As many conceive it, its not a programming language. It’s a markup language. *Slidecontecnt* I’m coming to tags. Its on the next slide.
Common tags you’ll find in an html source code are And <p>,<h1> etc<head> includes the external files which u may include in ur html doc such as a css or a javascript file<div> divides the page into sections upon ur need<body> defines the main body of ur division, it consists of several sub tags such as <a> <p> etc etcI think that’s all the basics you need to know to understand further.
The most reason version html4, has been on for over a decade now. And, it hasn't really seen a major update. Sure there's XHTML, but that did little more than make things slightly stricter - making you write better quality code if you were at all concerned with compliance. The main area that was not been addressed yet was web application. To give authors more flexibility and enable more interactive websites, html5 was introduced.Critics say that html5 could actually kill flash and silverlight.
