The coding language that adds structure to a web page is called HTML. HTML stands for (HyperTextMarkupLanguage). This coding language consists of different elements that are applied to text to give them a new meaning in a document, structure a document, or embed content onto a page. So to compare, Java is an event-based coding language, that helps with adding new content to a web page, where as the HTML coding language creates the actual structure of the web page. To give you an example of HTML and when it is used, im sure during your tenure in school you have searched databases for a research project. When you see the breakdown of the title at the top, it was written in HTML as…
<title>Href Comments for 7a</title>
If you did a research project to look up my comments for this section, and that was the title, that would be how it was written in HTML! On top of that you can also write in links to other websites, and other important information that should be displayed on the webpage!
I think that these two put together can create a really good web page. Although HTML is used everywhere, some people or companies prefer to use other languages.
Hey Robert! The example you used to tie both the concept and blog post together was super smart on your part, and helped me understand the concept so much more. Whenever I get an example that can tie concepts to every day life it always helps me understand and retain the information so much better!
