HTML5
Whilst it seems like a single entity, HTML5 is the collective name for three separate 'languages'.
- HTML5.2
- CSS3, and
- JavaScript/ES5.
HTML - HyperText Markup Language
HTML is the language of the web.
A web page contains content to be displayed by a web browser.
Tags are enclosed within angle-brackets (< and >).
CSS - Cascading Style Sheets
CSS3 organises the presentation and formatting of web pages.
It's instructions are in the form of selectors and rules.
Rules are enclosed by braces/curly-brackets ({ and }).
JavaScript aka ECMAScript
JavaScript is more properly known as ECMAScript - the international standard of the language.
Accordingly it can be abbreviated as "JS" or as "ES", as in the current and 'new' versions: ES5 and ES6.
JavaScript enables the interactivity in web pages and web apps, through scripting reactions to events.
Summary: Introduction to HTML5
HTML5.1, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES5) are the (current) iterations of the technologies powering today's web.
