How did you learn HTML?

[anto_oi]

The first time I learned HTML I didn't know styling/css let alone javascript, at that time it was like a nightmare especially to arrange the placement of elements according to the interface design that we want. Only after knowing about styling/css and javascript especially bootstrap and jquery web design feel much easier, but sadly the more we learn about it the more complicated and complex it will be .

A mixture really. Mostly self taught myself from YouTube tutorials and written guides. Although I had the majority of learning through school when we were practising on Dreamweaver and Notepad++. It took a lot of time but once I had this knowledge it allowed me to go onto the next coding language.

It’s really like learning a different language.

At what point should a person be considered to "know" html? That, as I learned the hard way is a very subjective thing.

What happens when you start using a JS framework that operates on the "Shadow DOM"?

It can go even further in respect to html. What if the system you are developing is built around HATEOAS?

HATEOAS stands for Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State and it is a component of RESTful API architecture and design.

If your application responds with an html template fragment then it must represent the current application state. This concept is a lot times what delineates the front end developers from the backend developers.

Do you know how to validate your html? Do you validate said html for both logged in users and guest (see above for why it's important)?

Just remember, sometimes html and its correctness can and will have implications beyond what you can see in the browser.
