HTML



                This course is designed for a beginner. This is a preliminary course where you can learn to make an attractive Web page.

                You'll be glad to know that to learn HTML is really very simple. A web page is nothing more than a file, a HTML file to be precise. It's called HTML because web page documents have the file extension .html or .htm. HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.

                I strongly recommend that to begin with please do not use any of fancy HTML editors like as Microsoft FrontPage 2000 and Macromedia Dream Weaver.( you might find them useful later on but a big no for the time being.)

                Before you begin creating your own Web pages with HTML, you need a little background knowledge about that Web pages are, how to view and edit them, and what you can expect to achieve with them. 

                1) Get a computer. I used a Windows Me computer to create the figures in this tutorial, but you can use any Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX machine to create your Web pages. The speed of the computer itself doesn't matter much for accessing Web pages.

                2) Get a Web browser program. This is the software your computer needs to retrieve and display HTML Web pages. The most popular browser programs are currently Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and Netscape Navigator 5. One or the other of these two Web browser programs is used by over 95% of the people who look at Web pages, so it's a good idea to get them both.

                3) Use Notepad for writing HTML code.

Once you have these 3 software you are only 60 seconds from making your first page.
