A few days ago one of my friends came to me asking about computer languages. Finding Python to complex i recommended he learn HTML as a starting point and pointed him to w3schools. Things were going well, he sent me some html files. All with bad syntax (as expected). Each new file had better code than the last. Then came the <img> tutorial. The amount of times i have been asked in so many words, "How do I get this <img> thing to work? All i see is a red X!" Surly I am not the only person who managed to get this first time out. Whats more, I also have a hard time explaining whats gone wrong and how to fix it. They never quite get what I am trying to explain. Perhaps I'm not good at explinations.
