Chapter 1: Introduction to the Web – HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Thank you for picking up this book to help advance your coding knowledge. In this book, we are exploring three fundamental technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

By learning these foundational coding languages in detail, you can design, structure, and maintain websites, and thus be considered a novice Front-End Web Developer.

With technology becoming ever more noticeable in our daily lives, having this baseline knowledge is critical in becoming a well-versed I.T. professional.

So with that being said, before diving into more advanced topics, it’s essential to have a firm grasp of what each of these components does and how they interconnect.
