This course is designed to start you on a path toward future studies in web development and design, no matter how little experience or technical knowledge you currently have. The web is a very big place, and if you are the typical internet user, you probably visit several websites every day, whether for business, entertainment or education.

HTML stands for hypertext markup language. It’s made of keywords and commands that web designers use for creating websites.

Hypertext is text with links that readers can simply click on to go to another page or another part of the page. Meanwhile, markup language uses tags or plain text with special markings to define the sections of a page, such as headers and footers, and other elements, including tables and images.
