HTML - Getting Started

If you have an interest in learning to create websites, the first and easiest place to begin is with HTML. HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the basic structural language of web sites. It is the absolute easiest language out there, but you still have a fair degree of control over your resulting web page.

The absolute biggest help towards learning HTML is the W3 Schools tutorial page on HTML, which you can find here.

In terms of trying out and practicing your html code, creating a file, saving it, and opening it in a browser can get annoying. W3 schools produced an excellent in-browser html reader here, and I've found a real-time html parser here.

Although this tutorial does not currently teach HTML5, it provides a very solid and stable understanding of the Internet's most basic language.
