24.9
which is a language that we can use to describe the structure of the web page,
224.84
3.48
all of the buttons and the text and the forms and other parts of the web page
228.32
3.9
that the user ultimately sees and interacts with.
232.22
3.51
Our very first HTML page is going to look a little something like this.
235.73
3.51
It's going to be text-based code that we write that a web browser, like Safari
239.24
3.87
or Chrome or Firefox, is then able to look at, parse, understand,
243.11
4.11
and display to the user.
247.22
2.11
So let's take a look at this page one line at a time
249.33
2.24
and get an understanding for how it works.
251.57
2.1
Even if you don't quite understand all the nuances of the syntax,
253.67
2.94
there are probably a couple of things that stand out to you.
256.61
2.58
You might notice the word title, which probably
259.19
2.16
reflects the title of the web page, for example, which in this case
261.35
3.3
appears to be the word hello.
264.65
1.89
And then down further below, we see that we have the body of the web page
266.54
3.57
that seems to contain the words hello world.
270.11
2.95
So what is this web page actually going to look like?
273.06
2.39
Well, let's take a look at it.
275.45
2.11
We'll go ahead and open up a text editor.
277.56
1.85
You can use any text editor you want.
279.41
1.73
But for this course, I'm going to use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code.
281.14
3.46
And I'm going to open up a new file that I'm just going to call hello.html.
284.6
6.09
Inside of hello.html I'm going to write the same HTML that we just
290.69
4.02
saw a moment ago.
294.71
0.9
And we'll explain each of these lines in due time.
295.61
2.73
But recall that we had a title of the page that said something like hello
298.34
5.7
and then a body of the page where we said something like hello world,
304.04
4.02
for example.
308.06
1.51
So this is our very first HTML page.
309.57
2.59
And if I go ahead and open that HTML page as my opening hello.html HTML,
312.16
4.21
for example, inside of a web browser, what I'll see is something like this.
316.37
4.62
In the body of the page, I see the words hello world.
320.99
3.34
And if you notice up here at the top of my web browser,
324.33
2.69
I see the title bar, where I have the title for this page, which in this case
327.02
4.17
is just the word hello.
331.19
1.92
So this is our very first web program that we've
333.11
2.91
been able to develop just using HTML.
336.02
2.25
And now let's explore in more detail how exactly this program works.
338.27
4.59
So here again was the web page that we were just looking at.
342.86
3.15
And this very first line here, DOCTYPE html
346.01
3.42
is what we might call a DOCTYPE declaration.
349.43
2.91
It's a way of telling the web browser what version of HTML
352.34
3.57
we're using in this particular web page, because depending
355.91
3.09
on the version of HTML, the web browser might
359
2.2
want to display different information or it might need to parse
361.2
2.63
the page a little bit differently.
363.83
1.83
Each version of HTML has had a slightly different way
365.66
2.76
of indicating that version.
368.42
1.47
But this line here, DOCTYPE html is our way
369.89
3.15
of saying that this HTML page is written using
373.04
2.85
HTML5, the latest version of HTML.
375.89
3.87
After that our HTML page is structured as a series of nested HTML elements,
379.76
6.15
where an HTML element describes something on the page.
385.91
3.46
And we might have elements that are inside of other elements.
389.37
3.71
Each of those elements is indicated by what
393.08
2.22
we're going to call an HTML tag, enclosed using those angled brackets.
395.3
4.23
And right here, we'll see the beginning of the HTML tag, which
399.53
3.81
means that this is the beginning of the HTML content of our page.
403.34
4.32
Down below this slash HTML means that this
407.66
3.51
is the end of the HTML content of the page.
411.17
2.88
And in between is the actual HTML content of the page,
414.05
3.52
which might include other HTML elements.
417.57
3.36
You might also notice that in this HTML tag
420.93
2.67
we've specified what we're going to call an HTML attribute,
423.6
3.39
some additional information that we're giving about this tag.
426.99
3.45
In particular, we're giving it a lang, or language, attribute,
430.44
3.81
which is equal to en, or English.
434.25
3.3
This just tells the web browser or anyone looking at the HTML of this page
437.55
3.87
that this page is written in a language, and the language it's written in
441.42
3.1
is English.
444.52
1.07
And this is helpful for search engines, for example.
445.59
2.22
When they're looking through many different web pages trying
447.81
2.19
to figure out what language each web page is in we
450
2.22
can just tell the search engine or anyone else who's looking at the page
452.22
3.15
that this page is written in English.
455.37
3.19
Now, inside of the HTML body of the page,
458.56
2.56
we have a number of different elements that
461.12
1.91
are going to describe what we want on this page,
463.03
2.82
starting with the head section of the web page, which describes stuff
465.85
3.99
not in the main body of the web page, the part of the web page
469.84
2.61
the user sees, but other information about the web
472.45
2.88
page that's going to be helpful or useful for web browsers to know about.
475.33
3.79
For example, one important thing that a web browser needs to know
479.12
2.9
is, what is the title of the web page?
482.02
3.03
And here, we see a title tag, again, indicated by the word title
485.05
3.81
in those angled brackets, followed by the end of the title tag,
488.86
3.6
indicated by a slash before the title.
492.46
2.67
And in between the two title tags is the word hello,
495.13
3.15
which means the title of this page should be the word hello.
498.28
3.74
And that's all the information we'll have in the head of the page.
502.02
2.91
We'll add more information there later, but for now
504.93
2.12
all the web page needs to know is that it has a title
507.05
2.86
and the title is the word hello.
509.91
2.53
Next up comes the body of the page, again, indicated by a body tag
512.44
3.99
and that ends with a tag with slash body,
516.43
2.61
meaning this is the end of the body of the page.
519.04
2.43
And the body of the page, again, is just the visible part of the page
521.47
2.91
that the user can see.
524.38
1.56
And what do we want inside the body of the page?
525.94
2.43
For now, we just want the text, hello world.
528.37
2.47
