frontend development fundamentals

Frontend development fundamentals primarily revolve around three core technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the backbone of web content, used to structure and markup various elements such as tables, paragraphs, lists, hyperlinks, images, and videos. It defines the user interface of a web page through a series of tags, which are essential for creating any web application or site ¹.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to style and layout web pages. It allows developers to apply styles to HTML elements, controlling aspects like colors, fonts, spacing, and positioning. Mastering CSS is crucial for creating visually appealing and responsive designs.

JavaScript is the programming language that enables interactivity on web pages. It allows developers to implement dynamic features, manipulate the DOM (Document Object Model), and handle events, making web applications more engaging and functional ⁵.

Understanding how these three technologies work together is fundamental for anyone looking to become a proficient frontend developer. Additionally, grasping how the web operates, including concepts like HTTP/HTTPS and DNS, is also important ².
