Welcome to the first step in your web development journey! In this blog post, I’ll walk you through the key topics covered in my YouTube video, "HTML Introduction". Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to strengthen your basics, this post will guide you through the foundational concepts of HTML with practical coding examples.


In this video, I break down each topic step-by-step, ensuring you understand the concepts while coding along with me.

What is HTML?

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the backbone of every website. It structures the content on a webpage, including text, images, and links. Learning HTML is the first step in becoming a web developer.

Topics Covered in the Video

1. HTML Basics

We begin by understanding what HTML is and why it’s essential. You’ll learn how HTML acts as the building block of all web pages.

2. Boilerplate Code

Boilerplate code is the basic structure of an HTML document. I explain each part of the boilerplate code, including:

  • The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration.
  • The <html> tag that wraps the entire document.
  • The <head> section, where metadata is defined.
  • The <body> section, which contains the content visible to users.

3. Importance of index.html

Did you know that index.html is the default file name browsers look for when opening a website? I explain why it’s considered a best practice to use this file name for your main web page.

4. Adding Comments in HTML

Comments are useful for documenting your code. In this video, I show you how to write comments in HTML using <!-- comment here -->.

5. Understanding HTML Tags

Tags are the core of HTML. You’ll learn:

  • Open Tags : Tags that begin an HTML element (e.g., <p>).
  • Close Tags : Tags that end an element (e.g., </p>).
  • Self-Closing Tags : Tags that don’t need a closing tag (e.g., <img />).

6. Types of Tags According to Behavior

We classify tags based on their behavior:

Block-Level Tags: Examples include <div>, <p>, and <h1>. These tags take up the full width of the container.
Inline Tags: Examples include <span> and <a>. These tags take up only as much space as their content.

7. Common Attributes

Attributes provide additional information about an element. I explain two commonly used attributes:

  • Class Attribute (class) : Used for styling multiple elements with CSS.
  • ID Attribute (id) : Used for targeting a specific element in CSS or JavaScript.

Practical Examples

In the video, I explain each concept with hands-on examples. You’ll see how to create and structure an HTML document, add attributes to elements, and write comments.
