HTML was my first step into web development. Before writing any CSS or JavaScript, I wanted to understand how a webpage is built from the ground up.
I learned that HTML provides the structure of a webpage. Elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, and lists all begin with HTML. Without it, there would be nothing for CSS to style or JavaScript to make interactive.
My very first HTML page contained a simple heading like this:
<h1>Hello World</h1>The <h1> tag creates the main heading on a page.
What I Learned
- How to create a basic HTML document.
- The purpose of the <head> and <body> sections.
- How headings and paragraphs organize content.
- How links connect pages together.
- Why semantic elements like <article> and <section> matter.
Looking Ahead
Once I became comfortable with HTML, I was ready to move on to CSS, where I could begin making my websites look polished and professional.
