Start Learning to Code

Going through Git is wonderful. I am actually learning… I’ve done three other Git tutorials and still felt so lost. Doing it all now makes so much sense. It’s like a light bulb.

Michael does a great job of structuring this tutorial and thrusts the users quick into the world of Git with real examples and a hands-on approach. Just one of a series of great books. Highly recommended.

Thanks to the Git skills I started building with your tutorial, I now run Git workshops to teach other students this great tech.

I stumbled upon your website by luck a couple weeks back and since then I have gone through the Developer Fundamentals series, which I have to say exceeded my expectations and filled in many gaps in my knowledge which multiple other online tutorials failed to do.

The tutorial is very well written, easy to follow and enjoyable. One thing I especially like is the way you not only learn the basics of the subject (HTML in this case) but also get a flavour of how to actually think about and begin a project developing a website. It also builds on ideas and processes for collaborating on such projects with other people.

I’ve done quite a few tutorials about HTML and I found this one to be the easiest to follow while giving me the most sophisticated understanding of the important points in HTML. It was also great practice for my Git skills, as it builds on the previous Learn Enough Git tutorial. I wouldn’t really recommend any other place to start off from than this Learn Enough series.

Very happy with this new tutorial by Michael Hartl. It follows the same structure as the rest of his tutorials. Having done quite a lot of HTML and other related coding tutorials online myself, I find them to be the best so far. They offer a truly immersive experience and explain everything A to Z, from getting started to everything you need to know to have whatever you are building up and running.

I must say, this Learn Enough series is a masterpiece of education. Thank you for this incredible work!

I want to thank you for the amazing job you have done with the tutorials. They are likely the best tutorials I have ever read.

I have been trying to learn web development and programming on and off for the past 3 years and your website is the first one that I feel does the job right.

— Janelle S.

Just bought the new ebook and want to say keep up the great work!! The Learn Enough to Be Dangerous series re-ignited my desire to code after 10+ years of “meh”.

— Diane Y.

The Learn Enough Society and the courses are incredible. It’s the best value in the market of online courses in my opinion. Like you say, it’s learning to tech, which is very useful in our world.

— Sébastien D.

I just meant to tell you: your tutorial books from the Learn Enough series are awesome! The books are well-written, clear, concise, super-useful, and even fun to read. Thank you so, so much for this! I have bought the first three and will buy whatever you publish next. Keep up doing this very good work and thanks again.

— Pierre W.

Have been following the whole “Learn Enough to Be Dangerous” series and am VERY impressed with it. I am a project manager who works with software developers daily. These sessions have provided me with a huge amount very useful information, to the extent that I now not only understand what the dev guys are talking about, but am starting to use the tools (command line, Git, etc.) that they use.

— Brian

Michael Hartl is one of the best educators around when it comes to web development. I have been following him for a long time, and everything he produces is top quality. If you are looking for a quick way to become a thorough and productive professional web developer, Hartl’s books are a great place to start.

Hi, my name is Philip, and I’m a beginning learner of web development. I’ve dabbled in small ways in Ruby/Rails for about a year and a half. Occasionally, I write ruby scripts to solve problems at my job. I also dabble in learning: JavaScript, Ember, more Ruby/Rails, brief intro readings into Scala.

I’ve tried Codeschool, Codecademy, and I’ll stop there, so you don’t spend the next 3 hours reading all the different learning resources I’ve tried.

Ruby on Rails Tutorial (Rails 5) is undoubtedly, the most effective and educational resource I’ve ever come across when it comes to learning anything about web development or writing any code on any level.

Here’s what you seem to understand that everyone else just gets wrong: There’s a big spectrum between the very beginner basics: declaring variables, to voodoo, magical, incantational trickery of witchcraft, like building your own web server.

Almost all tutorials make this mistake. The first couple “lessons” are good for people who don’t even have a clue what computer programming is and then suddenly, there’s a big jump to what seem to be concepts that only seasoned developers have mastered.

Thanks for such a great, educational guide in Ruby on Rails.
