Course Description
This course is your complete, in-depth guide to HTML5, the foundational language of every website. We start with the absolute basics, assuming you have zero prior experience, and systematically build up your knowledge to an expert level. You will learn not just what the tags do, but why they are important and how to use them to create well-structured, accessible, and SEO-friendly web pages.
We begin by covering the core syntax and essential tags for text, links, and images. The curriculum then dives deep into semantic markup, teaching you how to structure pages with modern HTML5 elements like <article>, <section>, and <nav>. You'll master building complex forms with a wide variety of input types and validation attributes. The course also explores powerful multimedia capabilities with the <audio> and <video> tags.
Finally, we'll introduce you to some of the advanced APIs that HTML5 provides, such as Web Storage for saving data in the browser and the Canvas API for drawing graphics. By the end, you'll be able to create any web page structure with confidence and precision.

- The fundamental structure of an HTML document.
