Hello everyone👋!!

If you are a beginner then it is for sure you would be struggling with choosing different languages and fields of technology.

And if you choose Web Development then it's pretty simple that you have to learn HTML first. But here comes the question that whether HTML is easy to learn or not?🧐

So in today's article, I am going to talk about few points that you should know when starting to learn HTML. I am going to explain the basics of HTML, why it’s useful, and how you can learn to master it.

Let's get into it!!🔍

Firstly let's not confuse HTML as a programming language, it is a Markup language.

📍What is HTML?

HTML= HyperText Markup Language

Let's split these terms to understand them better.

  • HyperText= Any text which has a link within it is called hypertext.

Example: Isha Gupta

Here, Isha Gupta is a hypertext. So, whenever you click on a link on a webpage, it renders you to another webpage that shows you have clicked hypertext. So, It acts as a link to connect two or more web pages or HTML documents with each other.

  • MarkUp Language= Markup means to structure it in a specific format. So, Markup language is a computer language that is used to apply the layout to a text document. It helps make your text more interactive as well as dynamic.

So, here comes the definition for HTML: HTML is used to create web pages and apps, and to structure its content that can be displayed in a web browser.

📍Why Should You Learn HTML?

  1. You don't need to be a good coder to learn HTML, it teaches to how to think like a coder, you just need to creative.
  2. It does not take months or years to master it, only consistency matters, and you can learn it within few weeks.
  3. Whether you are into front-end, back-end, video game programming, or app development, you are likely to run some lines of HTML somewhere along the way.
  4. You don't have to rely on someone to add content to your website, you can do it on your own and build amazing websites by yourself.
  5. Finally, by learning HTML you can lay the foundation that will further help you in becoming a developer. Because when you learn the language, you will be able to gradually think like a programmer.

That's pretty enough to know why you should learn HTML, let's dive into the next part.

📍How Hard Is It To Learn HTML?

  1. It's relatively easy to learn HTML. It takes only a few hours to learn the basics of HTML and 12-15 days to master HTML.
  2. You don't need to spend your time learning all the tags and attributes just remember the basic ones and you are good to go. Also, there are many code snippets and cheat sheets available on the internet from where you can copy and paste the code and save your time. I have made a separate blog on this, you can check it here: Go to blog
  3. All you need is a laptop, a text editor like a notepad, and a good internet connection.
  4. Notepad does work well when you are learning offline and want to keep it simple up to HTML. But I would suggest you download code editors like Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code and try your hands on different platforms to get that developer's vibe.
  5. You can also try online code editors like codepen, w3school editor, online HTML editor and many more.
  6. Once you start running your website, you will be amazed to witness the wide range of skills you can learn from it on top of HTML.

Everything seems hard until you try it on your own. Go for it & enjoy the process. With patience and practice, you’ll learn to make the most of it.😄
