What is HTML?

It's Hyper Text Markup Language.

A local dentist said to me the other day..."oh, so you're just an HTML guy?" Yes, that's correct and Einstien just did arithmetic for a living.

Rather than induce sleep by explaining in text what HTML is all about, please just take the time to watch this 8 minute video, showing how to write an HTML document using Notepad...

In 1989 Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, an internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as Web technology spread.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web (W3).

While Mr Berners-Lee is seen as the inventor of the World Wide Web, one of the founding fathers of the internet itself remains Vint Cerf who helped develop TCP/IP protocols which allow computers to swap data over networks, delivering packets of data between identifiable locations on computer networks. Interestingly he now works for Google...

The giant search engine Google's mission statement is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," and has a corporate philosophy which includes statements such as, "You can make money without doing evil."

Google was co-founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University, and the company was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 7, 1998. If you haven't seen the video's relating to Google on this page I can recommend them.

To learn more about HTML you can simply search 'HTML Tutorial' in Google to find thousands of pages. Here is just one of those available free on the Internet.
