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! 📝
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.
index.html in a text editor.Every HTML document starts with a DOCTYPE declaration, followed by an HTML tag, a head section, and a body section.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Head section goes here -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- Body section goes here -->
</body>
</html>The head section contains meta information about the document, including the title, character set, and links to external resources like CSS files.
<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.
The body section contains the main content of the web page. Let's structure our resume using HTML elements.
