If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to build websites and web apps, HTML and CSS are the first skills you should learn. They are so fundamental that we believe everyone has the right to learn these skills for free.

We set ourselves the challenge of designing the most effective and enjoyable way to learn HTML and CSS in one month. The result is 30 Days to Learn HTML and CSS, a free Tuts+ Premium course instructed by Nettuts+ editor and web dev veteran Jeffrey Way. We’re really excited to share this with you today! (Plus, get a sneak peek at the new Tuts+ Premium.)

We’ve just launched a free newsletter you can use to keep up to date with new tutorials and articles on Nettuts+. At the end of each week you’ll get a digest of all the tutorials and articles published that week, mailed straight to your inbox. If there’s a big announcement coming, newsletter subscribers will often be the first to know.

And as a welcome for new newsletter subscribers, you’ll get immediate access to a secret tutorial we’ve never published anywhere on this site!

The newsletter is free to join and ad-free. Look for the ‘Join our newsletter!’ heading in the sidebar and join nearly 1,200 other subscribers (and counting). If you want to see a preview of the newsletter, read on!

As many of you know, Tuts+ recently launched a marketplace where people can buy and sell tutorials. One of the main purposes of the Tuts+ Marketplace is to open up a platform for independent authors to sell their tutorials. To our great delight, one of the first people to make the most of this opportunity is Jeffrey Way, your editor here at Nettuts+. Jeffrey is selling 16 tutorials on the Tuts+ Marketplace, and has 774 sales as of this writing. Pretty impressive!

In his spare time – something we didn’t know he had any of! – Jeffrey has created a hugely popular 11-part video series on Object-Oriented Programming in PHP. This series is available exclusively on the Tuts+ Marketplace. It has a perfect 5 star rating after 50 ratings, and has been purchased 433 times.

We’ve just launched the Tuts+ Marketplace, where Premium quality tutorials – both from our Tuts+ Premium program and from unaffiliated authors – are available to purchase individually. Our Tuts+ Premium program will still stay exactly the same – you’ll get all the same things, for the same price. But now, non-members will be able to purchase selected Premium tutorials on a one-off basis, without a Premium membership.
