or How to Build a Page in One Post
With any luck, you will have found that subtitle to be quite appealing to your sense of impatience (or, perhaps more appropriately said, your sense of urgency). After all, the seemingly monolithic task of building a webpage would be excellent to have delegated to just one post. In just several hundred words, you can learn how to build a page from scratch!
Now, here comes the 'but.'
But, that webpage is going to be considerably low-quality. That's because even most poorly designed webpages required quite a bit of knowledge, coding, and debugging (rinse, lather, repeat). In the most basic languages, with a relatively small pool of different elements and attributes, there are only so many different interesting combinations available.
However, a foundation is necessary to learn anything, and this is especially true of coding. Many codes require foundational knowledge to even begin learning, and programming in general will sweep you up if you do not understand these foundations.
So we start with HTML, perhaps among the most basic of common coding languages available today. The best part about HTML, save its simplicity, is that it is everywhere. HTML makes up so much of what you see on the internet that I guarantee you wouldn't recognize anything if it were gone.
