Core Technologies For Frontend Development
In order to learn frontend development, you need to learn certain technologies / programming languages and they are must to learn, without them it’s almost impossible to make your carrer in frontend devlopment.
The core technologies/ languages are :
HTML
HTML stands for Hypter Text Markup Language, it is a markup language languages which is used to design the fronend part of a website and it is the basic building block of any webiste.
You can compare HTML with a human skelton because they both have similar function, just like skelton HTML also give structure to any website.
CSS
CSS stands for Cascading Styling Sheet, CSS is simply used to design and give beautiful look to any website. Without CSS webiste will not look beautiful or resposnive.
The above image is a snippet of CSS, with the help of CSS we can design every element of our website according to us.
JavaScript
It is the programming language ( also known as scripting language) for the web and it can update, manipulate and change both HTML & CSS from a webpage.
Before knowing more about JavaScript let’s know about ECMA script.
