Developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML laid the groundwork for the World Wide Web. This invention marked the birth of the modern web and set the stage for the digital revolution that would follow.
During the 2000s, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) emerged as a significant addition to HTML. With CSS, developers could define styles for various HTML elements, including fonts, colors, layout, and animations, leading to more consistent and aesthetically pleasing web designs.
HTML5 revolutionized web development by introducing a plethora of new features and capabilities. It introduced semantic tags for improved document structure, and offered enhanced support for mobile devices.
The 2020s saw a significant focus on accessibility and semantic HTML within the web development community. With an increasing awareness of the importance of inclusion, efforts were made to ensure that web content was accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.
