The road to web development, among other disciplines, begins with HTML.

HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language, is a building block to developing effective web pages. Before the additional layers of web development are implemented (CSS, JavaScript, etc.). HTML informs the web browser of the structure of the page and the content to display to the visitors of the page.

Without HTML, the web browsers such as Chrome, IE, Firefox, and Safari, wouldn’t know what to do and how to present your content to the viewer. Search Engines, like Google, rely on HTML to index a page in their search results. By using HTML properly you will not only inform the search engines of the importance of your content but also inform the browser and the viewers of your page.
