Understanding the difference between HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Here, we shall cover these three aspects in a very general approach to ensure a simple and easy comprehension of these topics so that all that come across this post can get a better and not so technical understanding of this three topics covered.

Before we start, know that this three are related to the web and its development. There are many languages, etc but this three generally are the basics which are widely used and is common.

HTML

HTML which stands for Hypertext Mark-up Language and is a system language.

HTML basically is your foundation for your website. It is the structure given to it and is quite straight forward with its tags and format making it simple and easy yet fun to use which is a must if you creating a website as without HTML utilized into your electronic page, it is as if a man walking with no skeleton within him so that should give you an idea of how crucial HTML is but also at the same time, very easy to implement.

At first, perhaps it may strike you as baffling but once you grasp this concept, you shall surely gain this skill fast and understand it much better and with ease.

CSS

Now that we have HTML down and understand that it is basically the structure of your website, so how and does CSS come in what does it do? What is CSS?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet.

Here is where your artistry or creative side comes into play as it is what it is called. It gives style to your website. Do you want to add color or organize it in a way that suits you? Now let's use the person as an example and imagine a skeleton. Now we don’t just want a skeleton, you want to give this person some muscle or fat, skin, skin color, hair color, big nose, small nose, I’m sure by now, you get the picture. All this is done using CSS to add style to your HTML page.

CSS can be really fun and exciting to use as you can be as creative as you wish to be modifying your electronic page to suit your requirements and making it as appealing to the eye as possible.

JavaScript

JavaScript is known as an object-orientated programming language that is used on website or electronic pages to create interactive effects or bring function to a website.

JavaScript for me is where all the magic happens as it is where you give life to your creation or so to say. If we go about this using the person as an example to illustrate the idea. Well, we got the skeleton just as HTML and the features and style just as CSS so in order to make this person move or undertake a certain task, we need JavaScript and all the functions are undergone using this programming language.

All the aspects work hand in hand to have a fully functional website with whole three parts put together to ensure a good electronic page.

I do hope that this has shed a bit more light on this concepts if you have little or no understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and understanding how they all play an amazing part in the creation that you may be undergoing or wish to now that you have a clearer comprehension of this.
