In this lesson, we'll explore the basics of HTML, the language used to structure and define content on the web. But before we dive into the technical details, let's first take a step back and explore the history and evolution of the World Wide Web.
Imagine it's the early 90s and you're an internet pioneer exploring the nascent World Wide Web. You come across a static page, with text and images arranged haphazardly on the screen. It may have had some information on it, but it was difficult to read and looked unprofessional.
This is where HTML comes in. HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is a language used for creating web pages. It gives structure and meaning to content such as text, images, and links. It allows web developers to create aesthetically pleasing web pages with a logical layout, adding to the user's experience.
As technology advances and the internet continues to grow, so too does the need for skilled web developers. HTML is the foundation of web development, so understanding it is essential for anyone interested in designing, developing, or maintaining websites or web-based applications.
By learning HTML, you will gain valuable skills that will help you in your career, whatever field you choose to pursue. So let's get started on this journey of learning HTML!
