"My journey into web development began with understanding the building blocks of the web: HTML."
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the backbone of every webpage. It defines the structure and layout of content on the web. Learning HTML was my first step in becoming a web developer, and it gave me the confidence to explore more complex technologies.
Basic Structure:
Understanding <!DOCTYPE>, <html>, <head>, <body>.
Creating semantic layouts with tags like <header>, <footer>, <section>, and <article>.
Text Formatting:
Using tags like <h1> to <h6>, <p>,<strong>, and <em> to format content.
Links and Media:
Adding hyperlinks with <a> and embedding images with <img>.
Embedding videos and audio with <video> and <audio>.
Tables and Lists:
Structuring data with <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, and <tr>.
Creating ordered and unordered lists with <ol> and <ul>.
Forms and Inputs:
Designing forms with <form>, <input>, <textarea>, <button>, and form attributes like required and placeholder.
