HTML is a markup language used to create the structure of web pages. It consists of elements, tags, and attributes that define different parts of a web page.

  • Elements : The building blocks of HTML, represented by tags.

  • Tags : Used to create elements. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets, like .

  • Attributes : Provide additional information about elements, usually included in the opening tag.

2. Setting up your Development Environment

Before you start coding, you need a text editor and web browser.

  • Text Editor : Visual Studio is a popular text editor and easy to use.

  • Web Browser : Web browsers like chrome, Firefox are commonly used.

3. Creating the first HTML document

  1. Open the Text editor and create a new file.

Congratulations! You have taken your first steps into the world of web development with HTML. As you continue to practice and build more complex web pages, you will become more comfortable with the language and its capabilities. Remember the key to mastering HTML is practice and exploration. Happy Coding!
