Recap

HTML Tutorial Summary

So you've made it to the end - Congratulations! You now have the knowledge required to hand code your own website.

Recap

We have covered off a lot in this tutorial. To recap:

  • We started with an introduction to HTML, and what it's used for.
  • We then created a basic webpage, before moving on to some of the basic tags. We learned that each tag can have different attributes, and that we can supply the value for these attributes.
  • We learned that we can create hyperlinks using the anchor tag (a) with the href attribute.
  • We embedded an image using the img tag with the src attribute, and applied several other attributes to the tag
  • We then learned about the importance of commenting our code to make site maintenance easier
  • Armed with the above knowledge, we tackled some more advanced HTML such as image maps, tables, forms, and frames.
  • We finished by learning how to extend HTML with stylesheets and scripts.
Next steps

Now is a perfect time to create and publish your own website (if you haven't done so already). Creating a basic website is very straightforward when you know HTML. I recommend that you check out this article about building a website.
