Web development tutorials HTML.

Home

Before you start any kind of application programming for the web, you should know what HTML is all about. Application programming can be done without knowing HTML in full, however its a good idea to read some HTML tutorial first. Here I will only give an example of a simple HTML page.

Simple HTML page.

Here is a simple HTML page and common stuff that is used or modified often in server side scripting to display the data or set how it should look.

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, its more like a formatting language, defining how data is shown on the browser.

The language is about tagging text, to mark how it should look. The <b></b> tag will make the data look bold. Font tag can define what font to use and the size of the font (there are more options for font tag). <br> gives a line break in HTML. <hr> shows a horizontal line. you can copy and paste this page in a file named test.htm and test by modifying the values.

The note pad can be used to edit htm page. Its better to use front page or visual interdev. There are also many free editors on the web to edit html and other languages such as php, asp and aspnet.
