HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It’s the primary language that’s used to create web pages, so you’ll come to know it very well through the course of this book. We’ll be using HTML5, the latest version of the language. There are many ways that you can write HTML5 for it to be valid, ranging from lazy and—dare we say—sloppy ways, to strict and ordered. In this book, we’ll use the more formal syntax in the example website, XHTML, and avoid demonstrating the “slipshod” way of writing code. This will encourage a better approach to writing markup and code, and foster a more logical way of thinking that’s more likely to put you in better stead for future learning. The difference between HTML and XHTML is explained in the SitePoint HTML Reference.
