HTML stands for “Hypertext markup Language”. This is a
markup language, there are different languages used in web development and this
is considered to be the most basic language. In a single word we can say HTML
means the rendering of data. When we open any website the browser reads the
HTML language that actually shows us the website. There are tags used in HTML and
it includes no processing like to solve equations. Due to using of these tags
this language is called markup languages. We will learn all the set of these
tags so that you can make your own web pages. Later on we will move forward to
the scripting languages like PHP and databases, so that we able to build
dynamic sites.
In this Lesson 1 we will discuss what is HTML? Why we use
and what is its scope.
As we discussed this is a Markup language. There are
different versions of HTML the most updated version is HTML5 but we are
learning HTML4 here, in the future we will learn HTML5. There are different IDE we can use for our
convenience. We will use Dreamweaver.
What is IDE?
IDE stands for integrated development environment. There are software’s
used to write html tags, actually these provides a developmental environment so
that it becomes easy to learn programming. These help us to create sites. There
is our first program of Html.
Example:
<html>
<p>My name is Moz</p>
</html>
This program will write “My name is Moz”. The first point is
there are many languages and we have to tell the browser what language we are
using.
So, in the given example
<html> shows in the browser that we are using html markup language.
Almost all the tags that we open must be close. </Html> is closing tag
that shows we have closed our language. P is Paragraph here means we start a
paragraph from <p> and close it </p>. The browser will not show the
tags but these are used to show our contents. If we write <p> My name is
Moz</p>. The browser will use these tags to recognize the language is
used and will display only “My name is Moz” In this way we will use number of
tags to display our content in the form of a web page.
HTML is easy to learn.
HTML is Basic of all languages.
HTML is used to represent data in browser.
HTML can be used with other languages like CSS and Java scripting.
With the help of these examples you can learn HTML.
