Welcome to the world of XHTML – Extensible Hypertext Markup Language – a markup language (similar to programming) that allows anyone to construct web pages with many different functions. In many ways, it’s the primary language of the Internet.
So, why do we care?
Well, haven’t you ever wanted to have your own website? Or make your own game? The role of this guide is to give you a taste of this powerful world. If you have any previous programming experience then you will find this easier, of course, than if you are just starting your programming adventure. Either way, I hope to explain this so even a novice can understand.
We care about xHTML because it is a strong starting point to learning the basic building blocks of the web. Social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter use another (server-side) programming language called PHP, but it’s a good idea to understand the basics before you dive headfirst into the programming world. This guide is about the basics.
