HTML Coding

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a mark-up language most commonly used to build web content.  Browsers, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc. read HTML files.  They call it a mark-up language because it “marks up” the content you want to include on your web page.  HTML coding was used to create this page – to see it, right click on the page in your browser and select “view source”.  You’ll see the HTML coding that makes this page appear the way it does in your browser.

That said, HTML coding is not the only thing affecting the look and feel of web pages.  CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript are also major technologies that work in conjunction with HTML  to style and add functionality to web pages.

In a PHP Web Application, custom PHP code generates HTML pages, adding dynamic features to the web.

Naturally, we use HTML coding in all our web projects.  Flash is an alternative to HTML coding that is … well … Flashy…  but it isn’t supported on every device (iPad for example) and isn’t as search engine friendly as HTML.  There are good arguments for using Flash on some sites but typically using HTML,CSS,and JavaScript is the best option.
