HTML and CSS 101
For the extreme basics:
What is HTML Code?
The abbreviation of Hyper Text Markup Language.
It was invented by “the father of the internet”. It is the code that writes the information you see in a visual and organized manner. A programming language, it uses a combination of tags which are encased inside the greater and lesser signs:
< >
There are all sorts of tags which rule how words and images are set up on the browser screen. It has been changing in order to give a more uniform set of commands across systems and browsers.
What is CSS Code?
It is an abbreviation for Cascading Style Sheets. Another programming language that is used in tandem with the HTML language, it directs the details of how the HTML tags look, the appearance or styling.
Size, position, color are all examples of details that CSS is now used to dictate. CSS creates some of the same style and look that used to be only available through the use of images, all with different typefaces, additions such as borders, and more.
I have some links to online help, but if you really want to learn it right and know what you are doing, get a reference book. The one illustrated here is for beginners.
