We are currently building out our library of tutorials.
</p>
<p>
Until then, please check out the following links to get you started:
</p>
<h3>HTML</h3>
<p>HTML is short for "HyperText Markup Language", and is the basic building block used to build all web sites.</p>

</li>
</ul>
<h3>CSS</h3>
<p>CSS is short for "Cascading Style Sheets", which is the code used to set the style of your web pages. It is embedded in your HTML, and directs how your web site should look. If HTML was your house, CSS would be what allows you to decorate the way it looks.</p>

</ul>
<h3>CSS Frameworks</h3>
<p>CSS frameworks are pre-built CSS styles that make it easy to quickly build a nice looking web page, without having to "roll your own" set of styles. NeoCities itself uses one as the basis for our design (Brass Tacks). They are very useful, and definitely worth checking out once you have an understanding of how CSS works.</p>

</ul>
<h3>JavaScript</h3>
<p>JavaScript is the programming language that comes standard with all web browsers. You can embed JavaScript code into your HTML to allow you to program your web sites to do things. JavaScript was once a weak language with a lot of problems, but it is now a very fast and powerful language that is used for both web browsers and for complicated server backends (with Node.js). It is a great beginners language if you want to learn how to program, and can be used to perform almost any kind of program.</p>
