Table of Contents

What is HTML?

HTML is the language of the web. It’s what we use to create the structure of our websites—the headings, paragraphs, images, etc. Here’s a basic HTML document:

The HTML document contains three parts: the doctype, the HTML tags, and the body content. The doctype tells the web browser which version of HTML to use.

The HTML tags define the structure of the document, and the body content is what will be displayed on the page.

What is CSS?

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is the language of the web designer. It allows us to define how a page looks—fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc.—without affecting how it functions.

Without CSS, every website would have no style, and would just be a wall of text in a browser.

Features of CSS3?

CSS3 has a ton of new features, but here are just a few:

border-radius: allows you to create rounded corners without using images
transitions and animations: create smooth animations between different states
multi-column layout: create pages with multiple columns of text
media queries: use different CSS styles depending on the width or height of the browser window

In this course, we’ll be using HTML5 and CSS3 to build a website from scratch. The first three lessons are a crash course in these technologies so that you can get up to speed on the latest changes. After that, we’ll be working on a real-world project: building a website from scratch.
