HTML is the language behind the Internet. It is what makes the web tick. Most websites that you visit probably use this language. Almost all computers in the world understand it as it is among the most universal ways to create documents. It may not be equipped with the best formatting tools available, and there may be no guarantees that your webpages will look and work exactly the same way for every type of browser. However, to say it bluntly, without HTML, the internet, as we know it today, would not exist.

Of course, you can always choose to use a WYSIWYG HTML editor to build websites. However, you have to be aware of the 3 maid advantages that come with such programs:

The codes they create are not always fully compatible.

WYSIWYG or what you see is what you get editors normally use excess codes in creating a specific look on a page that only tend to slow down the loading times.

Some editors, change the HTML codes you enter manually.

Due to these glaring cons, you are better off writing your HTML codes the old-fashioned way - manually. It may be true that many programmers dont do it simply because it takes longer to write by hand because it requires you to have a bit of understanding about the language, still you can be sure that once you learn how to program using HTML, you will be able to come up with better-looking and better-functioning web pages.

The goal of this eBook is to help you learn the basics in creating programs using HTML.

What Software Do You Need?

There is no specialist software that you need to buy or install in order to create HTML codes. In fact, a lot of experienced web designers claim that the best websites they have created were written in good old trusty Notepad! Although you can use Notepad for this eBook, we recommend using FrontPage. After all, it is free and you can easily download it.

One of the main benefits of using an HTML editor is that it will make your codes easier to read by color coding them. You can easily clean up your script once you are done, and there are buttons that come with the software that you can use to insert repetitive codes.

At any rate, it doesnt matter whether you use FirstPage 200, Notepad, or any other HTML editor. This eBook will teach you the basics of the language, regardless of the editor you prefer.
