If you’ve ever wanted to learn HTML but cringe at the thought of reading a book on the subject, try singing it instead! A new website—started by veteran HTML instructor Diane Presler—uses catchy tunes and lyrics to drill coding into your head. Though there is no real order to how the videos should be watched, “An HTML Love Song” is a good introduction. The ditty puts HTML tags in a real-world context (such as <girl hair=”blond”>) to get the listener to think about HTML structure in a fun way.
The site already has seven songs in its arsenal, covering topics such as lists, image tags, and hexadecimal codes and they have included the lyrics as well for easier comprehension. The accompanying videos provide fun visuals that illustrate how code should be written, adding visual clarity to each song’s lyrics. The Learn HTML with Song crew is actively hiring indie musicians to bring coding—including not only HTML, but CSS, Javascript, and others—to life.
