Introduction to HTML

We begin our journey through the worlds of CodeWorlds, and our first stop is HTML, which you'll learn about in ancient Egypt.

Why Do We Start with HTML?

HTML is like the foundation of a building - it's the base upon which everything else is built. Here are a few reasons why HTML is an excellent starting point for the world of web development.

HTML, being the skeleton of web pages, is a key element of the front-end path. Its main task is defining the structure of a web page - organizing content, images, video, music, forms, tables, and many other elements we encounter while browsing the internet.

Thanks to HTML, internet content is presented consistently across different computers and operating systems. It allows you to create web page structures that are readable and display correctly on various devices, regardless of their size or type.

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is like the hieroglyphs of the digital ancient Egypt. It was created in 1993 by Tim Berners-Lee, the founder and president of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
