CHAPTER 2

Creating Your First HTML5 Web Page

Are you ready to begin creating a web page? This chapter shows you how to get started with a basic HTML5 document.

HTML5 includes a number of basic structural tags that appear in almost every page. Becoming familiar with these tags is a good first step to learning how to create your pages.

This chapter also teaches you how to save an HTML5 document in a text editor and open the document in a web browser, so you can see the results of your work.
