Hello folks, I am starting web development in asp.net. I am interested in this language now-a-days. I am just in a naïve state.  I am worried about html. When I start web development, there is always a term brings up named html. There is some special system to write this language. I can’t understand why I need to learn html while I am going to start with asp.net. It causes a lot of confusion on me. Can anyone please brief about the need of html?

  • Hello dear kristofer, welcome to web development world. Web development is a very promising and challenging sector now-a-days. HTML is the basic language to develop web pages. For this reason it is too much important whether you use asp.net or PHP or any other web development language.
  •  Actually in web world every page is processed through HTML. When you enter any URL in your browser, it sends an HTML code. Say a page is developed with PHP but when you want to visit this page, and then it sends some html code to your browser. Every browser is processed web pages through html. When a browser sends your desired requested URL to server than server sends back a HTML code. By which you can browse any page.
  • Now-a-days there are lots of languages to develop websites. But every page has its own HTML code. It is called Hypertext Markup Language in short HTML.  There are lots of resources to learn this language over net. You can download books also to learn this as well as tutorials are also available. You can start with http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk.

Hope you are cleared about the need of HTML.

Basically, HTML is the standard used in the web world. HTML is flexible, meaning that HTML can be inserted code scripts such as JavaScript, VBScript, and also a web-based programming languages ​​like PHP and ASP. Flash animation as well as several types of multimedia files for free and also can be inserted and displayed through HTML. HTML versatility and carrying capacity is increased usability and make it as a dynamic language code.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is known as the language of text-based code to create a web page. Its existence is identified with the extension *. htm or *. html, such as index.html.

To create the HTML, you can use the software editors such as Dreamweaver. Actually, notepad or WordPad is enough if you want to create a simple HTML file or want to explore the language of HTML code.

HTML file actually consists of simple tags or elements of the following:

The example above shows how to use tags <h2> ... </ h2> that will change the font size in which this tag is used to write the title. Examples of the second tag is <br/> to be used if you want to put the next lines of text separated from the previous text line.

One of the most important thing in learning HTML is to know and master the use of HTML tags and browser support of tags.

Hope it helps.

HTML the Hypertext Markup Language is the major markup language for web pages. Just like ASP.NET, it is advised to use HTML because it has the elements which can form the building blocks of all websites. It allows images and objects, in your web page to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It also provides resources to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and any other items.
 
A web browser is used to read HTML documents and compose them into visible or audible web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page.
