If you are looking to start learning the very basics of web development this guide is for you.
To begin with we will start with an explanation of the very basic aspects.
XHTML and HTML
The structural language of a web page are normally XHTML and HTML, XHTML is more preffered these days due to its semantic value but HTML can still be used. Personally I only use XHTML which is similar but does have a few differences, in the long run its much better to begin with XHTML as it teaches you some very good practices.
Commonly used example Tags:
HTML Code:
<img src="" alt="" />
HTML Code:
<blockquote></blockquote>
CSS
CSS which is short for Cascading Style Sheets are what seperates design from structure, the XHTML is the structure and the CSS is what makes it look great along with images.
CSS is attached to the XHTML document using some code and the web browser reads both documents.
CSS Examples:
HTML Code:
.myclass {font-size:14px;}
(any div with a class of myclass with be styled with a size 14px font)
HTML Code:
#myid {font-size:14px;}
(any div with an ID of myid with be styled with a size 14px font)
Part One
HTML/XHTML documents can end with either .html or .htm file extension and can be read by your browser.
To create a web page all you need is a text editor, notepad works, notepad++ is better though and that is all you need. You do not need any expensive programs at all to learn and become great at this.
All XHTML webpages should begin with the DOCTYPE declaration, here is an example:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
A lot of tags need to be closed but some do not. Some tags you MUST close are:
HTML Code:
<div></div>
<p></p>
<span></span>
<h1></h1>
<h2></h2>
These are some tags that do not need to be closed:
HTML Code:
<img src="" alt="" />
<br />
Please notice the space before the /> on the above two tags, this is what closes it for you, rather than having a whole end tag.
All of your coding in XHTML will be encased inside tags, for example, if I wanted to display the following sentence in the browser, I would need to use:
Welcome to Ultimate Teen Forums!
HTML Code:
<p>Welcome to Ultimate Teen Forums!</p>
Notice how I end the sentence with </p> and start with the opening tag <p>. You need to get into practice of opening and closing your tags and also opening and closing them in the correct order.
This example is BAD coding and will not validate:
HTML Code:
<div class="bigtext"><span class="greentext">Hello UTF!</div></span>
Notice how I closed the <span> tag after the </div>, that is my mistake, instead it should be closed in order of opening:
HTML Code:
<div class="bigtext"><span class="greentext">Hello UTF!</span></div>
They are now in order of being opened.
After the DOCTYPE comes the opening HTML tag. This is an example HTML tag with the language attribute, you neednt worry about the xmlns attribute just yet, in fact I dont think you will ever need to pay any attention to it, just make it is there:
HTML Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The above will open the XHTML document and comes right after the DOCTYPE, and no I am not shouting, it is how it is written
Next comes the head section, all of your links to CSS files, javascripts and more will reside inside this section as well as any meta data such as keywords, descriptions and the likes for each page.
It begins with <head> and can you guess what it ends with? Yes, youre correct, </head>.
Here is a whole head section from one of our websites:
HTML Code:
<head>
<title>Forum & Message Boards Directory </title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" href="/animated_favicon1.gif" type="image/gif" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/templates/Professional/style/new.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/templates/Professional/style/css3.css" />
<meta name="keywords" content="forum directory, message boards, forum boards directory, forum resources" />
<meta name="description" content="A free & regularly updated directory of the best quality forums and message boards on the internet. A quality forum only directory and administrators resource with forum software information, graphics, avatars and more." />
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="MMHwBH_M--kRpr6LyeRJJvIOXRUREjW1ismvp2yw0Yc" />
<!--
<script type="text/javascript" src="/libs/moodalbox/js/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/libs/moodalbox/js/moodalbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/libs/moodalbox/css/moodalbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
-->
</head>
Notice how there isnt any tags I described earlier such as <div></div>, <p></p> etc? This is because those tags are strictly not allowed in the <head> section. And now we proceed to the body
<body>
</body>
Within the body section you will find all of the pages structural tags, <div></div>, <p></p>, <span></span> and much more of them.
All structural tags are able to be styled with CSS, copy and paste the following code into a blank notepad document, save as index.html and you will see what the homepage of UTF looks like without any CSS styling:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>
<!-- no cache headers -->
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<!-- end no cache headers -->
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.ultimateteenforums.com/" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 3.8.5" />
<meta name="keywords" content="teen forum, teen forums, teen help, teen advice, dating, relationships, puberty, sexuality, teen health, advice, depression, teen pregnancy, teenager, support, eating disorders, self harm, suicide" />
<meta name="description" content="Teen Forum - teens can seek advice on dating, relationships, sexuality, family and friends and more as well as make new friends, chat and have fun within our teen community." />

You will see the true power of CSS here if you do the above, well the lack of power the page has without it, without CSS most websites look a mess
Now open yourself up notepad or even better, download this, install it and open a new blank document:
Download | 5.7
It is a free powerful text editor that many web developers/designers couldnt live without.
Now either copy and paste the following, or hand type it yourself, hand typing will get you used to it however.
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
Type your code here.
</body>
</html>
Once done we need to add something to it so that something will show, we will use the <p> tag here for a basic demonstration.
Type:
<p>Hello World!</p>
Where I wrote type your code here.
Save the document as index.html and then open it with Firefox or your preferred browser.
You will see Hello World! at the top left of the screen, not exactly pretty though is it? Now its time for some CSS, although this will make it look different and a little better, it will not look that appealing to you but as you learn you will also learn how to be creative and make things beautiful yourself.
Within the <head> section after the title add this:
<style type="text/css">
.redtext { font-size:18px; color:#f00; font-weight:bold; font-family: Verdana, "Trebuchet Ms", "sans-serif";}
</style>
Edit the body section and wrap this around the <p> tags,
<div class="redtext">
If you have read all of this guide so far you should remember that you need to close the tag, add </div> after the </p>, this will close the div tag.
Save and reopen in your browser, you should now see a big, bold and bright red Hello World!
This is the very basics and I hope it has got you interested in learning some more, if enough people enjoy this I will be continuing with Part 2 soon. If you have questions dont hesitate to ask and I will do my best to help, please ask away if you found anything unclear, no question is too silly.
