Welcome to our guide on web development! This page will introduce you to the basics of web development, including the necessary languages, tools, and resources to get started.

Key Concepts

  • HTML: The foundation of any web page. It stands for HyperText Markup Language and is used to create the structure of web pages.
  • CSS: Stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is used to style and design web pages.
  • JavaScript: A programming language that adds interactivity to web pages.

Learning Resources

Here are some resources to help you learn more about web development:

  • W3Schools: A great starting point for learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • MDN Web Docs: Offers comprehensive documentation and tutorials on web development.
  • FreeCodeCamp: A free platform to learn web development and collaborate on projects.

Getting Started

To get started with web development, you'll need a few things:

  1. Text Editor: A tool to write your code. You can use something like Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or Atom.
  2. Web Browser: To view your web pages. Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are popular choices.
  3. Local Server: To test your web pages locally. Tools like XAMPP or MAMP can help you set up a local server environment.

Example Project

Let's say you want to create a simple "Hello, World!" web page. Here's what your HTML code might look like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Hello, World!</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

Save this code in a file named index.html and open it in your web browser. You should see the words "Hello, World!" displayed on the screen.

Next Steps

Now that you've created your first web page, you can start learning more about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Experiment with different elements and styles to see how they affect your web page. Remember, practice makes perfect!
