HTML is compared to a human skeleton, CSS to skin, and JS to the brain
A website's files (HTML, CSS, JS) are sent from a web server to the browser for parsing and display
The video is divided into 5 chapters, each with practice sets and solutions
The speaker provides a PDF of the introduction and discusses how HTML is used to define the look and feel of a website
HTML is the language of the web used for creating websites and uses tags to define content and structure
CSS is used for handling designs and styling, making the website visually appealing
JavaScript is used for programming logic and functionality, allowing for interactive features and dynamic content
The speaker emphasizes the importance of all three technologies for creating a complete website.- The text discusses the role of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in creating and designing a website.
HTML is used as the base structure of a website, CSS is used for styling, and JavaScript is used for frontend logic and interactivity.
JavaScript can be compared to a car's engine, handling logic and user interactions.
HTML is referred to as the frame of a website, CSS as the decoration, and JavaScript as the frontend logic.
JavaScript operates on the client-side, meaning users can see its logic, while the backend logic is hidden from users.
When creating a website, users don't need to install anything special to write basic HTML, but using a text editor like Visual Studio Code (VScode) can make development easier.
To create an HTML file, users can save a Notepad file with the ".html" or ".htm" extension and open it with a web browser.
Not all of a website's code can be seen by copying and pasting the page source into a text editor, as some styles may be loaded from external sources.
VScode is a recommended text editor for web development due to its features, such as code suggestions, keyboard shortcuts, and extensions like "Live Server" for easy file serving and testing.
To use "Live Server," users must install the extension and create a new file with the desired name and extension, then use the extension to open the file, which creates a local web server and displays the file in a web browser.- HTML is a programming language used for creating web pages, it consists of various elements and tags.
HTML structure includes a parent element called HTML, which has two children elements: Head and Body.
Head and Body are siblings, and they are the children of HTML.
Most HTML elements have opening and closing tags, with content in between.
Some HTML tags have no content, such as the HR tag, which is used to create a horizontal line.
HTML files can use either ".html" or ".htm" extensions, but ".html" is more commonly used.
Inspect Element and View Page Source are features in web browsers that allow users to inspect the HTML and CSS of a webpage.
Responsiveness is a website design concept that ensures a website looks good on all devices, regardless of screen size.
HTML elements include opening and closing tags and the content in between, forming a complete element.
HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML tags and are often used with specific tags, such as the anchor tag.
Anchor tags are used to create clickable links to other web pages, and they require an href attribute to specify the URL to which the link will redirect.
