HTML is the most basic programming language of the internet. It’s the programming language that many computer nerds use to create websites and pages just like this exact page you are reading on your computer.
The Internet Browser works as a converter and changes HTML code into graphics and text. If you ever want to see the HTML code of a page just simply go to View > Page Source if you are using Mozilla Firefox.
What is HTML?
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is a very simple programming language and is pretty much common sense. The tags are self explanatory compared to any other programming language. This means Learning HTML is only the beginning and there is much more to come if you plan on being real good at creating websites. It does get way more advanced when creating a website for many users such as facebook, ebay, myspace, etc.
How long does it take to learn HTML?
Like I’ve already mentioned HTML is very easy to learn almost self explantory. I would say that it will take about One Day to understand HTML. Play with it for One Week and you should be good with HTML by then. It’s very simple to understand and write.
Where can I learn HTML?
There are many places to learn HTML, I would highly suggest going to google and searching their for the best places. I have not written my own HTML guide but I will shortly. It will be a beginner’s know nothing guide to HTML guru status. I will tell you the history and when it started and what it is now, etc. It’s really not that difficult and one of the easiest parts of the internet. Checkout the google link below to read more since I don’t have my guide up just yet.

I’d say that having some basic HTML knowledge is essential to any webmaster, even with easy to operate CMS systems such as WordPress you won’t get anywhere without knowing basic img and linking tags!
