Summary

In this chapter we discussed the advent and history of the World Wide Web. Next we discussed Web Development in general with a few examples. In order to become a developer of Web Applications, you will have to master at least four languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a server-side language such as PHP.

Depending on how you plan to organize your data, there may be a need to learn a fifth language (SQL) as well. There will also be more things to learn, such as how to use a library or framework. The good news is that they all have their role in the overall picture of what a Web Application is all about.

Now that we know what we need to learn, let us go do it! We will start with HTML.
