The language used for writing webpages is called HTML.

In this chapter we introduce HTML by having you build a simple webpage.
We introduce CSS by having you add a small amount of styling to your
HTML.

Exam Question 1(p.336):What does HTML stand for?
Acceptable Answer:hyper text markup language

Appendix 21 (page 221) tells how to make and see webpages “offline,” with-
out using any web hosting.

Appendix 22 (page 228) tells about the major browsers, and which ones to
use in testing your webpages.

Appendix 23 (page 230) talks about text editors, for when you are editing
right at your computer, and not by way of your web host.

We presume that you already have hosting, and that someone, maybe your
instructor, will show you how to use it.
