Introduction

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and JavaScript are the languages that run the web. They’re very closely related, but they’re also designed for very specific tasks. Understanding how they interact will go a long way towards becoming a web developer.

  • HTML is for adding meaning to raw content by marking it up.
  • CSS is for formatting that marked up content.
  • JavaScript is for making that content and formatting interactive.

Think of HTML as the abstract text and images behind a web page, CSS as the page that actually gets displayed, and JavaScript as the behaviors that can manipulate both HTML and CSS. HTML, CSS and JavaScript are Front-end Languages, For the backend PHP is used along with the others.

Requirements:

  1. Sound knowledge of the above-mentioned languages.
  2. A computer or a laptop with a browser and a text editor.
  3. Study material or a sound internet connection (for research only)
