Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients and communicate
with each other through networking protocols. The clients send requests to the servers and the
servers respond immediately with the required data.
Server stores the data in the form of websites. A website is a collection of web pages. A web page
is a document that contains text, graphics, videos, audios and links to other pages. Every web
page has a unique address called Uniform Resource Locator (URL). We can use this URL to access
any web page from anywhere in the world. Have you ever wondered how these web pages are
created? HTML is the most widely used language to design web pages.
INTRODUCING HTML
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is a markup language that describes the structure
of the web page. It allows us to create web pages that contain paragraphs, headings, links and
block quotes. The output of HTML web pages is same on any type of computer and on any
operating system, i.e., Mac, Windows, etc.
