Hi! I’m Welcome Dog.

CoreDogs helps you learn the Web’s core technologies. Pieces of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. And, if you want, a little PHP and MySQL.

CoreDogs leaves out a lot. It only explains the really important bits. It does a good job with just those.

CoreDogs uses best practices from learning science. It helps you use your learning time well.

Why learn the Web’s core, and just the core? Some scenarios:

• You want a Web site for a small business, school, etc.

You don’t need to know tech to make a basic site. Point-and-click tools write pages for you.

But those tools are limited. Learn the core, and you can make sites that really help the business. More…

• You run a Web site made with a content management system (CMS), like WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla.

Learn the core. You’ll be better at:

- Installing the software
- Keeping it updated and secure
- Understanding the support forums
- Diagnosing problems
- Customizing your site

More…

• You work with Web professionals.

Learn the core, and you’ll be a better client, supervisor, or coworker. You can explain to the Web professionals what you want, understand their answers, and know what you can expect from them. More…

• You’re thinking about a career as a Web professional.

Learn the core. It will help you decide whether a Web profession is right. And no matter what you decide, you’ll still have useful skills. More…

• You’re technically curious.

Learning the core will help you understand how Amazon, Wikipedia, and other sites work.

• You teach this stuff.

CoreDogs works for both self-study and course use. It’s particularly good for online courses. More…

You can get started with CoreDogs. It’s free. Or you can learn more about CoreDogs.
