Introduction to HTML

Nowadays Internet has become an integral part of everyone’s life as it connects millions of
computers to share information and resources. Computers on the Internet are either clients
which send requests to the servers or the servers which respond immediately with the required
data.

We need software called web browser like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome to surf the
Internet. With the help of a web browser, we can open any website. Each website is a collection
of related web pages. When we open a website, it is linked to many web pages. A webpage is a
document or a page on the World Wide Web. Each web page has its unique URL.
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is a complete code package that allows the
user to create web pages that contain both text and graphics. It describes the structure and
behaviour of a web document.
