This is really interesting! I have been operating with all types of devices for a long time and recognize a number of the acronyms: http, IP, and now HTML - but have never taken the time to understand what those acronyms stood for. The topic of this assignment is HTML or HyperText Markup Language which according to the tutorial is the "common" language that allows computers to communicate with each other, creating the "web". It is the fundamental structure that allows "hyperlinks" to be created and functional.
This language has developed over time, with more and more functionality and multiple version. The best thing about this is that all browsers recognized this language and it's functionality. The last version of HTML was released in 2004. The next version has been in development for a long time and has encountered a number of conflicts but there are some common features that will probably be included in HTML5 when it is released.
The second video concentrated on some of the basic syntax used to develop an HTML document. It is basic coding: They demonstrated:
- "Opening and Closing signals" like <p> & </p> (opening and closing of a paragraph.)
- "attributes" which when writing follow a formula of: name function value.
- "Tags" - the ability to "nest" which works like a nest if statement within an excel function.
There is some assistance "coding hints" that is available to assist with this process called a code editor.
I have imbedded the two youtube video's which provided the above information should you wish to get more detail.
