  What made you interested in this topic?

  A looong time ago, I was able to design and develop a little intranet site for a company i used to work. But since it was made with HTML 3.2, I think there has been some changes in the HTML specification, so I want to relearn HTML with its new version 5.

  What do you hope to achieve by participating?

  Basically relearn HTML with its new 5 version, and from there, learn CSS and Javascript

  Are you interested in helping with the study group organization?

  Of course yes, but I don't know if time will allow me to do it, but if someone can tell me wht to do, and the time permits, I will be glad to help.

  • What made you interested in this topic?

  I leant HTML and CSS but I think that it's time to "progress" and learn HTML5.

   

  • What do you hope to achieve by participating?

  Learn the basics of the HTML5 and know the main differences between HTML4 or XHTML and HTML5, and the knowledge to develop a website enterily and semantically correct with HTML5. Maybe I not will be an canvas expert and maybe I not will develop a game with HTML5+Javascript (*) with this course, but I hope to develop websites with the HTML5 technology.

  (*) In the future I'll participate in the Beginning Game Development with HTML5 course.

   

  • Are you interested in helping with the study group organization?

  Now I don't have too much time to help with the organization, but I can help apporting  resources and tryin' to help the others participants.

  Standard Set Answer:

  I have been dabbling in HTML for years, but always come to this block of what to do next. I want to learn and help others learn at the same time. I am an extremely pro-active person, so this shouldn't be hard to do. If there was one thing I would like to take away from this adventure, it would be to build on the little I know already and learn what to do with it. I would love to help with the study group organization in any way possible.
