HTML Project - Resume Page 🎯

Welcome to this comprehensive tutorial where we'll create a professional resume page using HTML! By the end of this lesson, you'll have a solid understanding of HTML and a practical project to showcase your skills. Let's get started! 📝

What is HTML? 💡

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard language for creating web pages. It structures content on the web, allowing us to create interactive and engaging websites.

Setting Up Your Project 📝

  1. Create a new folder for your resume project and navigate into it.
  2. Open a new file named index.html in a text editor.

Basic HTML Structure 📝

Every HTML document starts with a DOCTYPE declaration, followed by an HTML tag, a head section, and a body section.

html
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <!-- Head section goes here --> </head> <body> <!-- Body section goes here --> </body> </html>

Head Section 📝

The head section contains meta information about the document, including the title, character set, and links to external resources like CSS files.

html
<head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Your Name Resume</title> </head>

Replace Your Name with your actual name.

Body Section 💡

The body section contains the main content of the web page. Let's structure our resume using HTML elements.

Header 💡

html
<header> <h1>Your Name</h1> <nav> <!-- Navigation links go here --> </nav> </header>

Main Content 💡

html
<main> <section id="contact"> <!-- Contact information goes here --> </section> <section id="skills"> <!-- List of skills goes here --> </section> <section id="education"> <!-- Education section goes here --> </section> <section id="experience"> <!-- Work experience section goes here --> </section> </main>

Footer 💡

html
<footer> <!-- Footer content goes here --> </footer>
