Ever wanted to build your own corner of the internet? You are in the right place.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the very first step for every developer. It is the raw structure the bones of every website on the planet.
Why HTML First?
Before you can make a site look "cool" with CSS or "smart" with JavaScript, you must give it a structure.
| Feature | The Analogy | The Tech |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | The Skeleton / Bricks | HTML |
| Style | The Skin / Paint | CSS |
| Logic | The Brain / Electricity | JavaScript |
HTML is the DNA of the Internet. Every billionaire tech founder, every high-paid software engineer, and every creator started exactly where you are right now: Writing their first <h1> tag.
What will you learn?
In this module, we are going to:
- Stop being just a consumer of the web.
- Start being a creator.
- Build a real website from scratch using just text.
A common myth is that you need to be a math genius to code. False. If you can write a grocery list, you can write HTML.
The Developer's Toolkit
To follow along with these tutorials, you only need two things:
- A Browser: (Chrome, Firefox, or Brave).
- A Code Editor: We highly recommend VS Code. It’s free and used by pros.
You don't need a powerful computer to be a web developer. If your computer can run a web browser, it can run HTML!
Ready to Start?
Don't just read build. We have designed these tutorials to be hands-on. By the end of this tutorials, you will have built your very first Personal Portfolio Page.
