In this tutorial, you will learn the basic concepts and techniques needed to create your own Web pages using HTML (HyperText Markup Language). You will learn the process for creating HTML pages and viewing them using a Web browser, as well as a number of essential HTML features.

For example, you will learn how to:

format text on your Web pages to appear in bold, italics, superscript, and subscript styles
make text appear in different sizes and colors
organize text into several different kinds of lists (like this one, for example)
create links in your Web pages to other pages -- your own and pages on other Web sites
put links in your pages to play/view external resources like sound and video files.
change the background color for your pages or use images to tile the page background
include images in your pages and organize them with associated text in several different ways
use images as links to other pages and external resources.
use tables to gain some control over the appearance of pages and page elements
create frame-based pages which allow more than one document or page element to be presented concurrently on the users screen
create client-side image maps that employ "hot spots" on images as links to other pages, anchors, or external resources
