HTML 101 - Part 1

HTML 101 Any time you teach, you have to make some assumptions about your students. These are my assumptions about you; I assume that you: Know how to surf the net, Have no prior experience with HTML, Are not a computer programmer, Know how to create, edit, and save files. That’s it! It doesn’t matter whether you want to learn HTML because you have to or because you think it would be fun. There are two subjects you need to learn, no three, no four—yes, four subjects you need to learn in order to make attractive web pages: HTML - HyperText Markup Language, the language of the web; CSS - Cascading Style Sheets, provides the “look and feel” of web pages; JavaScript - This isn’t absolutely necessary, but knowing a little programming can help you make your web pages more interactive and interesting; It helps if you know a little about creating graphics and editing photos. Again, not absolutely necessary, but knowing how to work with images will make your web pages more attractive.
