Week 3

Here is a highlight what I discovered in class this week:

• Markup Languages started out to help printers with document layout, and have now developed into computer programming languages such as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
• HTML was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, and is now an industry standard open source programming language
• HTML is written in plain text editors (such as Notepad++) and also WYSIWYG applications (such as DreamWeaver or Front Page). Text editors produce cleaner html files, and we should use these during the course.
• HTML has opening tags and closing tags. A full list of HTML tags are available online (www.w3schools.com). Most tags enclose some text, but some standalonge
  
• It's important to use Relative links, so the website can be transported from the developer's PC up to the web server - - - and still work!
• HTML is intended to be used as a structure language, not as a display language. We can use CSS for style and layout (ie. to control the appearance)
