Getting Started with Web Development

Web development is an exciting field that combines creativity with technical skills. Whether you're interested in building websites, web applications, or interactive experiences, this guide will help you get started on your journey.

What is Web Development?

Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites and web applications. It involves three main technologies:

HTML - Structure and content
CSS - Styling and layout
JavaScript - Interactivity and functionality

Getting Started: The Basics

1. Learn HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the foundation of web development. It provides the structure and content of web pages.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My First Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
  </body>
</html>
            

2. Master CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to style and layout web pages. Learn how to use selectors, properties, and values to make your websites look beautiful.

body {
  font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;
  background-color: #e0e5ec;
  color: #2d3748;
}

h1 {
  color: #667eea;
  text-shadow: 2px 2px 5px #b8b9be;
}
            

3. JavaScript for Interactivity

JavaScript brings your websites to life by adding interactivity. Learn the basics of variables, functions, and events.

function greet(name) {
  return "Hello, " + name + "!";
}

console.log(greet("Sumiksha"));
            

Essential Tools

Code Editor - VS Code is the industry standard.
Browser DevTools - Essential for debugging.
