Why PHP, you might ask? Well, PHP is one of the most popular programming languages used to create websites. In fact, the vast majority of websites on the internet are powered by PHP. But to create a PHP-powered website, we need more than just PHP knowledge.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the core building blocks of any website. HTML is used to define the structure and content of a web page, while CSS is used to style and give it a beautiful look. JavaScript, on the other hand, is used to create dynamic and interactive elements on the web page.
In this chapter, we'll explore the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, so that you'll be well-equipped to create your first PHP-powered website.
Even if you've never worked with HTML, CSS, or JavaScript before, don't worry. We'll take a step-by-step approach and explain everything in detail, using examples and practical exercises to help you understand how everything works.
We'll start with HTML, which is the foundation of every website. HTML defines the structure of a web page and provides the building blocks for all other web technologies. We'll show you how to create a simple HTML web page and explain the different tags and elements you need to know to create a well-structured web page.
Next up is CSS, which is used to style and give a beautiful look to the web page. We'll explain how CSS works and show you how to use it to create visually appealing web pages. By the end of this chapter, you'll know how to add different colors, fonts, and styles to your web page.
Finally, we'll introduce you to JavaScript, which is used to create dynamic and interactive web pages. We'll show you how to use JavaScript to create animations, handle user input, and create more engaging web pages. With these basics in hand, you'll be ready to dive into the world of PHP and create amazing dynamic web pages.
