Why this topic matters
Designers are increasingly expected to work closer to code, whether handing off to engineers or building with AI tools. Understanding the three pillars of the web (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) helps you direct AI coding agents, build prototypes engineers trust, and see new creative possibilities. This lesson is a quick way to catch up on the fundamentals without a full coding course, so you can be not just AI-native but code-native.
