12 | 15 | All modern websites and web applications are built using three |
13 | 16 | <em>fundamental</em> |
14 | 17 | technologies: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These are the languages of the |
15 | 18 | web. |

18 | 22 | In this post, let's focus on HTML. We will learn what HTML is all about, |
19 | 23 | and why you too should learn it. |

21 | 26 | <h3>What is HTML?</h3> |
| 27 | + |
22 | 28 | <p> |
23 | 29 | HTML stands for <strong>H</strong>yper<strong>T</strong>ext |
24 | 30 | <strong>M</strong>arkup <strong>L</strong>anguage. It's a markup language |
25 | 31 | that web developers use to structure and describe the content of a webpage |
26 | 32 | (not a programming language). |
27 | 33 | </p> |
| 34 | + |
28 | 35 | <p> |
29 | 36 | HTML consists of elements that describe different types of content: |
30 | 37 | paragraphs, links, headings, images, video, etc. Web browsers understand |
31 | 38 | HTML and render HTML code as websites. |
32 | 39 | </p> |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + <p>In HTML, each element is made up of 3 parts:</p> |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + <ol> |
| 44 | + <li>The opening tag</li> |
| 45 | + <li>The closing tag</li> |
| 46 | + <li>The actual element</li> |
| 47 | + </ol> |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + <p>You can learn more at the MDN Web Docs.</p> |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + <h3>Why should you learn HTML?</h3> |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + <p> |
| 54 | + There are countless reasons for learning the fundamental language of the |
| 55 | + web. Here are 5 of them: |
| 56 | + </p> |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + <ul> |
| 59 | + <li>To be able to use the fundamental web dev language</li> |
| 60 | + <li> |
| 61 | + To hand-craft beautiful websites instead of relying on tools like |
| 62 | + Worpress or Wix |
| 63 | + </li> |
| 64 | + <li>To build web applications</li> |
| 65 | + <li>To impress friends</li> |
| 66 | + <li>To have fun 😃</li> |
| 67 | + </ul> |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + <p>Hopefully you learned something new here. See you next time!</p> |
