Tim Berners Lee
Founder of HTML
HTML is the most fundamental and useful technology for creating a website. In this series of tutorial, I have tried to cover all the major and important topics of HTML v1.0 to HTML v4.0. For HTML5, there is another separate series of tutorial. This tutorial guides you how to use HTML tags and attributes in a webpage, step-by-step, with solved exercise.
