What is HTML?<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sample of HTML code<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before we get into the logistics, let\u2019s take a step back and familiarize ourselves with what HTML does. Almost everything on the internet (including the Career Karma site) was built partially using HTML. HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the basis for a website or app. The programming language structures how text appears on a page. HTML does this using a series of tags which can change anything from font size to text placement. While HTML may not embody the glitz and glam of other programming languages, it\u2019s still a vital language to learn as it\u2019s found in almost every app, website<\/a>, or program. HTML is usually partnered with other programming languages such as CSS (for visuals) and JavaScript (for functionality). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Short History of HTML<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

HTML was first developed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, who was a worker at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). What first started as a simple program to send and receive documents amongst coworkers has since turned into the massively popular language that we know today. HTML has experienced many updates throughout its lifetime and is currently operating on HTML version 5.2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if HTML is so popular, how hard is it to learn? The truth is HTML coding isn\u2019t hard to learn<\/a> at all. In fact, HTML is known as a kind of \u201cgateway\u201d language in the coding community. Many programming novices<\/a> choose to learn HTML first, as it\u2019s very straightforward with a focus on simplicity. HTML is a unique language that, while being easy to learn, is still a very powerful thing. So, is HTML easy to learn? Yes, absolutely! There\u2019s no time like the present, and HTML basics can be learned in just an afternoon. Let\u2019s get coding!

Now that your fears of learning HTML have been quelled, you may be wondering how to get started. Some of the best methods of learning HTML<\/a> are through online courses and books. For online courses specifically, we recommend Codecademy<\/a>, freeCodeCamp<\/a>, and YouTube coding channels<\/a> to start. Keep in mind that there are hundreds of different online learning resources for coding newbies.<\/a> It\u2019s also important to note that the absolute most effective way to learn to code is through immersive coding bootcamps<\/a>. Career Karma can help match you with the best coding bootcamp to help you succeed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is HTML easy to learn? What is HTML? How do I start?
