're really a great teacher, you made learning the basics of HTML so simple, straightforward and fun. Absolutely loved your voice!❤️❤️

I have no words. So straight forward than my computer teacher. The best toturial.

Brother, this was a phenomenal intro to html101. This is my 30th minute into the world of HTML. I was about to give up but your simple and concise intro has encouraged me to stay curios . This is fabulous. Thank you and be blessed .

Great step by step video that ACTUALLY shows you how to integrate your code into a webpage rather than just teach you what tags and elements and things are.

No hype, no music, wonderful. Loved all about it,simple down to earth explanation, just as if learning from a friend sat beside me.

Just delving into HTML and it's extremely overwhelming. Thank you for this video. Very clear, concise and direct explanation. Appreciate it Jake 👍

Dear Jake, I'm a web developer, just wanted you to know I send this to anyone who asks me what the first step into web development should be. Compared to other 'absolute beginner' tutorials I've seen, this comes on top.

you taught me more than my teacher in whole school

This video is still relevant this 2021, kudos to you man.

im just now seeing this because my mom told me to learn html coding, i cannot believe theres people here that became entire programmers from this. truly amazing

People now: To use HTML5, you will have to type in, "" You will have to use it at the very beginning of your document for HTML5 because that is a new version. EDIT: If you are on mac, use TextEdit. If you are on windows, use the Notepad.

This was really helpful, I was having a lot of trouble following along with Javascript but this explains everything that I was trying to understand. Thanks.

This video was very helpful I'm just beginning in a Web Development class and was clueless and this video saved the day. I will continue watching your videos because every RU-vid video out there does not break the content of building a Web Page down like this one Thank you

I'm so excited to go home in a few hours and try doing this 😁

This video taught me more than my web design class did after 3 months of taking web design.

Thank you so much dude, I wanted to learn html but I couldnt sit there and read so your tutorial really helped! Really simple and to the point :D

Watching this in 2021 because most of the other videos are full of unnecessarily long comments to extend that watch time. Knowing a little bit about how the youtube algorithm works, I decided to like and comment on this simple and honest video. Thank you so much.

I loved this tutorial. You stuck to the point. I was able to pause between every line of instruction and do exactly what you said. When I finished, I wrote one for myself using all of the principles you offered and I switched my image to a png on my computer. Nice! Thank you.

That was beautiful!! Clear and simple explanation, easy to follow so much that I feel like I understand coding and creating websites already yet I'm literally a beginner with no coding experience. Excellent job Jake, thank you.

this is one of the best 12 mins I have ever spent . I think all high school kids should watch this video at some point .Very well done sir , BRAVO

Thank you. Still efficient and high quality over a decade later.

i've literally just started to learn coding and this was very helpful. thank you.

be prepared for silver play button bro

almost 10 years later and this video was more helpful and easily understandable than other videos right now. Thanks!!!🔥

This video made me an aerospace engineer!

as someone completely unknowledgeable on the coding aspect of a website, with the only knowledge that f12 open up the nerd-words, this was incredibly helpful. thank you

This guy is a Living Legend we should Protect Him at All Cost He is our Savior
