Course Time Machine

Welcome to the Time Machine course.

The Time Machine consists of two classes in which we introduce basic HTML and CSS skills. We start of in The Sh***y 90's, building websites from back in the day. We then fast-forward, via the fourth dimension, to the BRUTALIST design period.
