What Is HTML?

HTML is a short form of the “HyperText Markup Language” inevitably and extensively used on the web. Yes, it is inevitable because markup language shows the relationships between elements present in the document.

What Is Markup Language?

Markup is a standard text-encoding system. It contains a set of symbols, which is inserted in a text document. These symbols can control the entire structure, page format, and relationships between the parts in the document.

For instance, you can display texts and their relationships with other elements in a web page in a browser using markup language like HTML.

Why HTML?

Like our natural languages, HTML has its syntax. So, it is a language of computing devices aka, programming language.

I am going to present an interesting fact or a process that always taking place behind the curtain. When you program your code in any computing language (E.g., PHP) that is acceptable to web servers, they can receive as inputs. However, web servers always return the browsers outputs in HTML code.

Therefore, it is the browsers’ language in a sense. No doubt, XML and other markup languages are in practice but not to the extent that HTML is.

This is a fact that HTML is the first web development language and every programmer, yes each programmer must know it as an entry-level language.

Once a programmer understands HTML and its syntax well, it opens the doors for learning another programming/coding languages.

Now, we know HTML alone is not sufficient to deal with the requirements of modern web programming. Therefore, we often see the pair of a term: HTML and CSS.

Now, let’s know what CSS is and it is so closely attached with HTML.

What is CSS?

CSS is a short form of Cascading Style Sheet. As its name suggests, it offers styling properties to web pages. Styling of colors, shapes, sizes, fonts, layouts, and a lot more elements usually found on a web page.

It is a kind of programming language and is used for multiple purposes along with other markup languages including HTML and variants/forks of XML.

There are three types of CSS:

• Inline CSS
• Embedded CSS
• External CSS

The third important thing for web programmers is JavaScript (not Java) used to control the behavior of various elements present on a web page.

Now, you might have recognized how HTML is important to learn and why the demand for HTML projects or tests is high when you face any interview to apply as a web developer.

Let’s see nearly a couple of dozen basic and most commonly used HTML projects.

#1 – Parallax Website

Today, the parallax website is trendy, and most small to mid-size businesses with little information to share use this style. We should include three to four different static images in the background and overlay the texts in opposite font colors.

Thanks to smart mobile devices, we now love a lot of scrolling on tiny screens. This fact has made the parallax website highly popular among users.

You can use HTML to create different sections and set images as well as texts. You can adjust margins and padding for the texts and images. You can show your creativity in design through different layout styles of text blocks and image blocks. These are all possible mainly through CSS and HTML combinations.

Here is the HTML sample code for the website

#2 – A Tribute Web Page

A tribute page is always written in the honor of a leading personality who had contributed something to the human race or our society by and large. It means it has some texts describing the contribution and an image as an illustration of that personality.

Of course, birth date and death date are essential info we used to include in a tribute page.

HTML and CSS together let you give a style to the page. You can use different types of fonts and colors to decorate or make more attractive your web page. Let’s have an example of it.

We all are familiar with Landing Page and it’s important in a website as well as its marketing. Landing page development demands a two-column layout design. So. You must have good command as a prospective web developer over designing different building blocks of a web page.

• Header with texts and images.
• Body in two columns: texts and site navigation.
• Footer with links to navigation and some essential info.

HTML 5 is excellent to create sections or divisions in a web page with simple and precise coding with less code. CSS 3 is giving the best opportunities to decorate each element with different styling. It also lets you take care of white spaces and alignments of different UI elements.

#4 – A Web Form

We used to use a lot of forms on the web pages. Creating forms using HTML is a comparatively easy and small project for a web developer. CSS can enhance the appearance of web forms and their elements. JavaScript can make a web for interactive and responding in real-time.

You need to get familiarity with basic HTML tags to create different types of fields, give them attributes or names and place some placeholder texts in it to indicate its usage.

There will be a submit button and in response to action over the button, a response should generate automatically. These seem tricky but not difficult after some practice with different types of web forms.

User manuals, installation manuals, and similar technical documents are an essential part of a technical product or service company. Therefore, you must learn how to create a technical document page as a web programmer.

In most cases, a technical document contains a two-column layout: one column is for the navigation panel; another column is for the content panel. The navigation panel consists of links or dynamic content that aligned with relevant content in the next content panel.

A user can click the link in the navigation panel and find relevant content in the content panel.
