Now it is important to understand what to learn next so you can continue your journey toward becoming a web developer.
HTML Is the Foundation
HTML is the foundation of web development, but HTML alone cannot create modern and attractive websites.
To build real-world websites, HTML is used together with other technologies that add styling, layout, and interactivity.
Next Step: Learn CSS
CSS is used to style HTML elements. With CSS, you can control colors, fonts, spacing, layout, and responsiveness.
After learning CSS, you will be able to turn simple HTML pages into visually appealing websites.
Next Step: Learn JavaScript
JavaScript is used to add interactivity to web pages. It allows you to create dynamic content such as form validation, sliders, popups, and user interactions.
JavaScript works on top of HTML and CSS and is essential for frontend development.
