This web page is just aiming the beginners to learn HTML by trials. The minimum of the most commonly used html tags are described here. Here only the basic explanations are given. It starts with basic concept about the markup language. And most of the essential tags are described. For every tag an example is given in the page itself (just down the green box.). Learner can select and copy the code and paste it into a text editor. Save the file with an extension name '.html'. For example if the file name is mytitle, then save it as mytitle.html. Open the file in a web browser to view the result. Modify the code and try it.

This web page designed with the web technologies AJAX, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. Not just with the plain HTML. All these technologies have its one power and features. CSS or Cascaded Style Sheet is used to give a pleasant and attractive look to the web page with a one time effort. AJAX or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML are used to give a fast web experience. Yes it really reduces navigating time from one page to another, by eliminating downloading the whole page from the server to the client’s computer. JavaScript is used to give better user interactivity with the web page. What to do when you click a button is decided by the programming codes written in JavaScript. And finally and very essentially the server scripting language PHP is used to supply the necessary details from the server, when the user requests it. One more technology that has to be included here is the MySQL database to store all the text contents displayed here on the page. But I haven’t used it. I just stored all the details in the PHP page itself.

By experiencing this you will come to know that just the HTML is not enough to build an efficient website. I will introduce the lessons for CSS, JavaScript, PHP and AJAX very soon.
