                  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.

                    HTML  language  was  redesigned  by  Tim Berner  Lee  in 1989. It is a subset of Standard

                    Generalized Markup Language (SGML).

                  Key Features of HTML

                  Some of the important features of HTML are:
                       It is a platform independent language.

                       It is not case sensitive language.
                       It allows us to build tables.

                       It is a very easy and simple language.
