Before starting this lecture let’s look at how and where to work in HTML.

Let’s see what’s common practice:

1. Create a folder on your desktop (or wherever you prefer)...
2. Name the folder (I called it Test in my example below)
3. Open the folder
4. Create three new folders that we will use in the future (one for your images, one for storing your CSS style sheet, and one to store your JS files)
5. Open Atom, or any other text editor you like, and create a new file.
6. Save it in your Test folder as your index.html

What is HTML?

It stands for HyperText Markup Language.

HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages.

Just FYI, there have been many versions of HTML:

• 1989 Tim Berners-Lee invented www
• 1991 Tim Berners-Lee invented HTML
• Nowadays HTML5.
