All modern websites and web applications are built using three <em>fundamental</em> technologies: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These are the languages of the web.

<p>In this post, let's focus on HTML. We will learn what HTML is all about, and why you too should learn it.</p>

<h3>What is HTML?</h3>
39
+
<p>
40
+
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It's a markup language that web developers use to structure and describe the content of a webpage (not a programming language).
41
+
</p>
42
+
<p>
43
+
HTML consists of elements that describe different types of content: paragraphs, links, headings, images, video, etc. Web browsers understand HTML and render HTML code as websites.
44
+
</p>
45
+
46
+
<p>In HTML, each element is made up of 3 parts:</p>
47
+
<ol>
48
+
<li>The opening tag</li>
49
+
<li>The closing tag</li>
50
+
<li>The actual element</li>
51
+
</ol>
52
+
