The beginner Web programmer can now learn HTML syntax easily by using this Website to get a brief description & a link to in-depth documentation for a new, random HTML tag every time you invoke it.
Getting to know HyperText Markup Language (HTML) can be a daunting task. The tags employed in HTML are numerous & are the main components of the standard language used to create Web pages & UIs for mobile & Web apps, along with JavaScript & CSS. HTML elements are delineated by these tags, which are written using angle brackets.
For example, the tags <img /> & <input /> directly introduce Content into a Web page. Others tags, like <p>…</p> surround & provide info about document text & may include other tags as sub-elements. A browser doesn’t display HTML tags, but uses them to interpret the Content of the page.
Alin Rauta, a young Romanian programmer, has developed a Web page meant for beginners that randomly generates HTML tags with a brief description & a link to the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) documentation pages’ HTML element reference, where you get full-featured articles about each tag. Each time you press a button on the page a new tag is shown, together with the description & the MDN link. You can also get a daily random HTML tag emailed to you if you subscribe to that feature.
The Site’s programmer is self-taught & has been coding professionally for a relatively short time. He has also been writing an interesting blog, & newsletter relating the adventures & problems that he, as a typical beginning programmer/developer has run into, including a good post on his 1st year as a self-starter programmer, which ran through most of 2015, until he got his 1st paying job as a developer.
