I wish this were a full course
I am a seasoned developer and though there was little coding in this first episode it still made me rethink how to approach web development. The instructor was great and I enjoyed listening to her. From my experience with TGC, the first episode usually lacks a lot of detailed content but acts more as a primer for the following episodes, just like the first day of class. I was not disappointed with this pilot.

Nostalgia pilot!
I enjoyed it a lot; this is going back to pre-college years, trying to learn programming, website development and anything IT. Nicely done pilot here!

Where is the course?
This course has been hanging around as a teaser for a very long time. I believe the title is misleading. If this instructor (I actually like her presentation) would teach HTML, CSS and Javascript, I'd be a happy camper.

No info about HTML or CSS
To be clear I thought that the instructor was great. The way she presents is effective and simple which is great for beginners. The problem is that I learned nothing of use until the last 5-10 minutes of this class and ONLY because I am an extreme novice to website design/building. I watched this to strengthen what I am learning independently about coding/HTML/CSS/and programming in general. She mentioned HTML and CSS once I think so naming this class "Building a Website with HTML and CSS" made no sense.

Is this course going to be available at Wondium?
Is this course going to be available at Wondium? I am interested in watching this course, but most of the reviews are from 2 yrs. ago and only lesson 1 is available. Could Wondrium give an update on it. Thank you.

Building a website, goal driven way
Website with HTML and CSS, the one chapter, is first about Dijkstra type "State your objectives clearly and in good English", to which "joy of programming" Alan Perlis and Gerry Sussman, and the "Rapid Startup" bunch would suggest severe caveats.
The chapter then goes on to recommend not Visual Studio, not Azure and GoDaddy, not any of the AWS or Google site builders but an open-source product divorced from any of that, without comparison or detail about how that choice may limit upscale.
I had hoped for a history of publishing Markup, through XML and HTML, which would show the unification of efforts by publishers, word processors, and later web site content. And the future of websites with the addition of media via JavaScript to HTML, and the various new possible targets including virtual reality headsets.
I had also hoped for expression of the idea that Markup content is separate and orthogonal to style expression, via CSS.
Harvard has a CS50 course, and I would love to see this very capable presenter do that content.
If not, this would seem to be an open-source tutorial for generic small web sites.

Off to a great start!
It's a high-impact course. The web is ubiquitous but few of us know how to create content. I like the instructor and the practicality of her approach. It seems like her approach could lead to a practical website whereas on my own I would create an html file with my favorite editor and open it chrome. Issues like security are a barrier, they worry me. It would be nice to touch on subjects like client server and an application of javascript if possible.
This will be a valuable addition to the wondrium offering.

01: Building a Website with HTML and CSS
Professor Kramer demonstrates how websites have evolved from simply being a digital billboard advertising your message to now being dynamic destinations where people can learn, engage, consume, play, interact, and more. She then discusses what it takes to create an overall strategy for a successful website as she walks you through how to determine your goals, audience, message, interactive elements, platform, and other key details.
