CEDU533 - Week 1

After our initial virtual classroom visit utilzing WiZiQ, it was time to dig deep into HTML....

What is HTML?
HTML is a language for describing web pages.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language
HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages
HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags
HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets
HTML tags normally come in pairs like and
The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags

Though a bit obstinate at the start, I soon discovered by utilizing the cut & paste features and the helpful tutorial websites that creating an HTML document was not as difficult as I anticipated. I can see that with a bit more practice the language would become second nature and not so tedious. :)
