Getting started:

You can learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, PHP, jQuery, XML, Bootstrap etc. from the w3schools website.

What is HTML?

  • HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages.
  • HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
  • HTML describes the structure of Web pages using markup
  • HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages i.e. <div>, <p>, etc.
  • HTML elements are represented by tags i.e <>
  • HTML tags label pieces of content such as "heading", "paragraph", "table", and so on
  • Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to render the content of the page
  • HTML file has an extension of '.html' or '.htm'

What is CSS?

  • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.
  • CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media.
  • CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once
  • External stylesheets are stored in CSS files.
  • CSS file has an extension of '.css'
What is JavaScript?
  • JavaScript is the programming language of HTML and the Web.
  • JavaScript can change the content of an HTML element.
  • JavaScript is one the most important languages of Web Development.
  • JavaScript is a bit harder than HTML and CSS.
  • JavaScript and Java are completely different languages, both in concept and design.
  • JavaScript file has an extension of '.js'

Creating a web page is very easy and we are going to create a basic web page with only HTML, CSS and JS, we are not using other web development languages.
