HTML — How To Make Love
HTML is a popular markup language so ignore my own HTML acronym meaning. Its short for Hypertext Markup Language and is generally referred to as the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications.
About a year ago I had no idea HTML was a pre-requisite in creating stunning content for web pages. I remember all too clearly I had just landed an internship position in a digital agency that was mostly focused on web development. In a short time, I was introduced to my one on one tutor and I started to learn the magic of HTML. If you have any idea of what a front-end web developer or programmer does, you will understand that HTML provides the basic foundation alongside CSS and JavaScript which make for an incredible trio that makes the magic work on websites. It is interwoven in such a manner that I have conceded to saying it's constantly making love to its counterpart ‘The Style Sheet’ {CSS} and ‘ The Programming Language’ [JavaScript]. My instructor was hell-bent on making me learn the basics of everything HTML from https://www.w3schools.com/ so if you are relatively new to web dev and looking to fall in love with it check it out and you will be pleased you did.
Although it was such a pain at the time to create divs and divs of absolutely little importance with a lot of eye rolling and sass on my part the constant then grueling task paid off after all. Over the period of my internship, I started to tell people that front-end development from personal experience was only something you’d come to fall in love with if your HTML was proud to strut because it passed the test of good coding practice. It is easy to think of it as being on several dates with someone and realizing on each date one more thing you have fallen in love with over the period of going on these random dates and just like that it hits you and you become certain beyond all doubts that you have actually fallen in love and learned the skills of making room for more love in the process. You may not have to go to any coding school or pay exorbitant amounts of money to learn how to cascade around HTML and its other duo; all you need is to devote a deliberate amount of time everyday day to look up and read up from the very basics. Remember learning is a process that never ends so you have to keep learning each day until you get the hang of it….
