HTML (hyper text markup language)
summary
This subchapter looks at HTML (hyper text markup language).
HTML is used to tell a web browser the contents of a web page.
Even though HTMl is not generally considered to be an actual programming language, there are two good reasons to include a discussion of HTML in a general computer programming text book.
(1) HTML has a structure similar to most mainstream programming languages, making it a good introduction to some of the mechanics of writing source code.
(2) A great deal of modern software must work on the internet (and more specifically the world wide web) and eventually the software has to produce working HTML.

history
Tim Berners-Lee’s original NeXT computer |
The world wide web was invented by Timothy John “Tim” Berners-Lee invented the world wide web and HTML on the NeXTStep at CERN in 1990. The first website was built on a NeXT computer at CERN and was first put online AUgust 6, 1991. The name WorldWideWeb was created in May 1990.
In December 1991 the first server outside of Europe was installed at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) at Stanford University in California. By November 1992 there were 26 servers in the world. By October 1993 there were more than 220 web servers.
The Mosaic web browser was releasede by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in February 1993, running on both DOS/Windows and Apple Macintoshes.
free music player coding example
Coding example: I am making heavily documented and explained open source code for a method to play music for free — almost any song, no subscription fees, no download costs, no advertisements, all completely legal. This is done by building a front-end to YouTube (which checks the copyright permissions for you).

Because I no longer have the computer and software to make PDFs, the book is available as an HTML file, which you can convert into a PDF.
