| 41 | + All modern websites and web applications are built using three |
| 42 | + <em>fundamental</em> technologies: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These are the |
| 43 | + languages of the web. |
| 44 | + </p> |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + <p> |
| 47 | + In this post, let's focus on HTML. We will learn what HTML is all about, |
| 48 | + and why you too should learn it. |
| 49 | + </p> |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + <h3>What is HTML?</h3> |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + <p> |
| 54 | + HTML stands for <strong>H</strong>yper<strong>T</strong>ext <strong>M</strong>arkup <strong>L</strong>anguage. It's a markup language that |
| 55 | + web developers use to structure and describe the content of a webpage |
| 56 | + (not a programming language). |
| 57 | + </p> |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + <p> |
| 60 | + HTML consists of elements that describe different types of content: |
| 61 | + paragraphs, links, headings, images, video, etc. Web browsers understand |
| 62 | + HTML and render HTML code as websites. |
| 63 | + </p> |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + <p>In HTML, each element is made up of 3 parts:</p> |
| 66 | + <ol> |
| 67 | + <li>The opening tag</li> |
| 68 | + <li>The closing tag</li> |
| 69 | + <li>The actual element</li> |
| 70 | + </ol> |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + <p> |
| 73 | + You can learn more at the |

| 77 | + >MDN Web Docs</a |
| 78 | + >. |
| 79 | + </p> |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + <h3>Why should you learn HTML?</h3> |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + <p> |
| 84 | + There are countless reasons for learning the fundamental language of the |
| 85 | + web. Here are 5 of them: |
| 86 | + </p> |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | + <ul> |
| 89 | + <li>To be able to use the fundamental web dev language</li> |
| 90 | + <li> |
| 91 | + To hand-craft beautiful websites instead of relying on tools like |
| 92 | + Worpress or Wix |
| 93 | + </li> |
| 94 | + <li>To build web applications</li> |
| 95 | + <li>To impress friends</li> |
| 96 | + <li>To have fun 😃</li> |
| 97 | + </ul> |
| 98 | + <p>Hopefully you learned something new here. See you next time!</p> |
