Note:
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are
foundational technologies for web development. HTML structures web content, while
CSS styles and designs it. This guide will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of
HTML and CSS, empowering you to create visually appealing and responsive web
pages.
Part 1: HTML Fundamentals
Key Concepts:
Introduction to HTML:
● HTML is used to structure content on the web.
● It consists of elements and tags that define the structure of a webpage.
Basic Structure of an HTML Document:
● Use <!DOCTYPE html> to indicate the HTML version.
● The <html>, <head>, and <body> elements define the document's
structure.
Text and Headings:
● Use <h1> to <h6> for headings.
● Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.
Links and Navigation:
● Create hyperlinks with the <a> tag.
● Use the href attribute to specify the target URL.
Lists:
● Ordered lists (<ol>) and unordered lists (<ul>) define lists of items.
● List items are marked with <li> tags.
Images:
● Insert images using the <img> tag.
● Use the src attribute to specify the image source.
