I finally finished reading...

HTML For People - Blake Watson:
htmlforpeople.com/

I'd love to see how it works for the target audience, but as best as I can judge it looks like a great course!

I think Simple.CSS is a huge aid here. And interesting that it (eventually) teaches the infamous PHP, in a way that makes it seem appealing to me.

htmlforpeople.comHTML for PeopleHTML isn't only for people working in the tech field. It's for everyone. Learn how to make a website from scratch in this beginner friendly web book.

@alcinnz I accidentally got back into PHP a bit, after having done mostly Rust, Go and Python for a couple of years.

It's.. not really that bad? Lots of new developments in the language itself. Better performance when coupled with something like FrankenPHP & running persistently, so your whole app doesn't have to be loaded for every request.

Poking around with Laravel 11 now, and liking the opinionated solutions. For internal dashboards etc, the web part itself isn't what needs to be fast.

@jwarlander @alcinnz Personally I like PHP and I find it to be a really accessible language for beginners.
