What is HTML? HTML is the skeleton of every web page you see. It's the foundation of web programming, and once you have mastered it, you will be able to create a full read-only website. Learn how to add full screen backgrounds, images and links, formatted text and more. With CSS, test the limits of your creativity to customize the design of your website. Add bold colors, change the layout of your page, and create your dream website. If there's time, we will dive into the Bootstrap library and use pre-built visual elements to bring your website to a new level.
