Description

This book explains how to build and manage a website, with instructions and codes in programming language called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).

Quick Summary

If you've got a kid who's curious about how websites actually work, this one's a great starting point. Perry walks readers through building their first website from scratch, using simple HTML code that's easy to follow without any prior experience. What I like is that it's short enough not to overwhelm less than 5,000 words means kids can actually finish it and feel accomplished rather than getting lost in a massive manual. It's perfect for middle graders who want to create something real and share it with friends, whether that's a page about their favorite video game, a family blog, or whatever they dream up. Parents will appreciate that it teaches practical skills while keeping things light and encouraging creativity. If your kid loved "How to Code a Sandcastle" or wants to learn something useful for the future, this hits the sweet spot between educational and actually fun.
