Don't get this post wrong...I appreciate all the courses posted by our members.
I just wonder why someone would need a course, done in Chinese, about simplified Chinese, if they are already Chinese?

Simplified Chinese is simply a simpler version of Traditional Chinese.
Traditional Chinese characters are currently used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau; as well as in Overseas Chinese communities outside Southeast Asia. In contrast, Simplified Chinese characters are used in mainland China, Singapore and Malaysia in official publications.

Hi watchthebirdie,
this is a course about HTML5 (17 hours), not about Chinese. I've put Simplified Chinese aside the title because it's in Simplified Chinese.
I hope you know now the need of this course about HTML5 :)

I agree with watchthebirdie - that pipe notation is very confusing. I was puzzled myself for a moment. Why not to use old-fashion and easy to understand parenthesis, e.g., blah-blah (Spanish)?
Also, to the knowledge guru above, can you explain then which is which: Mandarin vs. Cantonese?

Hi vintom,
I changed the title notation with the "common old fashion" parenthesis. I really don't understand these sterile remarks. If ones goes to the course's page it's very clear what the course is all about and what language is spoken.
Plus, seajuju was trying to explain without been a "knowledge guru". if you want to know more about it, take your time and go to wikipedia.org
If there is something unclear, let me know about it.

SteB81...thanks for the clarification. I'm sure it is a valuable course. I DID go to the course page, but since I do not read Chinese, I had no way of knowing what the course was about. Not sure what you mean by 'sterile comments'...? Please know, I meant no disrespect at all...I appreciate the coupons you and others give. I thought the course was about learning Chinese. Now I know differently...thanks!
