Learning HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is like embarking on a fascinating journey into the world of web development. In the first two weeks of my HTML learning adventure, I've gained invaluable insights and acquired essential knowledge that has set a strong foundation for my understanding of web development. These initial weeks have been both exciting and enlightening as I've delved into the fundamental concepts of HTML and explored its practical applications. In this essay, I will reflect on what I've learned during my HTML journey in Week 1 and Week 2.

Week 1

Every HTML has a structure (the fundamental of every page)they include <Doctype HTML>, <head> and <body>.
Elements and tags: Every HTML element is created using tags(<>).
Attributes: These are the additional information about the element eg <p align="center">some text</p>. Attributes modify element. More examples are the href, alt and so on . Multiple attributes are separated by spaces.

Week 2

We began CSS(cascading style sheets). Now picture your house, there was a structure and paint to make that structure beautiful. That's how CSS is, it's helps beautify, modify and define layout.

Class selector and Id: This two are almost similar in nature (though class is preferred). Here how it works, if you have a bag and you want to open a zip that contains your pen you go there. Same how web development is. Not every style belongs to the page so you have the ability to target the one you want. Eg: .intro { color: red;

background-color: yellow;

}
Styling: This is where the art work is done. The coloring, text transformation and the rest are all done here and they have numerous element that take charge of this.
Syntax: This is tricky because you can write a code of about a thousands line and it won't work not because you didn't get but you forget to wrap your element with ";" frustrating right? Yh, but this is the place that separates you from a layman. Avoiding syntax error.

I am grateful for the opportunity given to me and I promise to use it wisely not just for my benefits but those around me. And looking forward to more information TaG has to offer. That would be all for today. It's goodbye from your friendly neighborhood fatboy.
