Html Introduction

 Today we are going to talk about one of the simplest web development languages there is around; HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML  is a set of markup tags that tells the browser what to display.

The way i learned was from windows notepad but if you have a Mac you can start simple text. Type this in your text editor.

<html>
<head>
<title> title of page </title>
</head>
<body>
My first home page
</body>
</html>

Save this page as page.htm, then open it in your browser by hitting CTRL+O and selecting the document.

Ok so the tag <html> is saying that it is and HTML document. The <head> tag is header information that is not displayed on the browser. The <title> tag is obiously the title that is displayed in the browser caption. The <body> tag dispays whatever is in between it. One tip is to always leave your tags lowercased as this is becoming the standard. As always thank you for reading.
