Why Learn HTML?
HTML is the starting point for anyone diving into web development. It's the building block of every website, providing the structure that allows browsers to display content. Learning HTML opens the door to mastering other essential technologies like CSS for styling and JavaScript for interactivity. Whether you're creating a personal blog, an online portfolio, or developing complex web applications, understanding HTML is key.
- Every webpage is built using HTML.
- Works seamlessly with CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks.
- HTML is universally supported by all browsers, ensuring your content is accessible to everyone.
- Properly structured HTML improves both search engine rankings and user accessibility.
- From simple static pages to complex web apps, HTML provides the structure for it all.
HTML Hello World Program
The "Hello World" program is the perfect starting point for understanding HTML. It demonstrates the basic structure of an HTML document and how browsers interpret and display content. Here's a quick example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
In this simple program, the text "Hello, World!" appears on the screen inside an <h1> heading. It showcases how HTML organizes content using tags and sets the stage for building more complex web pages. This example also highlights the essentials of any HTML document—declaring the document type, using <head> for metadata, and <body> for visible content.
