HTML and Compatibility

Unlike word processors, the HTML language was not created to control the appearance of documents.

Different browsers interpret HTML in different ways. If you intend to create websites professionally, ideally you should install several browser options on your computer (Web Browsers), so you can anticipate how your web pages will look, at least in the most commonly used browsers. Another concern would be the end user’s monitor resolution.

On April 21, 1993, Marc Andreessen, a computing student, perhaps unintentionally kick-started the popularization of the internet by creating a browser called Mosaic 1.0. Tim Berners-Le, the inventor of the World Wide Web, popularly known as www, had already developed a browser, but Mosaic was the first to work in a fully graphical way.

Following the success of Mosaic, Andreessen founded Netscape in 1994. By distributing an improved version of Mosaic, named Netscape Navigator, the company came to dominate the browser market.

An HTML (HyperText Markup Language) document is a set of instructions in ASCII format used to create hypertext documents that can be viewed in a WWW Web Browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, etc).

To create an HTML page you only need a text editor that lets you save files in “ASCII with line breaks” format, such as “Notepad” or_ “Sublime Text 2″ _on Windows.

To view the HTML document, simply open it in your favorite browser.

The Internet was born in 1969, in the United States. It originally connected research laboratories and was called ARPAnet (Advanced Research Projects Agency). It was a network of the United States Department of Defense.

The Cold War was taking place at that time, and the scientists aimed to create a network that would remain standing in the event of a bombing.

The main concept of the internet emerged: “A network in which all points are equivalent and there is no central command. Thus, if B stops working, A and C keep communicating”.
