HTML(Hypertext Markup Language): Is the language that web pages are written in, these websites can then be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. HTML consists of a series of short codes typed into a text-file by the site author — these are the tags. The text is then saved as a html file, and viewed through a browser. The tags are what separate normal text from HTML code. Different tags will perform different functions. The tags themselves don’t appear when you view your page through a browser, but their effects do. An examlpe of this would be:
<b>these words would be bold< /b> and these wont be
CSS(cascading style sheets): A way for Web developers to define the look and feel of their Web pages. It was intended to allow developers to separate content from design so that HTML could perform more of the function that it was originally based on - the markup of content, without worry about the design and layout. Style sheet refers to the document itself. They are the technical specifications for a layout, whether print or online. Print designers use style sheets to insure that their designs are printed exactly to specifications. For example if a developer wanted the text in the maincontent to be blue he would do:
#maincontent
{
color: blue;
}
