What is HTML?

“

- HTML is all around us. It's used on websites, in apps, in other software, any time web technology is used. HTML provides the conduit for content, words, images, video and audio, forms, interactive experiences. It's the solid foundation on which everything else is built. Humans speak human languages with millions of words and all kinds of nuance. It takes years to master a human language. Computers also speak languages. Programming languages are far more logical and consistent. The internet is a place where human language meets computer language. Websites are programmed and they're read, watched, or listened to. Content online is consumed by people and it's consumed by other computers. Artificial intelligence is all about trying to get computers to intelligently understand what the humans are up to. What if on the web, we had a way to ensure that all the computers involved understood the human communication that's there? Well, that's exactly what HTML is for. It's the way to mark up our content and to bridge the divide between the human language and the computer language. Hi, I'm Jen Simmons, and I invite you to join me for my course on LinkedIn Learning, where I'll teach you all the essentials so you can get to work using HTML fast.
