Starting Your Own Website

Is It Easy to Create our own Website? What is HTML?

Creating a website today is much easier than people think. You do not need to be a very technical person to get a website done. You just need to learn the basics of web design and go from there. HTML is actually fairly simple to understand once you see it done a few times.

What is HTML?

HTML is the acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. This basically tells another computer what to show on your webpage . The web browser (like Internet Explorer or FireFox) will read this HTML language and display it on your computer.

Coding

Coding in HTML language can be a bit tough for some people, especially some of the more advanced commands. You can actually purchase programs such as Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft Frontpage, and others to help you build website. These programs are used to create professional webpages/websites graphically rather than with coding.

There are many resources that can help you guide the way toward your new website. Books, magazines, and of course the internet can help you. Keep following this blog, I’ll be adding much more on the basics of creating the website, then promoting it. You can’t learn until you start, so why not now??

Introduction to SQL

SQL, also known as Structured Query Language, is a collection of data that resides in a file called a database. SQL is similar to other database languages, such as Oracle. For simplicity we’ll stick with SQL at this time.

SQL is a database language used to access and/or modify your database information.

A Few of the SQL commands we’ll cover in future articles are SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE, INSERT, WHERE, ORDER, plus more advanced topics such as JOIN, GROUP, and more.
