Until I started my Online JCOM class I had only every heard of HTML. On our second day of class we learned the basic codes that allow you to begin creating webpage. At first, I was nervous to start using HTML because in my mind it was simply a bunch of dashes and codes that seemed far too confusing. However, once I started practicing, it was a lot easier and more exciting than I expected.
In an article that discusses the basics of beginning XHTML it defined the practice as: “…a way of describing how a set of text and images should be displayed to the viewer, similar in concept to a newspaper editor's markup symbols." This definition helped me to better understand HTML and think of it as the overall blueprints and layout of what you want your webpage to look like.
As a PR major, I have realized the importance of learning at least the basics of HTML. Being able to tell a future employer that I know how to construct a webpage is going to give me an advantage over my competitors. This ability also lets your employer know that you are technologically savvy and comfortable using tools and resources that could help the business.
Another note to add is that like all technology, HTML will eventually infiltrate throughout society and eventually be used and understand by the vast amount of people. Realizing this, it is important to get ahead and master HTML concepts now so you can already be ahead for the future.
