What is HTML5?
HTML5 is a type of web page language that gives your page the content that a person would see on it, such as text, images, structure, etc. Things like colors and size formatting for the text comes from CSS.
An Excerpt from my Discussion Board Post:
This link provides an introduction on the methods of how to properly utilize HTML5 and make it work properly. This shows you some of the basic tags and includes an hour-long video showing how HTML5 works. It also contains some examples and code editors within the page for beginners to practice writing basic lines of code.
This link is a bit simpler, and contains basic information on how you would use code for HTML5. There are plenty of demos you can use to test out your code ideas, and it also has a comprehensive list of tags within it that allows you to see what tags can be used by HTML5. Both sources have fundamentally similar structures, but this is a much simpler one that doesn't contain as much specific information for those who are just starting with HTML5.
To explain all of the elements I have used on this page, we have the HEADER and FOOTER elements, which add more structure to my web page. The HEADER is the top of the page, and the FOOTER is the bottom of the page. The NAV element adds a navigation bar at the top of the page like what you see above with a link to my home page and to the second part of this lab. The last element is the MAIN element, which is where all of the focus content of this page will go and where it will be displayed, and the rest of the things on the page, like headings, titles, and disclaimer information is secondary information on the outskirts of the web page as a whole.
