HTML - Getting Started

Getting Started

The three (3) major things you need to set up in order to follow up in this tutorial are:

  • Computer System - Any laptop or desktop with Windows OS 7, 8, 9, 10. Device Specs: 4.0GB RAM, 1.5GHz and 64-bit OS (Recommended)
  • Code Editor - Notepad, Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, Sublime, etc. I recommend Notepad or Notepad++ if you are a complete beginner.
  • Browser - Chrome, Explorer, Safari etc. (Any one you like)

STEP 1 (Create An HTML File)

In your laptop or desktop, search for Notepad and open it. Click on the File tab, then click on Save As. Use .html as the suffix. You can type any name you want as the prefix. Mine is index.html

NOTE:

Save as Type should be set to All files (*.*) For future reference, you can also use .htm for the suffix. Its still the same thing. But let's stick to .html


STEP 2 (Write A Simple HTML)

You can copy the HTML below. Paste it on your notepad; then save (Ctrl + S).
