The Bone Structure of HTML
You may not believe me when I tell you, I fell in love with coding because of HTML and CSS! Weird right? I mean they aren’t even languages , like the infamous JavaScript, Python, Ruby or Java. HTML stands for “Hyper Text Markup Language” and CSS stands for “Cascading Style-Sheets”, which in normal people talk just means that html is the bones, blood & veins, and structure of creating a website, while css is the hair, skin and nails of it. With the power of the two, a beginner like myself was able to explore a snippet of the visual magic that coding can display!
As I mentioned, HTML is like the bone structure of creating a website! HTML was written in 1993 by Tim Berners-Lee, a contractor at CERN, (European Organization for Nuclear Research).
“The first publicly available description of HTML was a document called “HTML Tags”, first mentioned on the Internet by Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991.It describes 18 elements comprising the initial, relatively simple design of HTML. Except for the hyperlink tag, these were strongly influenced by SGMLguid, an in-house Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)-based documentation format at CERN. Eleven of these elements still exist in HTML 4.”
