Highlights
This lesson will guide you through creating web pages, introducing key concepts of computer languages, and explaining the structure and function of the web. You'll learn about HTML for structuring web pages, URLs for addressing resources, and gain hands-on experience editing and testing web pages in a browser.
The web primarily consists of documents written in HTML, enriched with various resources like images and videos, and supported by programs and services that interact with this content. Essentially, anything accessible via your web browser is part of the web, spread across numerous computer systems.
The web is fundamentally a hypertext system, meaning documents, pages, and apps can reference other documents. Users can follow these 'hyperlinks' to navigate related information, like clicking links in articles. This ability to link to other data, including images or videos, forms the core of web technology, allowing for standardized interconnections between digital objects.
