This five step guide provides all of the information necessary to use Thimble to learn how to create web pages using HTML and CSS.
This resource introduces web page building to beginners. The instructions are simple so that a staff member getting started with coding or youth can learn either on their own or as a part of a group activity. The one-sheet can be adapted for a particular library location and audience. Thimble is a next-level tool for students that want to go beyond block based coding and learn practical real-world coding skills. Thimble is also a great sharing/showcase tool for showing off creations and achievements. It works off an online code editor that makes it easy to create and publish your own web pages while learning HTML, CSS, & JavaScript.
