Week 3 Lecture

I have gathered the following information for this weeks lecture on HTML, XML and CSS...

HTML was the main focus of the lecture. It was established in the early 90s and translates to Hypertext Markup Language, Hypertext being text that links to other information and markup being the way the language is displayed and arranged for the user to understand. HTML is the most predominate language in the world wide web with a fundamental element of it being tags. A tag must open and close specific parts of the HTML.

HTML just uses text. A large amount is written by databases because it's more efficient, but it's also written in text editors.

The level of accessibility is vital in designing HTML at a professional level. It needs to be easy to understand and created to be available to view on a range of different technologies by users of all types.

XML is the Extensible Markup language meaning it is a more extensible language with any number of tags being used (outside the range of the fundamental tags that make up HTML).

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used as a set of instructions to the web browser on how to draw HTML. The HTML and CSS can be seen as the 'recipe' for a website with the browser interpreting and displaying them. CSS must be added to the website through relative links.

As for as project A goes, I am currently thinking about doing a band as the main focus.
