Created and Designed to help the new webmaster learn the
language of the Internet called HTML, the following chapters
are the online, interactive way to create a new, exciting,
and informative website that can help your business and/or
personal ventures on the Internet.
What is HTML?
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the language
that browser's read. (Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator...)
Websites and webpages are written in HTML and if you know
HTML, you have the ability to create highly informative, high
performance, and good looking websites. And since HTML files
are simple plain text (ASCII) files, you can create them no
matter what Operating System you are running (UNIX, Windows,
Mac...).
Tim Berners-Lee, the grandfather of HTML, started designing
his first elementary browsing and authoring system for the
internet in 1990. He created a simplistic text-based language
that allowed for any word process to create HTML pages. Thus,
the web flourished due to wide spread use. When companies
like Netscape and Microsoft started developing browsers, their
developers added more and more HTML tags to it's source. Some
companies, such as Microsoft added tags like <iframe>,
<marquee>, and <bgsound> while Netscape did not.
Thus, that is why some websites are different when viewed
in Internet Explorer versus Netscape Communicator.
