Welcome to Multimedia and Webpage Design

Introduction

Multimedia and Webpage Design may seem boring, but when you get the hang of it, it's pretty cool. So far we have learned How Webpages Work, the HTML Structure and Syntax, CSS and Color, and (X)HTML tags. Among these things, HTML is one of the most important concepts that you need to know. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. This is described as the instructions for displaying content. 

You also will need to learn how to code. Everything we have learned so far is the basis for coding. We have created our first webpage in which we used a lot of the different styles of coding that we have learned. A webpage is a document which can display text, graphics, audio, video and other elements through a web browser.
