What is HTML?
The language that defines the structure and content of web pages
Why It Matters
HTML is the foundation of every website, defining what content appears and how it's organised
Real-World Example
HTML tags like <h1>, <p>, and <button> define headings, paragraphs, and buttons on a page
“Understanding terms like HTML matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
