HTML and CSS Basics

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is a computer language for describing web pages.   HTML documents have file names that end in “.html”, or occasionally “.htm”.    In this class you’ll use a text editor, like Atom, to make HTML pages.   You can learn more about HTML here.

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, add style to a website.  These sheets use a completely different language to describe how websites should look.  Layout, colors, fonts and more are described by style sheets.
