HTML - Basic Information

Devin · Feb 23, 2023

When it comes to coding and development, most people immediately think of the term "HTML." It's by far the most recognized and basic form of coding language out there. However, although most individuals are familiar with the term HTML they don't really have much knowledge of what it is or what it is used for. For starters, HTML is an abbreviation for "HyperText Markup Language" and is the standard coding language used to create online web pages. HTML is basically the starting point for nearly any type of development project, overall, it basically provides the structure and content of a web page. However, if only using HTML, this would provide a blank page with text, it would not include any formatting, links, and/or images. HTML uses a series of attributes and tags that are used to define the structure and content of a web page. Below, I will show you some example HTML tags:

<html>, <head>, <title>, <body>, <h1> - <h6>, <p>, <a>, <img>, and <div>.

With all of the above being mentioned, HTML is a markup language and isn't actually a programming language. This means that HTML does not have the features or the ability to perform complex tasks or calculations.

When it comes to creating an HTML document, you can easily do so by using a notepad application or something similar on your PC, or if you'd prefer to go a more advanced route you could use Adobe Dreamweaver.

In conclusion, HTML is always progressing for the better and new versions are released from time to time. The most recent version released was HTML5 back in 2014 and introduced new features such as multimedia support and semantic elements.

Let me know if you guys learned anything from this post, and feel free to add on to the above information.

I think the most important benefit of HTML, is you can find free courses and support to learn it online from qualified instructors like those found on W3Schools.com and even be certified by them with enough validity to land some good paying gig jobs to start your online adventure on the right foot.

HTML is excellent from start since begginers can see changes. Example

HTML:

<b>Bold text</b>
<i>Italic text</i>

In many programing languages you don't see anything at start. Until you come to visible part (form, button) you must learn many stuff. In HTML also you learn parent - child relationship, open and closed tags which is very important for later.

Code:

<div>Parent
<div>Child</div>
</div>

The easy way to always have matched tags is to type the tags first and then insert the content. <b></b> then add <b>This Is Bold</b>

I have tried my hands on HTML to do some minor editing on my websites but I do not have any skills with this language. I do not want to mess up with the codes, therefore, I avoid it.

The simple solution is to make a backup copy of the page you want to edit, then if it turns out to be wrong just replace it with the backup and start over.

For HTML language you don't need special interpreter installed on your computer. You can use any web browser.
Write HTML code in notepad and save it as HTML.

Run it into any web browser and you will get intepretation on HTML language.

Or you can use online interpreter like developer.mozzila.org

Actually , I have known HTML and its syntax for long, but still this helps me refreshed what I have learned since it's being a while I wrote codes , HTML is a mark up language and not a programming language as most some people see it ,especially those new to the field.

I have thankfully learned that I can create an HTMl document using a simple and easily accessible app such as Notepad. This important insight should aid in boosting my interest in programming. My fingers are crossed.

You can always do more of practice to retain the HTML syntax you have just learned and this way you can kick start a career in web development since that's the basics of the frontend development.
