What is HTML?
HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language is a markup language that's used for creating interactive web pages. It largely consists of tags for example <p> and </p> they come in pairs, opening and closing, for example the one above is for paragraph text, as in the the main chunk of text you'll read on a web page. Web browsers read the code and then turn it into visual imagery and different styles of text, graphics and so on. Although it is possible to look at the raw code it's usually messy and visually unappealing. For my website I will mainly use HTML although for a lot of the visual department I may need CSS or Java of which I'll explain below.
What is CSS?
CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets is the file which controls the visual style side of the code, and is linked with HTML documents for the main code, CSS means that various tags can link to separate styles to create an efficient and easily manageable code rather then a mess of styles in the HTML itself. This also allows multiple pages to share the same aesthetic formatting an style. For my own site I will use CSS to create the visual side of the website and keep the code as neat as possible.
What is Java?
Java is a computer programming language used with HTML and CSS, Java like CSS is used alongside a html document and linked with it. Java is used for more advanced parts of webdesign for example a slide show or so on. You can use java within HTML documents with the <script></script> tags but if you intend to use a large amount of java scrip this will result in a messy and hard to manage code.
