[INDEX] Chapter 1 - Overview of HTML
This chapter presents an overview of HTML ( HyperText Markup Language), and its role in building web pages for the World Wide Web (internet).

In this chapter, we'll look at how the HTML document (web page source file), the browser, the ISP (Internet Service Provider) servers, and the Internet, all work together to provide the means for you to publish your web page. (After all, getting your web page before the world is the whole point). When building a web page using HTML, it is essential that you understand the dynamic relationship between all these players. However , it is NOT important that you know all the dirty details (except for your own web page, of course).

Additionally, we'll introduce the all-important HTML tag, a crucial bit of knowledge before we go off to do anything with HTML

If you already know how HTML pages are transferred, how web pages make their way around the Internet, and how to identify and edit HTML tags, you can skip this chapter
