Objective

Introduce learners to what HTML is, its purpose, and why it’s essential for web development.

🧠 Key Concepts:

  • HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language
  • It is the standard language used to create web pages
  • HTML describes the structure and content of a webpage using tags
  • Every website on the internet uses some form of HTML

Welcome to your first step into the world of web development!

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the foundation of every website you visit. It tells the web browser how to display content — from text and headings to links and images.

Think of HTML as the skeleton of a web page. It doesn’t make your site look pretty (that’s CSS) or interactive (that’s JavaScript), but it gives the page structure so everything else can sit on top.

In this lesson, you’ll learn:

  • What HTML is and what it’s used for
  • How the web browser reads HTML
  • Why it’s essential for web developers

You don’t need any prior knowledge — just curiosity and a desire to learn!
