Why HTML is must?

Before we discuss this topic, let understand "What is HTML?".

HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language ( if a non technical person searched this he could also find this haha, not a big deal). Let's go slight deeper and understand this HTML word.

HTML is not a programming language, then what is this? This is Markup Language.

Break the words into parts: Hyper Text and Markup language.

Hyper Text - Hypertext is text which is not constrained to be linear. Hypertext is text which contains links to other texts. The term was coined by Ted Nelson around 1965 (source).

Markup Language - Markup language is a system for formatting and arranging the elements in a document using tags (for more details).

• HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. It describes the structure of a Web page. It consists of a series of elements. HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content

Now you are aware of "what is html, hypertext and markup language".

If you want to learn HTML, you can learn from some free sources like w3Schools, javaTpoint, youtube. Visit this sites and learn about HTML. You will get everything which you want to know and learn.

Now come to the topic "Why is must?".

Simple Answer: - Because it is basic elements required for creating web pages. Without HTML websites cannot be created.

Let me explain in details, As building a palace, apartments, bridges or anything you need some basic elements where you start building the things. such as without base, we cannot create the building or apartments, same, websites cannot be created without html, as simple as that.

In market of internet, there is ton of CMS available where you can create your website from drag and drop elements. But this is not good for your development career, if you want to make your career as website developer. If you open youtube, you will find a lot of videos where you will find a way to create website in 10 minutes and they promise that you will become pro in website creation and start earning money as a freelancer.

Trust me, you cannot earn like that. Because client never trust on those freelancer who know nothing about basic and create website from drag and drop elements. Client always want advanced functionality, so customer get attracted to his website, and you can't fulfil his requirements just using drag and drop elements.

The language and CMS which is used to create websites use HTML. Coding is must and you can start with HTML. It is super easy to learn. You can learn in few hours, few days or a month. It depends on your learning skills. So I would just to learn HTML first, then CSS for styling, and javascript for functionality then jump into CMS. For all these you can use free sources to learn as I mentioned about. So don't go for paid courses for these things. You don't need. Take help from some known developer who is in your surroundings or relatives, friends and start your career as a developer.

All the very best... !
