HTML Learning Tools from Mozilla

The Mozilla Foundation has setup its Webmaker site to help folks learn how to code HTML.

The site includes:

• Thimble is an online HTML editor you can use to create web pages. It is a simple split pane with your HTML code on the left and the resulting output on the right. You can publish the page to the Webmaker site so it can share it with others. The site includes a number of projects designed to get your started learning.


• X-Ray Goggles is a tool for exploring the code on a web page.


• Popcorn is a tool for creating Video

All the tools are online which is pretty cool. The site could use a starter video or project that gets really basic. From my experience, you can't just throw tags at folks and expect them to "get it". But I would definitely give the Mozilla Foundation and A for effort.
