HTML stands for the HyperText Markup
Language. HTML is the major language of the Internet's World
Wide Web. Web sites and web pages are written in HTML. With HTML and
the world wide web, you have the ability to bring together text,
pictures, sounds, and links... all in one place! HTML files are
plain text files, so they can be composed and edited on any type of
computer... Windows, Mac, UNIX, whatever.
Who is this Tutorial
for?
This tutorial is for anyone who is serious about learning HTML.
Perhaps you want your own web page, or an entire web site. Perhaps
you're setting up a website for your business or organization.
You've come to the right place. You do not need any prior experience
in making web pages to take this course (although I will assume you
know how to do some basic things with your computer, like use a
word-processor.)
What do you mean by
Interactive Tutorial?
This tutorial is a "hands-on" tutorial... you get to test your
new HTML skills immediately after you learn them, chapter by chapter
... all within your web browser! There is no need to go fiddle with
other applications while you are learning HTML with this tutorial.
