Those are some pretty cool looking websites, right ?

Have you ever wanted to make your own website ?

Websites are how we put content onto the internet for the world to see. They allow us to share any vision we have with the outside world on scale unheard of in previous generation of humanity. We're going to learn to learn the basics of Web Programming, and by the time we're through you should be able to put togerther your own website and share it with the world.

**SOOO...LETS GO!**
