Why We Should Learn to Code with HTML
There are many programming languages that can be used to create software applications. Due to many applications being on the internet, a website is the main source where most applications communicate to.
If you think about it, when you log into an app on your phone or tablet, your username and passwords are stored somewhere to verify you can access the application. This location is a website.
Websites are used to connect the apps from your mobile devices to the web site computers, known as web servers. A website can have multiple different types of programming languages. But the main language for websites is HTML.
With HTML, a programmer can develop a web site with a program inside of it. This means within the HTML code, there will be an area where HTML programmers can place the code of a program.
So before learning to write an app, it is best to learn how to write a basic website with HTML code.
