HTML Hello World

With almost all programming languages, the first program to write is Hello World.

Hello World:

The web page starts with an opening <html> tag and ends with a closing </html> tag. Next are the <head> opening and closing lt;/head>tags. Normally the TITLE, META definitions, links to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and links to JavaScript are between the <head> tags. There are the opening <body> and closing </body> tags, and as the name implies, it is the body of the web-page. The <h1> tags are the largest HTML headings. The <p> tags are for the paragraphs. There are several more tags available in HTML, but we will focus on the basics right now.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello World</h1>
        <p>This is my first HTML web-page.</p>
    </body>
</html>
