The wonderful thing about this language is the fact that it can be integrated with other programming languages or other languages to be integrated into it. In most cases you will find that the latter is usually the case.

The truth about all these is that having a good working knowledge of html is enough to establish you on the web and even give you the ability to be independent of paying people to help you out with web pages etc . Then later, learning other languages like php, javascript are also very essential but thats going to the advanced stage which e will treat in other forthcoming lectures but for now let us look at html and tell you (the novice) how to get up a web page using html. Please pay attention to this very part. It will determine how you will fare with the language if you follow these procedures and gets it correct.

HOW TO START THE DESIGN WITH HTML:

Now simply follow these steps.

Open notepad on your computer screen ( For the novice, please go to START then click RUN , in the little prompt box that will appear, type “notepad” and click “OK” then a notepad should open up for you)

In the notepad type this;

<html>

<body>

<h1> MY NAME IS HTML NOVICE </h1>

</body>

</html>

( i will explain the above soon but just go ahead and follow up the process)

Then go to FILE on your browser menu, choose SAVE AS and then give the file the name “novice.html”, please save this file in your desktop for easy accessibility or in any other folder you think you can easily find it.

Okay now open that saved file and you will see that it reads something like this below. We will come to the explainations of the syntax later and how you can play about more with html. If you did not get the result below then go back and check your syntax to make sure that you have typed the correct syntax.

MY NAME IS HTML NOVICE

Now let us explain your the syntax:

<html> = Every html page starts with this tag

<html>= Every html page closes with this tag

<body> = Every content or body of the page is started with this tag and it comes inside the <html> and </html>

</body>= Every <body> tag ends with a </body>

Please refer to this syntax again

<html>

<body>

<h1> MY NAME IS HTML NOVICE </h1>

</body>

</html>

Alright we are back again. I know you must have tried out the above syntax but lets take you even further than that. In a complete html page you will need to include the basic html tags that will present your web page in a solid format. Now let us see the basic structure of a html page ( Note this is my own structure), an good html coder can build their own html structures the way they want but one thing is very clear, they must begin with a <html><body> and end with a </body></html>. Any other thing that comes inside it will be at the descretion of the coder, let me now show you how i will build a basic html code.

See here below and explainations will also follow up the codes used.

NOTE: Before we move ahead, please note that for you to make a comment in your html page you can use this characters like this <!– Your comment here –> . This particular expression that comes inside the <!– and –> will not be displayed on the browser. You will get to see these in the coming examples.
