How To Learn HTML In 5 Minutes!

Dear, I believe you should not get yourself interested in this post if you don't know what HTML is all about. But wait! - You're lucky am here to tell you (only) the meaning. HTML stands for:HyperText MarkupLanguage, it is the standard format for a webpage, and what again? - It is very easy to learn!



Let's start: Learning HTML in 5 minutes also means: Learning How To Learn HTML in 2.5 minutes! We have to make things snappy because I still have lot more tips to share (even today). The basic thing you should know about HTML is the HTML tags. Since HTML is the standard format for a webpage, it is used to create the structure. Like you visited Facebook and you saw a blue rectangular box, which holds the Facebook logo, the search field and some other useful things. That rectangle might not be made if not for the help of HTML (thanks to it). By now, I believe you should know HTML is realistically the concrete in which you use in making your beautiful buildings.


HERE WE GO: If you are really thriving to learn HTML in less time, here are some 10 tips to journey you along. 

1. KNOW THAT HTML IS SIMPLE 
HTML is probably the simplest language on earth. It doesn't require any programming experience. 

2. HTML codes usually look awkard (<>). Yes am right! HTML is an idea ofContent, itskeywords are written in angle brackets (<>). Don't worry, you'll get well familiar with keywords from next steps. 

3. HTML COMES IN PAIRS 
Another tip to know about HTML is that it comes in two's. The opening/start tag and the closing/end tag. The contents to be formatted must be in between these tags. Don't get confused, there is no different between the opening tag and the closing tag, just that the closing one should be preceded with a forward slash (/) before thekeyword. 

Example: 
This text is expected to be big. 

4. GET YOUR FAVORITE HTML EDITOR 
HTML editor is the tool used to write HTML codes. It can be any text editor since HTML is text-based. For now you are advised to use either a Windows Notepad or Mac TextEdit. 

5. STUDY AND MEMORIZE THE BASIC HTML STRUCTURE 
There is a standard way to start writing HTML codes. This standard is provided by the W3C (the international body that governs the web), as a prominent web developer (or simply HTML coder), you must be able to write this basic code by-your-heart. 

The code: 




 

HTML is simple and easy to learn!   

That's too simple you think! It takes less memory than learning how to cook a rice. 

6. A keyword is the specific word you use to format your contents. Each keyword performs different actions, depending on how you want your contents to appear. These contents may be: texts, audios, videos, images and so on... 

Examples of HTML keywords:

, , , ,

7. WHAT IS AN ELEMENT? 
Please! This is not a chemistry class. But we also have what's calledelements in HTML. 
Definition: "Element is everything from the opening tag to closing tag". So that means this is an element: 

This is an element

8. GET FAMILIAR WITH HTML ATTRIBUTES 
In one word: 'Attribute gives more information about an element.' Here is an instance: Somebody tells you this morning: "Someone knocks at the door yesterday." - What first comes to your mind is: Who is that person?. Now to help you more: "Alady knocks at the door yesterday." - These give you more information about who really bang your door yesterday (a lady). Now to make it more informative: "Jade knocks at your door yesterday." - This make you clearly understand who knocked at your door. This is an instance of how attributes work, it gives additional description of an HTML element. An attribute is also written in pairs, attribute name="attribute value". 

"We will talk more about attributes in the next lesson." 

9. LEARN TO BUILD FROM EXPERTS 
It is highly good and recommended to build on your own, in fact that is what I ride on myself. However, it is even better to learn from other ideas and imaginations. 

Visit other websites built by experts and learn from them. DON'T COPY SOURCE CODES. Build from scratch, but learn from others creativity. 

10. LEARN FROM RELIABLE SOURCES 
We have lots of websites out there that offers free HTML tutorials. But only few are reliable. 
1. SIIT Global is a very trusted source I have also used myself. It gives you free IT Training (including HTML and all others) and gets you certified for just $9, so cheap! 
2. w3schools is also among the trusted and reliable source to learn HTML for FREE.
