HTML Introduction
Learn what HTML is and why it's the foundation of the web.
Learning Goals
The Core Concept
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages. Every website you visit is built with HTML. It provides structure and content to web documents, while CSS handles styling and JavaScript adds interactivity.
HTML uses tags (keywords enclosed in angle brackets) to tell browsers how to display content. Tags work in pairs with opening and closing tags, though some are self-closing. For example, <p> starts a paragraph and </p> ends it.
Understanding HTML is essential before learning CSS or JavaScript because it forms the foundation. Once you master HTML basics, you'll find it easy to learn other web technologies.
HTML5 is the current standard that includes modern features like better semantic elements, multimedia support, and APIs for building web applications. Learning modern HTML practices ensures your code works on all devices and browsers.
