HTML, CSS, and JavaScript


What is HTML, what is CSS, and what is JavaScript?

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the basic languages or in another ward, technologies use to create, build websites.
HTML which stand for HyperText Markup Language is used to create the foundation, structure, and content of a webpage.
CSS, which stand for Cascading Style Sheets are used to stylish a webpage which has built using HTML.
JavaScript is a basic programming language that runs in web browsers. Because of that JavaScript uses to create functional features of webpages.
If describe further HTML is the most basic language of web designing and only knowing the HTML you can create a complete website. But when you need to add more content, different features, and elegant appearance to a webpage or website it become more complex and time consuming only with HTML. Using CSS it allow but not limited to add more content, different features, and elegant appearance easily with more manageable way. But without HTML, CSS is worthless. JavaScript is a programming language but HTML and CSS are not programming languages. HTML is a markup language and CSS is a style sheet language or a design language. JavaScript is the basic programming language of World Wide Web (WWW) but not limited to WWW and it is the only programming language which supports by web browsers. JavaScript facilitate to create and control dynamic website content, simply JavaScript use to make websites live.
In another way if we compare a building a house with a bed room, kitchen, bathroom, and a living room, HTML is foundation, walls, floor, and roof. With HTML you can also add wall plastering, painting, ceiling, floor tiling or carpeting and few more bed rooms to your house but it will more complex, time consuming, and difficult to manage. CSS use to get done above stylizing easily and addition to that CSS can use to add furniture, wall paintings, flower plants, etc. also CSS use to create doors and windows but won’t open or lockable, can fix lights and fans but won’t function. Then JavaScript makes doors and windows functional, provide electricity to house hold items and water supply to operate kitchen and bathroom.

Each and every code has explained with one or more examples which has given with an online code editor which learners to allow implement, modify, and test the codes before to use.
