Let's Learn some front-end stuff.
HTML
It is what every web page is made from.
To see what a page is made of, use “View Source”.
For example...
Basic Tags<!DOCTYPE html>
(see diveintohtml5.info/semantics.html for explanation)
<HTML><HEAD>
---stuff like the title of the page and meta tags---
</HEAD><BODY>
---the contents of the page---<BODY></HTML>
<p>This is a paragraph</p><h2>This is a heading</h2>
<a href=”facebook.com”>This is a link to facebook</a>
<img src=”facebook.com/logo.gif”/> <-- That displays an image that is
stored on facebook.com<em>This is a bit of text that is
emphasized</em><i>This is a bit of text that will
be italicized...</i>But we might not want to do that...
How HTML, CSS and JavaScript work together
HTMLmarks the content up into different structural types, like paragraphs, blocks, lists, images, tables, forms, comments etc.CSStells the browser how each type of element should be displayed, which may vary for different media (like screen, print or handheld device)JavaScripttells the browser how to change the web page in response to events that happen (like clicking on something, or changing the value in a form input)

Semantic markup
Using HTML to enforce the meaning of the content of the page and not
the details of the visual display
<em> versus <i>
Browser compatibility
Cross-browser compatibility is the bane of a web developer's existence.
