So, when someone starts to follow the path of becoming a Web Developer either as frontend or backend, HTML(stands for HyperText Markup Language) is generally the first language that needs to be learnt reason being it is the very basic language you are required to make a webpage, it is the one which forms the structure of a webpage and gives meaning to the different elements and components of a webpage user see and a collection of these interrelated webpages forms a webpage.HTML gives you the power to tell which part of webpage will be the header, which one will be a footer, you can set input fields, you can make a button and much more with the help of HTML. If somebody has a good knowledge of HTML, then google SEO is not a big problem for him/her.
Well, you can make a whole website with just HTML, but that won't be a good idea because HTML can help you show the content but to beautifully present it you would require CSS(Cascading Style Sheets) and to add some basic functionalities JavaScript would be necessary. So, to make a proper Website you need all three of them.
How to use HTML
You can write HTML code in any text editor like Notepad, Wordpad, Sublime Text, VS Code, IntelliJ idea etc.
The basic format of an HTML code looks like this
There are elements to writing HTML code, and these elements are enclosed inside angle brackets "<" and ">", then they called tags like <html> tag , this indicates the starting of an HTML file, <head> this tag tells the head of the webpage and there are many more of them. While writing code in a simple text editor like Notepad or Wordpad you would need to remember this format but if you use code editors like VS Code or IntelliJ idea you can use emmet which helps a lot while writing HTML code.
After writing the code save the file with the .html extension and run it with the help of a browser, then you can see the results of your code or if you are working in code editors you can use extensions like live server (on VS Code) to view the working of your code.
