When a friend is interested in learning HTML, I often recommend that, for their first steps, they read Web Zine 01 by Zach Mandeville. It only covers the very basics, but it does so in a way that is 0% intimidating, while still bringing up things like semantics, accessibility, and standards compliance. Even though there's only one issue, I think it's good for people to have that foundation of "I'm just trying to help the computer understand what I'm trying to say, and the computer's trying its best to understand."
