There are no special prerequisites for this course.
HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is a language used to define the content, structure, and meaning of webpages. It's one of the three core web technologies used to create websites, the other two being CSS and JavaScript.
HTML is not a programming language per se, which otherwise has the provision of data types, operators and logical constructs to control the flow of execution in a given program; it's purely just a markup language used to define documents.
If you want to get into web development, one of the most popular and demanding careers of the current era, you have to begin with HTML no matter what kind of specialization you wish to do later on.
HTML is the fundamental building block of the World Wide Web. It works by marking up some pieces of text to have a special meaning with the help of elements. There is a large collection of elements in HTML. An HTML page is just an amalgamation of these elements together.
Learning HTML is extremely easy and intuitive. There isn't really that much to wrap the mind around in HTML — the grammar has a few rules, the basic terminology and concepts are very straightforward, and some advanced ideas are also pretty simple to digest. It's all peaches and cream to become capable of writing HTML in less than a week. Seriously.
This course aims at providing you with a rock-solid foundation on HTML before you proceed to explore other amazing avenues in web development, which will usually commence with CSS and JavaScript.
This course makes sure that by the end of it, you have a profound knowledge of not just HTML but also what to learn up next and why, and even where to code.
Going into more details, by the end of this course, you'll have a firm grasp over the following:
<code>
, <samp>
and <kbd>
, respectively.<title>
, <meta>
and <link>
, in addition to a few others.<meta>
, <link>
, <style>
, and <script>
. We'll see the different kinds of metadata that could be configured for a document, such as the viewport's behavior, or the favicon.<header>
, <footer>
, <aside>
, <article>
, <section>
, and so on.<img>
while considering a great number of its characteristics before moving over to consider the relatively recent <picture>
element. We'll also go over the old but still supported idea of image maps.<table>
, and then consider slightly more advanced concepts, such as sectioning tables, rowspans and colspans, and so on.A big yes! HTML is one of the most simplest of web technologies to learn. In fact, people completely new to the world of web development are first made to learn HTML, since it forms the very foundation of the web.

When you have a robust foundation, with the fundamentals crystal-clear, your mind will intrinsically get that ability to handle any kind and level of complexity.
With a comprehensive resource that covers literally every aspect of a given topic, your time is spent practicing the learnt concepts, not resolving confusions and basic questions.
Coding is a detailed craft. Likewise, any resource trying to teach it in any way should be detailed as well, or else people will have to acquire those integral details from different places in a fragmented and haphazard manner.
Structure is vital to an intuitive learning experience of a given resource. Without structure, the right concepts get introduced at the wrong times, ultimately leading to confusion and breaking the desired flow of comprehension.
