The Basic Language of the Web: HTML

Posted by Laura Jones on Monday, June 21st 2027

All modern websites and web applications are built using three fundamental
technologies: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These are the languages of the web.

In this post, let's focus on HTML. We will learn what HTML is all about, and why
you too should learn it.

What is HTML?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It's a markup language that web
developers use to structure and describe the content of a webpage (not a
programming language).

HTML consists of elements that describe different types of content: paragraphs,


links, headings, images, video, etc. Web browsers understand HTML and render HTML
code as websites.

In HTML, each element is made up of 3 parts:

The opening tag


The closing tag
The actual element
You can learn more at the MDN Web Docs.

Why should you learn HTML?

There are countless reasons for learning the fundamental language of the web. Here
are 5 of them:

To be able to use the fundamental web dev language
