Start Developing for the Web
We all start learning Web development somewhere. In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of creating a Web page and easy ways to add style and content.
There are probably as many theories of Web development as there are Web Developers. The approach presented here is not the only one, nor is it necessarily the “best” one. It draws heavily from generally accepted “best practices” for creating Web sites that are neutral with respect to browsers, plug-ins, and operating systems.
Lesson: Content vs. Presentation
One of the basic rules of Web development is that content should be separated from its presentation. This is a somewhat oversimplified way of noting that meaning of content is not generally reliant upon how it is preseted to us. It also acknowledges that while presentation can enhance content, it does not (usually) have meaning of its own beyond what we may assign to it.
Lesson: HyperText Mark-up Language
The lifeblood of the World Wide Web is HyperText Mark-up Language, or HTML. HTML is the how and why Web pages and sites work the way they do. But do not despair! What may look like complicated programming is in fact relatively simply mark-up of content.
