To understand HTML thoroughly, it's helpful to have a foundation in a few key areas:
What is HTML?
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages. It provides the structure of a webpage using "tags" that define different elements like text, images, links, and more.
Basic Computer Skills: Since you have an ICDL certificate, you're well-prepared in this area.
Understanding the Web:

Basic Text Editors:
- Learn to use simple text editors, like Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac), or code editors like Visual Studio Code or Atom, where you can write HTML and see the results.
JavaScript (Optional for Basic HTML):
- Although not necessary for basic HTML, JavaScript is often used to add interactivity to web pages. It's useful to learn once you're comfortable with HTML and CSS.
Suggested Learning Path:
- Start with a simple HTML tutorial to create basic web pages.
- Practice by creating a few simple pages, like a personal profile page or a resume.
- Gradually add CSS to style your pages.
- Use resources like MDN Web Docs and W3Schools for in-depth tutorials and references.
This approach should help you build a solid understanding of HTML from the ground up. Let me know if you'd like more specific resources!
