Introduction to HTML5

Now a days, every business needs a website to run their business online. Web development has gained  popularity in recent past and is   growing  more and more. So, every student who wants to get in the web development needs to learn some web languages to make attractive and highly interactive websites. HTML5 is one of the basic languages which is required to build websites. So, to learn HTML5, I will be publishing a series of post which will give a detail walkthrough of this language. So, let’s get started with some introduction and important topics of these languages.

HTML5 – Website basic structure creation language

If you eliminate all the styling and color of the text and images of the website then the thing left behind is the HTML. HTML has improved a lot in the past years and now we can almost do anything by just knowing HTML5 which is the latest version of HTML. Let's take a deep dive in it.

History (1980-2015):

In 1980, Berner Lee a physicist gave an idea of having web pages and in 1991, Berner Lee gave the first HTML name of “HTML Tag”. It  consisted of just 18 elements then , which were  reduced to 11 elements in HTML4. Now, recently HTML5 is released which has solved many problems found in previous versions.

Importance of HTML5 and how web browser renders it:

Website that we create are purely based on HTML5 and it plays an important role when it comes to Search Engine Optimization. No website is perfect if it is not SEO based. So, we should learn HTML by keeping in mind the SEO requirements. HTML basically includes some lines of code which tells the web browser how to display the data properly. If HTML is written properly then web pages are displayed nicely.

Where to start:
