Writing HTML is programming. Another name for writing is coding. If you have never programmed, coded, before, you will learn in this class skills need to be a good coder. Writing HTML is not like creative writing. Coding HTML is not creative. You will learn discipline. There are strict rules for coding HTML tags. Most HTML tags come in pairs ... like <body> and </body>. We would say, body and end body tags. HTML tags are always lower case ... so NOT <BODY> </BODY> and not <Body> or </Body>.
We will learn to write syntax-error-free HTML. So, there will be times when your WebPages look good when viewed by a WebBrowser, but looking good in a browser is not going to be good enough. W3C Markup Validation Service will help you insure that your HTML is syntax-error-free.
As a programmer / coder, you will be required to include comments (documentation) in your HTML. You will notice that your comments are invisible when browsing to your WebPage. Never the less, effective comments and documentation are a graded requirement of every WebPage you write for our class.
