Hello developers! 👋 Welcome to the 0.1 part of your journey. In this blog, we'll take those crucial first steps – setting up our Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and delving into the foundational info of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
What is HTML?
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the backbone of web development. It structures content on the web, defining elements like headings, paragraphs, images, and links.
What is CSS?
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the artist of the trio. It styles HTML elements, making your web page visually appealing. Colors, layouts, fonts – CSS controls the look and feel.
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript (JS) is the brains. It adds interactivity and dynamic features to your web page. Think of it as the magic that happens when you click a button, and something cool occurs.
What is DOM?
DOM (Document Object Model) is how your HTML and XML documents are represented in memory. It's the bridge between HTML/CSS and JavaScript, allowing them to talk to each other.
What We'll Do
Now, let's get hands-on. We're going to create a basic single-web-page inspired by Zerodha, a financial platform in our upcoming series. Plus, we'll build a simple calculator-like-thing using HTML, CSS, and JS.

HTML: Very minimal. It's the structure, the skeleton.
CSS: Minimal. But, it make things look good!
JavaScript: Heavy. It's the dynamic powerhouse driving modern web applications.
