What You Need
You don’t need any special tools to learn HTML
- You don’t need any HTML editor
- You don’t need a web server
- You don’t need a web site
Editing HTML
In this tutorial we use a plain text editor (like Notepad) to edit HTML. We believe this is the best way to learn HTML.
However, professional web developers often prefer HTML editors like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, instead of writing plain text.
Create Your Own Test Web
If you want to create a test web on your own computer, just copy the 3 files below to your computer.
(Right click on each link, and select “save target as” or “save link as”)
After you have copied the files, you can double-click on the file called “mainpage.html” and see your first web site in action.
Use Your Test Web For Learning
We suggest you experiment with everything you learn at JaffnaCampus.com by editing your web files with a text editor (like Notepad).
Note: If your test web contains HTML markup tags you have not learned, don’t panic. You will learn all about it in the next chapters.
HTM or HTML Extension?
When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension.
