Overview

This massive UI design course teaches you to build beautiful and well-functioning user interfaces using HTML and CSS. It's filled with interactive tutorials to ensure that the knowledge sticks with you. Created by Gary Simon, the most popular online instructor on this subject. While we can all clearly recognize what a great user interface looks like, it's actually really hard to build one! That's exactly what this course is all about. In it, Gary Simon will turn you into a UI design master. He'll teach you UI design from the ground up, and give you the skills you need to make sure that your next project both looks good and feels good to use.
 
It starts from the very basics, so you don't need any UI design experience to join, just basic HTML and CSS skills.
