Everything you need to go from a blank text editor to a working, useful webpage
Every website you've ever visited — no matter how complex — is built on three foundations: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Frameworks and libraries sit on top of these three; they don't replace them. This guide goes deep into each one individually, then walks through building a genuinely useful project — a personal task tracker — combining everything you've learned.
Grab a text editor (VS Code is the standard choice, free, and works on every OS) and a browser. That's the entire toolchain required for everything below.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) describes what exists on a page. It isn't a programming language — there's no logic, no calculations — just structure, expressed through tags.
