HTML is what you would like to be on your web design such as text, graphs, and more. In HTML there are many tags that tell the computer what you want to display. HTML includes tag that would be in angle brackets (<such as these>).
There is a opening and closing tag for every tag you enter in. The opening tag (<b>) will tell the computer where to start the bold lettering. The close tag (</b>) will tell the computer where to end the bold lettering. Now once you learn all the tags, you will be golden for HTML, but you have only just started.Next you will have to focus on CSS.
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) defines how HTML elements are to be displayed.
With CSS, you will need to pay attention closely because there are many new rules.
Such as, ending each command in a semi-colen (;), in stead of the angle brackets you are now using curly brackets ({,}), etc..
A line in Css would look like this:
body {
background-color: blue;
} ,
background-color: blue;
} ,
The code above would change the background color of your web design. In css you state what your are editing, put your open curly bracket, then add in what you want to this section, closing bracket and you are all set. Your page should look a little different. By the way, you would add this above your body tag at the beginning (<body>,</body>).
So far we have only learned HTML and CSS, but to know all the basics there are many free websites that you can check out. Even if you don't want to code for a living, it's just a fun thing you can learn to do on a rainy day while you are stuck in the house. Please give it a try and if you have any questions comment below!
Thank you to all my readers!

It's so cool you're taking a programming course. I wish I'd learned to code at your age. If you can code, you can RULE THE WORLD!
