HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a powerful computer language

devised to implement website creation. HTML is all about content; it

defines the structure of the web pages that we view in our browser

every time we go to Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, or any other site.

HTML5 is the latest version of the language, which incorporates added

video functionality and other features. It takes design and structural

cues from print media, allowing us to create headings, paragraphs, and

insert images. Most importantly, HTML allows us to link externally to

other web pages.

The topics covered in this module include:

● HTML Document

● HTML Content Elements

● Headings, Paragraphs &

Comments

● Divs, Spans & Attributes

● Links & Lists

● Images & Forms

HTML. CSS doesn’t have to be written into a .html file, and can be linked

to from anywhere on the web, allowing for the sharing of style sheets, a

practice that is commonly used by developers.

CSS allows you to enhance the User Experience (UX) for web pages.

You’ll learn how to style and modify the elements that you’ve created in

HTML pages, and how to structure your elements in a balanced way.

runs inside the user’s browser, as opposed to a backend developer

who runs code on a web server.

Frontend developers resolve any errors or bugs on the frontend. They

ensure that all interactions on web browsers are seamless and user

friendly, as well as managing the design across various platforms. In this

module you'll learn the skills, tools and languages to create great web
