Structuring content with semantic HTML
Can you remember the first Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) project you ever created? My money is on the infamous “Hello World” project. Ah, the beginner coder days – learning to wield the mighty < and > symbols for opening and closing tags, and figuring out how a simple / turns an opening tag into a closing one. Those moments of discovery were magical.
I still remember something from my first Intro to Programming class through The Last Mile that has stuck with me all these years. The instructor explained HTML, CSS, and JavaScript using the analogy of the human body. HTML was the bone structure – the foundation. CSS was the skin, hair, and eye color, providing the styling on top of the skeleton. And JavaScript? That was the brain – the control center that brought functionality to the entire body. Just like a body needs strong bones, a website needs well-structured HTML for stability.
