I second JP,

The best tutorial I found was W3Schools. www.w3schools.com. People define
it as a basic but until the basics are not strong it does not help building
complex applications.
2. Use simple text editors such as notepad. Even today I do that to test
simple code snippets.
3. Let the participants visualize the effect of CSS. The visual effect of
each CSS property should be registered in the participants mind.
4. Using the all punctuation feature of screen reader possibility of
missing syntax errors can be minimized.

Hope this helps.

Thanks & Regards
