+# Front-end vs Back-end development
+
+We visit a page, the browser sends a request to the web server where the website is hosted, the server then sends a response with all of the files requested. It responds with html, css, and javascript, which are the core web technologies. The browser then renders the website with the provided files.
+
+The process of writing html, css, and js is called front-end development. When the files are simply stored on the server a request will return a static website.
+
+When you visit a dynamic website the request is sent to a server where the website is hosted, not just stored. Web apps store and maitain a larger amount of features to store in such things as a database. Applications that are executed on the backend will use nodejs or python that will take the request and assemble the proper response on the server. Everytime you visit the website a new version will be assembled and sent.
+
+The files are sent as before and the browser renders the site in the same way.
+
+## The three languages
+
+HTML is the content of the webpage. CSS is the styling of that content on the page. JS is the dynamic effects and data of the webpage.
+

+
+## HTML
+
+HyperText Markup Language is a core language for structuring and describing the content of a page.
+
+HTML uses _elements_ to describe it's content.
+Web browsers understand HTML and render the code as websites.
+
+### HTML Element
+
+`<p>HTML is a markup language</p>`
+An element has an opening tag, the content and the closing tag.
+If the content is another element it is called a child element and it is the parent element.
+
+### HTML Document Structure
+
+Consists of a DOCTYPE declaration, the html tag which has two children elements called head and body.

+    <h2>The Basic Language of the Web: HTML</h2>
+
+    <h3>What is HTML?</h3>
+
+    <!-- 
+All modern websites and web applications are built using three fundamental technologies: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These are the languages of the web.
+
+In this post, let's focus on HTML. We will learn what HTML is all about, and why you too should learn it.
+
+
+
+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).
+
+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.
+
+In HTML, each element is made up of 3 parts:
+
+The opening tag
+The closing tag
+The actual element
+You can learn more at the MDN Web Docs.
+
+Why should you learn HTML?
+
+There are countless reasons for learning the fundamental language of the web. Here are 5 of them:
+
+To be able to use the fundamental web dev language
+To hand-craft beautiful websites instead of relying on tools like Worpress or Wix
+To build web applications
+To impress friends
+To have fun 😃
+
+Hopefully you learned something new here. See you next time! -->
