                  Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients and communicate with
                  each other through networking protocol. The clients send requests to the servers and the servers
                  respond immediately with the required data.
                  The server stores the files and information 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 of a website 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.


                   i +  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, e.g., Mac, Windows, etc. The latest version of HTML is HTML5 which was
                  released in 2008.

                      HTML language was redesigned by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. It is a subset of Standard
                      Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
