HTML5 Brunch, Season 14

Narrowing the skills gap, one chapter at a time.

HTML5 Brunch is one of our long-running virtual self-study groups. Season 14 is our latest incarnation.

Welcome to the Winter Session of our virtual self-study group offerings. Our focus during this session will be learning programming basics via a unique collaboration between LinkedIn Learning and GitHub. All offerings are available for free through February 28, 2023.

LinkedIn is offering 50 new LinkedIn Learning courses that are integrated with GitHub Codespaces. One of those courses is CSS for Programmers.

HTML5 is the fifth and current major version of HTML (hypertext markup language) as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). HTML, CSS (cascading style sheets) and JavaScript comprise the core technologies that define front-end web development. Currently, Indeed lists more than 100 job openings in the Boston metro area that mention HTML and CSS in the job description.
