What is HTML? A Beginner-Friendly Explanation

If you want to become a web developer, HTML is the first language you should learn. It is the foundation of every website on the internet. In simple words:

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is used to create the structure and content of a webpage.

Why HTML is important?

  • Websites cannot exist without HTML
  • It is simple and beginner-friendly
  • Used with CSS and JavaScript
  • Works on all browsers

How does HTML work?

HTML is made of tags. Tags tell the browser what type of content is being shown.

Example of an HTML tag:

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

Here:

  • <p> is the opening tag
  • </p> is the closing tag
  • The text inside is the content

Basic HTML Page Example

Below is a simple webpage example you can try:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>My First Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
  <p>This is my very first HTML page.</p>
</body>
</html>

How to practice?

You can practice HTML using:

  • Notepad (Windows)
  • VS Code
  • Mobile Editors like “Web Code” or “Acode”
  • Online editors like CodePen or W3Schools

What’s next?

In the next lesson, we will learn about the basic structure of an HTML page and how different sections work together.

Stay tuned and keep learning!
