Progress
1 / 8
Understand how the web works and write basic HTML.
Read one card at a time. Focus on the main idea first, then look at the visual on the right to help it stick.
Websites are files stored and served to browsers.
Browsers request pages and display them visually.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript together build most webpages.
Static websites do not need a server or database.
This module focuses on simple offline static sites.
Remember
The web starts with files a browser can request, read, and display.
