Introduction To HTML Programming Language

Hello Steemians, I would so much love to use this medium to share with the members of this community what HTML is, what it is used for and how it is used.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language

HTML is the standard Markup Languages for making Webpages, it is the foundation of any website or webpage. It describes the structure of any webpage including this Steemit Website. Without HTML no webpage can be made to stand. It is the basis for all webpages. HTML Is one of the most simple Programming Languages.

HTML codes are written in tags, and this tags give different definitions to written texts. It defines whether a written text is a paragraph, a heading, a sub-heading, a tabular document or even part of a listed document. HTML Tags are written in angular brackets at the beginning and ending of each element. From the Image below, The Sub in angular is a tag that is opened in the beginning of a new line and closed at the end using a stroke.

HTML Codes consists of Elements, and Attributes. The Elements are the words written between the beginning and ending of a tag. The Image below depicts an element. The Words Text here are elements.

HTML Attributes are just like adjectives, they are used to add additional information to an element. It is basically used when trying to differentiate between many tags with the same elements. It is usually not used regularly.

Unlike other programming languages, HTML codes can be written in and edited using any code editor like, notepad, notepad++, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text Editor etc without downloading additional extension files.

Advantages of HTML

It is used in building standard webpages

It is accepted by all browsers

It is user friendly and very easy to learn

It contains and accepts limitless features

Disadvantages

The Security Feature is not too good

A large number of code is needed to create a simple webpage

It can only be used to use static webpages

To enable a Programmer to build dynamic and very interactive webpage, HTML has a very wonderful feature, which is that it can be integrated with other designing languages like CSS and JavaScript.

There are no much information or enlightenment needed to know about HTML just with little knowledge of what it is. You can dive into your system and start writing HTML codes then with time, you'll switch into writing other languages that spices up your webpage.

Conclusion

As a Programmer, I consider HTML to be the most Simple Programming Language so anyone that wants to get into the Computer Science or Programming field should if possible, get little knowledge of HTML Basics as it will help the person to understand other programming Languages better.

Additionally, Most Programmers just like me are products of self education, So I will also recommend the internet as a good source of every information anyone needs about HTML Programming.
