Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It defines the content and structure of web content. It allows the creation and structure of sections, paragraphs, and links using HTML elements (the building blocks of a web page) such as tags and attributes.
What is the role of HTML in frontend development?
- Front-end development refers to the process of creating the parts of a website or application that users see and interact with directly. Front-end developers use a combination of programming languages, tools, and technologies to build user interfaces and user experiences, namely HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- HTML is used to structure the content and create the basic building blocks of a webpage.
- CSS styles the visual presentation of HTML content, including colours, fonts, layouts, and responsive design for different screen sizes.
- JavaScript is used to add interactivity, dynamic behaviour, and client-side functionality to web pages, such as form validation, animations, and real-time updates.
