+ 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.
+
+ What is HTML?
+
+ 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 😃
