Introductions to HTML
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerAll.html
NCSA's HTML Primer. One of the oldest is also one of the best. Covers all the basic concepts needed to get started with the HTML language. Highly recommended starting point.
http://www.utoronto.ca/webdocs/HTMLdocs/NewHTML/htmlindex.html
Ian Graham's 'Introduction to HTML'. A thorough treatment and fair introduction to the language. Topics organized by location in HTML document structure.
http://www.cwru.edu/help/introHTML/toc.html
Case Western Reserve's 'Introduction to HTML'. A great introduction tutorial to the language but not a great deal of depth on any one topic.
http://www.cwru.edu/help/interHTML/toc.html
Case Western Reserve's 'Intermediate HTML'. The sequel to the previous site goes into more depth on several topics including Forms.
http://www.hut.fi/~jkorpela/HTML3.2/
Jukka Korpela's 'Learning HTML 3.2 By Example'. Excellent resource with both introductory topics and advanced tag reference information. Based in Finland, but well worth the trip time.
http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/
The Maricopa Center for Learning and Instruction's 'Writing HTML: A tutorial for creating WWW pages' site. This site has many tutorials organized in lesson format. A very nice introduction, and it is also available in Spanish.
http://www.pcweek.com/eamonn/crash_course.html
Crash Course on Writing Documents for the Web. Does not go in-depth or get very technical, but it is a good quick & glossy overview of the subject.
http://www.outer.net/html4dum/html4dum.htm
'HTML for Dummies'. Online adaptation of the book in the classic series. Covers everything from the basic building blocks and concepts of HTML to more advanced topics. Does a bang-up job of getting your feet wet in the language in the proper order.
http://www.projectcool.com/developer/
'Project Cool Developer Zone'. A fair introduction and some very good tips to keep in mind when creating pages. It is a bit dated though with respect to current HTML practice.
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/demoweb/url-primer.html
NCSA's URL primer: 'A beginner's guide to URLs'. Not a general introduction to HTML, but a good introduction to probably THE most important topic in HTML.
http://www.devry-phx.edu/webresrc/webmstry/lrntutrl.htm
Devry's 'Learning HTML' Resource list. This is a meta-index of links to many tutorials and guides listed here along with many more to get you started with HTML.
http://www.htmlgoodies.com
Joe Burns 'HTML Goodies' site. Quite a few original primers, articles and tutorials on many HTML topics. Main page is very tables-intensive and can take a while to load.
