Chapter 6: Beyond HTML

Roadmap after HTML

The first step after HTML is CSS. CSS is used to style the page colors, fonts, layouts, spacing, everything that makes a website beautiful.
After CSS, comes JavaScript (JS). This adds life to your website. With JavaScript, your page can react to clicks, show alerts, handle forms, and update content without reloading.
Once you are good with HTML, CSS, and JS (this is the frontend), you move to the backend. Backend means server-side programming, databases, and handling user data.

Frontend = HTML + CSS + JavaScript = what the user sees.
Backend = server + database = what happens behind the scenes.
When you learn both, you become a Full-Stack Developer, which means you can build a complete website from scratch, both front and back.

The best way to learn web development is to keep practicing.
Don’t just read tutorials; make projects like:
- A personal portfolio website
- A simple calculator
- A to-do list app
Each project teaches you new skills and makes your concepts stronger.

You don’t have to only rely on books or courses. The internet itself is your teacher.
Open any website, right-click, and choose Inspect.
This shows you the HTML and CSS used on that page.
By exploring, you’ll see how professional developers build real-world websites.
