Hypher Text Mark up Language. a tool to create web pages or web sites. every pages you click on the internet is a web page. html document has an extension of .html or htm (myWebsite.html). Once you done creating all html documents it equal to a website. and then you upload it to the internet so people can go into your website.
there are tools to create html easier. when writing html all you do is type the html code. for example to make hello word bold and center to the page you have to type like this "
hello". and then you have to save it and compile and thats the time you see the output of your project. but to make it easier use dreamweaver or frontpage. this work in reverse i say, you just drag and drop and while your designing it that is what exactly the outcome of your project. you dont have to type the code to make it bold or center, you just higlight the word and press a button to make it bold just like ms word. it generates the code automatically.
there is a lot of language to create web pages. there is DHTML stands for Dynamic html. this one has more feature like you can change the font inside a website and it saves it.
there is also called asp.net, this is more secure than html or dhtml. like a Bank needs a website they must right in asp language for security.
and also Perl. now i just start studyng perl i can not tell you anything but Perl is a freeware. you can download it for free update it whatever. but it requires programming knowledge to use it ok
