Lesson 1: Introduction to HTML

What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the backbone of web content. It provides the structure and meaning to web pages. Let's explore the basic structure of an HTML document:


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My First Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome to My Webpage</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
</body>
</html>

Let's Write Some HTML

Try creating a simple HTML document structure:

My First Web Page

Welcome to My Web Page

This is a paragraph of text.
