When you view a page in your browser (as you are doing at the moment) - what you are seeing is a simple text file which your browser reads, and then "translates" into pretty pictures, buttons, coloured text and so on.

The actual text for this page looks something like this:

html code 

Creating HTML like this is extremely difficult - so we use custom-designed editors which do all the hard work for us.  All we have to do is to place the elements on the page, and allow the editor to create all the HTML behind the scenes.

However, it is extremely useful to be able to write simple HTML, and this is what this course aims to do - to teach you to write web pages using only Notepad.
