Lesson 1
HTML Basics
HTML is the backbone of the Internet.
The HTML document is the heart, blood, and soul of websites. It’s the meat between the two hamburger patties. HTML is the pepperoni on pizza. An Internet void of HTML is like a book without pages. Now that you understand the importance of HTML, let’s start learning it, together.
The Document
The HTML document.
In this series, we’re going to explore the HTML document. You can either make a new HTML document, or go to my Github and download an HTML Document template. Click this link and select the Download ZIP button located on the right portion of the Web page. This downloads my entire “Learn Web Development” folder. Once downloaded, unzip the package by right-clicking it and choosing “Unzip”. Note: we’re just going to focus on the learn-html folder. So, open the learn-html folder and find the index.html file. Use a text-editor application to open this file. If you do not use a text-editor, double-clicking the file will simply open the index.html document in a web browser.

Headers, paragraphs, and links, OH MY!
Interactivity with Other Documents
HTML gets along great with CSS and JS documents.
