BASICS OF WEB DESIGN: Introduction to web design

     Contents for the web are created using HTML (hypertext mark up language). A web site contains one to thousands of pages created basically with HTML.
HTML isn't quite synonymous with conventional programming languages but it is usually seen as the "programming language of the web" but that idea has long been debunked with the advent of real web programming languages like php, asp.net, pearl, java script and applets etc. But even with these, HTML remains the giant for rendering contents for use in the web because HTML isn't  a real programming language but rather is a set of rules defined for presenting contents like documents, images, sounds, videos, programs etc for the web therefore the web programming languages need html for integrating it's codes to the web.
     HTML uses tags to create a page or format contents for the web. Tags comes in pairs: an opening tag, and a closing tag. The opening tag marks the begining of a command and a closing tag indicates the end of a command. In my next topic, i'll introduce the tags and their function and we'll develop a page. Thanks for viewing.
