So, you want to learn HTML do you? Well then you have come to the right place! Are you excited to start programming? Well don't be-don't just yet. First of all, before you get to learn the real programming you need to know what HTML really is. Does anybody, actually know that? For real!?
Well however, here comes the explanatory!
What is HTML?What is HTML? If you're not just a beginner and don't know this, I would say you're pretty screwed. I mean, of course you could learn the scripting language totally without problems and even become one of the worlds greatest scripter in this current language-but how good would it look?
A HTML-master that doesn't even know what HTML means!? Everybody is going to laugh... maybe.
Well well, no need to fear this happening! 'Cause now I'll tell you all about HTML!
HTML stand for HyperText Markup Language. Cool? Weird? Dull? Think whatever you do think, but that's the truth!
A few examples......on what HTML is able to do! An HTML-file can easily be created in a simple text-editor or in more advanced programs, like dreamweaver or windows frontpage-but those sucks! Of course, it's easier to use them, but if you want to know what I think I'll tell you it's pure crap! The code is supposed to be script entirely by the man himself (or woman herself)! Don't you agree? Well well, do whatever you like! Just remember-it's more funnier to do the scripting yourself and also, it feels so much better to have made a good-looking site by scripting with pure, simple text!
A HTML-file is created by putting in the right tags and elements in a working way and saving the file as a .htm- or .html-file. The file-name could be, for example,
index.htm
or
index.html
, which both are usual as frontpage for a site (
1).
Note
1: Also, default is often used as a frontpage or enter-site, too.
For you who did not understand this in the above said, I'll try to explain it in a little easier way!An HTML-script is telling the web browser how to show the page with an enormous amount of combinations of tags and elements. This is why HTML is so useful and can create almost any website you could possible want (
2)!
Note
2: If there's something you can't do with HTML (like a login-function, for example) you can always use other scripting languages, like PHP, ASP or maybe even Javascript!
My onyl advice on this, for now, is that you learn HTML before you begin with any other language!And also, for you a little bit more experienced (but still n00bs!), here comes even one more explanation, but this is, simply, already told.A HTML-file is set up by different markup tags and must be saved with a .htm or .html file extension!
Way of learningIn this guide and those to come I will teach you, in this case, HTML by letting you try everything I'm teaching! My teaching motto is "to do is to learn". By trying the scripts out you will easier remember the tags and the way to use them. As I said, my motto is to learn by creativity and this is why sometimes I'll even put in a few practises where you can test your new-found abilities!
