Html or Hypertext Markup Language is a set of code that is used for display only; on a web browser. However Html is not extendible, unlike SGML, XML, and XHTML which means that you cannot create new tags. SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) happens to be the so called mother to HTML, and was the set code that was used to HTML. Since the explosion of the internet in the early 90's and the use of Graphic User Interface (GUI) such as Microsoft Front Page and Macromedia Dream Weaver, many error ridden sites were created. Now days internet is available on most cell phones and Pda's, but unfortunately cell phones can only read proper coding. For proper web development, you must know how to code in XHTML and CSS. Now don't get scared because of these knew codes you must learn. XHTML is the same thing as HTML, except XHTML is more proper, which means the tags are written in small caps and all tags must have closing tags. Also you must insert another piece of code to help validate and check your code before you publish the site. CSS is a file that is used to describe the HTML/XHTML document. For instance if you wanted to make some text bold or you would tell the CSS file to describe that tag in bold. More on this later.
