Start with Basics!

Now that we have got everything ready lets start with our part! An html page is just like another document that you keep in your official files packed and stuffed! And having said that, it also consists of defined elements to describe the structure of the document like, it has a heading, a page title, few paragraphs, etc.
I HOPE YOU GOT THE IDEA. Now likewise, these elements form the layout of the page in an HTML document also and they have a fixed syntax on HOW and WHERE they need to be placed.

The html elements are always written with the angle brackets "<" and ">" for the web browser to understand and distinguish between html elements and the text wrapped in them. In html terminology these angle bracketed elements are called TAGS*. 

Most of the times these tags exist in pairs, i.e. opening and closing tags to be specific. The content is wrapped between these pair of tags in order to apply the properties and behaviour of that specific element. For e.g. : A paragraph starts with a new line, a header text is bold and bigger than normal text etc.

These opening tag and closing tag just differs by a single "slash '/ ' " before the tag name in the closing tag like this pair : <tag></tag>. The super tag of all that defines a page is html is the "html tag" itself. It's written like <html>...</html> and almost everything in html is written between these html tags.

It is advised that every time you start with html, you type both the opening and closing tag for each element first and then type the content or other html tags between them in order to avoid complications.
Write the opening and closing tags : <html></html>
then write the content between them : <html> .... .... .... </html>



NOTE: The html tags are not case sensitive. If you write a tag with Capslock ON by mistake or pressing Shift intentionally it wouldn't make a difference. e.g. : <HTML></HTML> and <html></html> are the same. but don't try experimenting like <hTmL>, <htmL> etc. although it will work but the best practise is to use all lower case characters while writting tags.

Just open you favourite text editor and write the opening and closing html tags. Feels to less of a work! Just preparing the boat. The journey to the sea is still to start.

How to program pyramids using loops - 2

In this video tutorial, two of the more patterns have been discussed that relates to the similar pattern problems. What's different about these are that they also include spaces before the stars as a part of the pattern to be printed. Having this extra sub pattern to track spaces  in the desired pattern requires an extra loop to track and control it . For a brief review, We discussed that these patterns if observed carefully are just representation of tables i.e. a combination of rows and columns . And few of the cells in that table are populated with some data according to a logically programmed algorithm with represents a pattern. In these cases, the red triangles shows us the spaces represented by "sp" and therefore unlike the previous pattern these need to be managed by the loop as they occur before the stars in the pattern. So, taking the same approach of rows and columns managing loops, we will have an outer loop that tracks the rows which will start at 0...

Hello World in PHP!

PHP is one of the most powerful languages of the web. PHP is an application server as well as a programming language that has the capability to do loads of stuff like generate dynamic HTML, connect to databases, apply programming logic to the website code, server side scripting, form handling etc. It is one of the most widely used scripting languages. In order to get it running, you will need to have a basic setup preconfigured which we'll cover later in the course. Just to give you all a head's up, we will start with the trivial "HELLO WORLD" program. Test Code : ( Use this code to display Hello World! in the console ) <?php echo "Hello, World!"; ?> NOTE:  Don't worry about anything else you see on the screen just focus on the code and rest will be discussed later in the tutorials. Save the file as " H ello.php " in the DOCUMENT ROOT of your web-server; for XAMPP users like me its the HTDOCS folder in the installat...

Hello world in Java!

Java is one of the most commonly used programming languages in the world today. Most of the work you can ever think in the world of programming can be done using Java Programming. Java is used to program everything from small devices to heavy machines. Everything from your Smartphone to your ATM card is somehow supported by Java behind the scenes. In order to learn Java which you might have also heard as of the most popular Object oriented Programming language of the modern times, we must start with the trivial "HELLO WORLD" program. Test Code : ( Use this code to display Hello World! in the console ) public class Hello {     public static void main ( String args[] ) {         System.out.println( "Hello, World!" );     } } NOTE:  Don't worry about anything else you see on the screen just focus on the code and rest will be discussed later in the tutorials. Save the file as " H ello.java " ,  the .java exte...
