1 . 5- HTML Basics

The simplest GUI - HyperText Markup Language

Sir Tim Berners-Lee created a language that describes what we want to see in a document. On the "Web", the GUI is created by writing HTML in a document, similar to writing a book or essay. A consortium of people decide on the standards of the HTML language. HTML (now at version 5) has grown to include buttons, sliders, animations and way more.

Last couple of classes we went over preparing VSCode, the very basics of an HTML file, and some of the simpler tags like <title>, <br>, <p>, and <h1>. 

🤔 Does anyone have any questions so far?

We'll use the same VSCode folder (GitHub repo) as last class. Let's dive into:

• Unique Identifiers (the id= attribute)

• Images <img src="">

  • • Relative vs absolute references

    • Bandwidth theft & copyright infringement

• Hyper Links (the anchor tag) <a href="">

  • • To locations on our page

    • To external sites

    • To another page on our site
