Obviously there's a lot more around the internet about HTML email but these are just a handful that i've used over the years and had good results from.
Best Practice:

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 2,494 PointsThank you so much, I also wanted to know, can you get a job as a developer if you only have HTML email experience? The reason I ask because anytime I check indeed I don't see many options.

9,607 PointsGenerally speaking, the job role of a developer encompasses a lot more than purely HTML emails. That being said, there's almost certainly a company out there who are looking for someone with just this skillset. Your best bet to heading on the path to a career in development is to gain some further experience in a preferred language and see where that takes you.
HTML Emails (again generally speaking) are part and parcel of a developer's role and so more often than not, a company will assume that a front-end/backend developer has the skills to build HTML emails and so won't have the requirement to enlist a job role with just HTML email experience.
I hope that helps :)
