building a web page

In media networks this week we are learnt about building web pages with css and html, looks a bit confusing with what was said at the lecture, but i will keep in touch on developments with tutorial.

Using a pie store as an example website, and observing the initial layout and links, were directed to basically open html and investigate language through a text wrangler, I should note Hypertext Markup Language and Cascade scale sheets, are a text format generated in text wrangler on the Mac and notebook on microsoft, basically the text is a interpretation for internet browsers to read, through their own language of tag’s of which wrap around text giving the appropriate code, for example a <title> tag indicates an obvious title, <font>, <br>, <Src>, (font, break and source) are also inherent of their meaning.

Html consist’s of opening and closing tags, it is easy to understand and it is direct meaning what you see is what you get, of which enables the use of content online.

XML eXtensible Markup Language is designed to be extensible, basically allowing the use of comprehensive content or more content, and user friendly both human and machine, the whole concept of html, xml and css is machine understanding what we as humans, are trying to indicate or talking about, therefore allowing clear interpretation to the browser. I should also note the process of nesting tags inside one another to give context and meaning. Css is basically language that informs the browser how styling html elements with in a website, it is proficient in design and that is all it basically is, allowing the layout of web pages is primary, tables and semantic text from left to right such as that from a book, is a concept adopted with web pages and inherent or a symbiote recognition of cascade style sheets.
