HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create and structure web pages. It provides the foundation of every website by defining elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, forms, tables, multimedia, and semantic sections. Every modern website, from a personal blog to a large e-commerce platform, starts with HTML.
HTML is not a programming language because it does not perform calculations or make decisions. Instead, it describes the structure and meaning of content, while CSS controls the appearance and JavaScript adds interactivity.
After completing this tutorial, you will be able to build responsive and accessible web pages, understand HTML5 standards, write clean code, and create real-world projects before moving on to CSS and JavaScript.
