Beginner's Guide to HTML: Build Your Web Development Skills (Entry 3)

As I finally get to publish this article, a lot has happened in between. Since I can't share everything in one article, I will break them into other entries.

During the training at Tiidelab, we delved into the world of HTML, a markup language responsible for the content and structure of a webpage, its accessibility to various users, and search engine optimization.

Unclebigbay has meticulously taken his time to ensure the right foundation is set by teaching us the basic structure, which consists of the head tag and body tag.

The head tag contains the part of the web page that houses the title, character encoding, links, SEO tags, and much more that optimizes the search and performance of the website when hosted.

The body tag houses the visual aspect of the web content, including heading tags, paragraph tags, divs as containers, and more. These tags are classified into two categories: block elements and inline elements. Block elements can span across an entire line, such as <div>, <section>, etc while inline elements can accommodate other tags example<i> etc.

We were encouraged to use tags that enhance accessibility for various users and facilitate easy collaboration among developers, such as the header tag for headings, the nav tag for the navigation menu, the section tag to show different parts of the content on a page, and the footer tag to show the last part of a web page, among others. Every design should always consider all users to ensure the best user experience.

In conclusion, my journey into learning HTML at Tiidelab has been both enlightening and rewarding. The foundational knowledge imparted by Unclebigbay has equipped me with a solid understanding of HTML's structure and its essential tags. This training has not only enhanced my ability to create well-structured and accessible web pages but also emphasized the importance of considering all users to ensure an optimal user experience. I look forward to sharing more insights and continuing this learning adventure in future entries.

See you in my next entry!
