AMP HTML is a great way for developers to create fast mobile pages that can be viewed everywhere! Highly recommend this even if it is just a way to get familiar with the subject. Websites now are usually created with mobile first in mind, so definitely a big reason to learn this!

AMP is an open-source HTML framework created by Google that provides a straightforward way to create web pages that are fast, smooth-loading and prioritize the user-experience above all else.

Want to get started on building AMP websites? Join us for our AMP Study Jam! Together we'll work through the "Web Development with AMP - Beginning Course" prepared and led by our instructor Ben Morss from Google.
