HTML Background0:53
What is HTML?

HTML means HyperText Markup Language. It is the behind the scenes language that let’s us see stuff online.

Every webpage you look at is written in HTML.

You can think of it as the skeleton that gives every webpage structure.

What is HTML5?

Simply put, it’s the 5^th version of HTML.

Since the original launch of HTML was invented with the web over 20 years ago, it’s been through some updates, so this is simply the 5 ^th installment of HTML.

HTML5 has new elements for presenting audio and video on web pages and allows for you to do some pretty cool stuff that I will show you towards the end of this course.
