In this post, let's focus on HTML. We will learn what HTML is all about, and why you too should learn it.
What is HTML?
stands for HyperText MarkupLanguage. It's a markup language that web developers use to structure and describe the content of a webpage (not a programming language).
HTML consists of elements that describe different types of content: paragraphs, links, headings, images, video, etc. Web browsers understand HTML and render HTML code as websites.
