Hello new World!

Welcome to Learn HTML, the easiest way to learn HTML & CSS online, interactively.

Learning HTML & CSS is essential for any web developer, and does not require to know how to program using JavaScript.

Before you begin, I would recommend that you start out by downloading an HTML & CSS IDE. My personal preference is to use an IDE by JetBrains. You can download the PyCharm Community Edition for free, which has really good HTML, CSS and JavaScript development support built-in, along with all the goodies that a good IDE provides – source code integration, code refactoring, automatic indentation, syntax highlighting, comparison tool, etc.

Introduction

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a standard developed over the years to convey information over the internet by using "hyperlinks" – or just links as we know them today. As opposed to a PDF, an HTML page is much more dynamic in nature, letting you browse the web by clicking on links and interacting with the page. Links could take you either to a different location within the current page, or to a different page over the internet.

The last version of HTML is HTML 5.0, which has a LOT more capabilities than what the web originally had in mind. HTML 5 is an extremely comprehensive platform that allows creating a high-end user interface together with the power of CSS and JavaScript. HTML 5 is so powerful that it has managed to deprecate Adobe Flash, Microsoft's Silverlight, and just about all HTML plugins such as video players, Java applets, and more.

So what is the difference between HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? First of all, they can all be encapsulated within an HTML page, meaning that the browser starts by loading an HTML page, and only then it knows what to load from there
