HTML

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is a language used to define the content, structure, and meaning of webpages. It's one of the three core web technologies used to create websites, the other two being CSS and JavaScript.

HTML is not a programming language per se, which otherwise has the provision of data types, operators and logical constructs to control the flow of execution in a given program; it's purely just a markup language used to define documents.

If you want to get into web development, one of the most popular and demanding careers of the current era, you have to begin with HTML no matter what kind of specialization you wish to do later on.

HTML is the fundamental building block of the World Wide Web. It works by marking up some pieces of text to have a special meaning with the help of elements. There is a large collection of elements in HTML. An HTML page is just an amalgamation of these elements together.

Learning HTML is extremely easy and intuitive. There isn't really that much to wrap the mind around in HTML — the grammar has a few rules, the basic terminology and concepts are very straightforward, and some advanced ideas are also pretty simple to digest. It's all peaches and cream to become capable of writing HTML in less than a week. Seriously.
