History of HTML
In the late 1980's , a physicist, Tim Berners-Lee who was a contractor at CERN,
proposed a system for CERN researchers. In 1989, he wrote a memo proposing an
internet based hypertext system.
Tim Berners-Lee is known as the father of HTML.
The first available description of HTML was a document called "HTML Tags" proposed
by Tim in late 1991.
The latest version of HTML is HTML5, which we will learn later in this tutorial.
Features of HTML
easy and simple language.
markup language, so it provides a flexible way to design web pages along with
the text.
It facilitates programmers to add a link on the web pages (by html anchor tag),
so it enhances the interest of browsing of the user.
It is platform-independent because it can be displayed on any platform like
Windows, Linux, and Macintosh, etc.
It facilitates the programmer to add Graphics, Videos, and Sound to the web
pages which makes it more attractive and interactive.
HTML is a case-insensitive language, which means we can use tags either in
lower-case or upper-case.
Types of Applications
1) Single user------ This application run on the one machine and can be used on the
same machine.
Hence Scalability (increase number of users) is the problems
2) Web application---These applications are 3 tier applications; the application is
deployed(loaded) on the web server. And can be accessed on client machine via
browser.
Web Service---Any application which runs on server, connects to the database, and
return data, either in JSON (JavaScript object Notation), XML (Extensible markup
language), text format, are called as web service.
Usually used in B2B (Business to Business ) communication.
