HTML

On January 23, my teacher taught us a little bit of HTML. He said that HTML was the backbone behind every website. Besides, he also said that we would learn how to create a website on our own using HTML!  My teacher showed it to us and the whole class was very excited!

I have found a video that you all can learn more about HTML!

Apparently, HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is the universal markup language for the Web. 

HTML also lets people format text, add graphics, create links, input forms, frames and tables, etc., and save it all in a text file that any browser can read and display.

I also learnt some basic stuff about HTML too! Did you know that when creating HTML, the part that says <html> ... <html> indicates that the contents are HTML. <head> ... <head> contains web page information, i.e. <title> ... <title>. <body> ... <body> contains main content and structure.

Besides, my teacher also taught us about HTML tags. I learnt that there are 3 parts to HTML tags, start tag, content, and end tags. There are various HTML tags such as <p> ... <p>, and etc...

HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. 

I also learnt that when we need to create a web page or website, we save the file in either .html or .htm .

Besides, i also learnt that CSS is often used together with HTML as CSS (Casading Style Sheets) is used to style HTML elements. 

Did you know that  HTML5 will be the new standard for HTML? The previous version of HTML, HTML 4.01, came in 1999. The web has changed a lot since then. HTML5 is still a work in progress. However, the major browsers support many of the new HTML5 elements and APIs. 

While self studying, I found out that there was a group called The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) that is  a community of people interested in evolving HTML and related technologies. The WHATWG was founded by individuals from Apple, the Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software in 2004.

I hope that this post has benefited you all a lot!
