HTML is very easy to learn. It not actually a "programming" language. It is a scripting language. (Hyper Text MARKUP LANGUAGE). What this means is that it does not need to be "compiled" by another program. You simply save the file you are writing your HTML in and open it with a browser. I recommend w3schools.com to get you started.

It's really pretty easy. Use some of the resources that Google will give you for searching "html tutorial".
It's not something you can just read and immediately know how to do, though. It's something you have to practice at, and do over and over again until you get a feel for it.
Get some webspace and practice, practice, practice! Also, go to your favorite websites and hit "view source" on the right-click menu so you can view their html code. That will help you to see how the code translates into a useable website.

Extremely easy, compared to how hard it is to learn other languages.

HTML is a piece of cake. Just google some tutorials.

Pretty easy. Especially with all the resources online.

HTML is really simple to learn, and that's for several reasons:
Everything in HTML is straightforward, and most things are called what they are. For instance the header of every document is sure enough places within the "<HEAD></HEAD>" tags, and similiarly for the body of the document. And other tags are really easy to figure out, like <a> for an anchor, <hr> for a horizontal rule, and <tr> for a row within a table.
Secondly, its completely free to learn, practice, and use. Virtually every computer comes with a texting program, capable of saving generic files in text format (as opposed to binary). This means you can write your very own pages, without buying anything other than what came with you computer right out of the box.
THEn basic HTML (not including XHTML), is one of the VERY few languages out there, where you can be hideously lazy & lax about the syntax/structure and it will STILL work as intended. Most browsers have a rather high tolerance for sloppy coding in HTML. For instance if you open a tag without closing it, it will still work...try that with C++ and you'll be in some kind of trouble unless you correct it, lol.

html is very easy, all you need to know is the different tags

HTML is ridiculously easy to learn, but the complication comes when you have to learn other stuff life javascript, Ajax, PHP... You will need to know these stuff as well to be a good web-designer, HTML alone is not enough...
by LoggyBren on June 11th, 2008
Learning HTML takes time. You learn in babysteps. If anyone wanted to learn HTML, I would advice that you download and save several tutorials. I learned slowly over time. I built a large website by doing HTML all by hand...by that I mean I typed out each character. At the time, I only had a web tv. I had to transload all of my graphics through starboulevard. If you ask, I'm sure several people here could give you the URL's to some good tutorials. Good luck!

Well, not *that* difficult, as far as the basics are concerned. It depends what you want to do with it.
"A markup language is a system for annotating a text in a way which is syntactically distinguishable from that text. Examples include revision instructions by editors, traditionally written with a blue pencil on authors' manuscripts, typesetting instructions such those found in troff and LaTeX, and structural markers such as XML tags. Markup is typically omitted from the version of the text which is displayed for end-user consumption. Some markup languages, like HTML have presentation semantics, meaning their specification prescribes how the structured data is to be presented, but other markup languages, like XML, have no predefined semantics.
A well-known example of a markup language in widespread use today is HyperText Markup Language (HTML), one of the document formats of the World Wide Web. HTML is mostly an instance of SGML (though, strictly, it does not comply with all the rules of SGML) and follows many of the markup conventions used in the publishing industry in the communication of printed work between authors, editors, and printers."

by ShaneL on November 29th, 2009
yea its very easy the basic stuff u need to knw i learned most of the basics in about 3 or 4 days but i was just going over it and memorizing.
by Jenavave on November 13th, 2009
For a simple website with headings, photos, written content, maybe a table it is very easy to learn HTML once you know how to set up the page with head, body etc you only need to know a few tags in order to have a almost presentable website and if you want to get fancy you could even add a couple of hyperlinks.
by DudeLer on June 29th, 2008
it is difficult and it is easy once you understand what you are doing. i suggest just memorizing some html sentences. about ten or so, and you can do anything.
by BigDaddyBS on June 29th, 2008
First, you can right-click on a page, then (if they haven't turned it off) click on View Source.
Look at the text version (the source) and the page itself, and try to see where everything comes from (what part of the source creates each part of the page).
Learn how different websites do what they do, and try to understand each HTML tag (those in the angle brackets - "<" and ">") does.
Do a search on HTML tutorials, and go through them all. You may want to do THIS first, so you can understand more how the pages of sites you like are built. Also search on CSS tutorials, and go through THEM.
See my page at http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2o_auth_artlet_webelitistsandrookies.shtml for information about how people on discussion groups MAY interact with you, and for more about what you should do to build your own site.

The code is relatively easy to learn. Good design principles are somewhat harder. Everyone else has pointed you to some pretty good websites for tutorials, but in the midst of learning the "nuts and bolts," take some time to learn color theory and some basic design principles. Examine websites you like the look of and try to figure out what it is about them that makes them look so good.
I also recommend you look into CSS (cascading style sheets) since they make building and maintaining a web site *much* easier.

It depends on you too. If you've got the interest, then you'll find it (very) easy. :)
Good luck!
