LESSON 3-HTML 5

START UP
 WHAT IS HTML 5?

Basically, HTML is not a complicated programming

language as most people think, but having a good
understanding of HTML will help you to think like a
computer programmer.

HTML stands for HYPER TEXT MARK UP

LANGUAGE.
 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN OF
HYPER TEXT MARK UP
LANGUAGE?
 HYPER-in simple terms, it means “active”, something that can be all over the place.

 TEXT-this means that you can create a web page in a simple “text” file format.

 MARKUP- in order to create pages, you type in text which is then “markup” or identified
for proper rendering by your web browser.Generally, these instructions identify the elements
such as headings, paragraphs, highlighted words, quoted text etc.

 LANGUAGE- this means that are you using a language with all syntax. Syntax is a set of
grammatical rules and structural patterns that use appropriate words and symbols or for
issuing commands, writing codes etc.
 HOW DOES HTML WORK?

HTML consists of a short code called

a “tag” type into a text file. These tags are
coding instructions embedded in the
HTML document. The text is then saved
as an HTML file and viewed through a web
browser such as Internet Explorer or
Mozilla Firefox. The browser then
translates those file into visible forms.
 HOW DID HTML START?
In 1989, a man named Tim Berners-Lee proposed a hypertext
document system to be used within the CERN community. CERN is the
European Organization for Nuclear Research; its members were
scientist and physicist that were scattered around the world. Later n1990,
the system that Berners-Lee proposed was named the World Wide Web.
During that year, he also develop HTML Language. He then released the
code to the internet in 1991
 HTML VERSION
1. HTML 1.0 - it was the first release of HTML to the global internet community. Not many
people were involved in website creation at the time and the language was very limited.
2. HTML 2.0- It was released in 1995, and this time include everything in the previous
version and added new features this version started for website during January 1997 and
defined many core HTML features for the first time.
3. HTML 3.0 - This was initially a draft version that included several new capabilities and
more powerful options for web page developers to create websites. Since it was a draft
version, it was abandoned and later replaced by HTML Version 3.2. in January 1997,
Version 3.2 became official standard.
 HTML VERSION
4. HTML 4.0 – It was recommended in December 1997 by the W3C (World Wide Web
Consortium) to publish this version. HTML 4.0 provided new tags for style sheets, scripts,
frames, embedded objects more complex tables, more complex forms, and improved
accessibility features for people with disabilities. This became the official standard in April
1998.

5.HTML 5 – This is the newest version HTML. It offers new features such as elements,
attributes even handlers, and API (Application Programming Interface) for easier web
application development and more sophisticated from handling. There are also new semantic
elements for marking up pages content. HTML 5 also introduced native audio and video
playback to web pages.
