HTML Tutorial for beginners

HTML is a very simple and popular language, and every programmer or coder will be aware of this language. You may be surprised after knowing that about 1.3 billion websites online today are using HTML language in one way or another. Don’t be confused between HTTP and HTML; I think many of us will know the difference, but beginners will be confused in these different terms. 

What is HTML?

HTML stands for hypertext Markup Language, which is used to create the Web page structure and web applications. With the help of HTML, you can link one web page to another using the HTML hyperlink tag. There are many tags in HTML, and most of the tags have their attributes. Each HTML tag performs a different function on the web page. You can create Tables, insert an image, send data to the server using an input type tag with its attributes. There are many websites on the Internet from where you can Learn HTML, like W3Schools.
