Assignment: "HyperText Markup Language, commonly referred to as HTML, is the standard markup
language used to create web pages. Along with CSS, and JavaScript, HTML is a cornerstone technology,
used by most websites to create visually engaging webpages, user interfaces for web applications, and
user interfaces for many mobile applications. Web browsers can read HTML files and render them into
visible or audible web pages. HTML describes the structure of a website semantically along with cues for
presentation, making it a markup language, rather than a programming language. HTML elements form
the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to
create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural
semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. The language is
written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>).
Browsers do not display the HTML tags and scripts, but use them to interpret the content of the page.
HTML can embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML web
pages. Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the look and layout of text
and other material. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS
standards, has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML since 1997." (Wikipedia,
2015)
"HTML5 is the fifth revision of the HTML standard since the inception of the World Wide Web. Its core
aims are to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable
by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices" (Wikipedia, 2015)
"Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding
documents in a format which is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined by the W3C's
XML 1.0 Specification and by several other related specifications, all of which are free open standards.
The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality and usability across the Internet. It is a textual
data format with strong support via Unicode for different human languages. Although the design of XML
focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures such as those

used in web services. Several schema systems exist to aid in the definition of XML-based languages,
while many application programming interfaces (APIs) have been developed to aid the processing of
XML data." (Wikipedia, 2015)
"JavaScript (JS) is a high-level, dynamic, untyped, and interpreted programming language. It has been
standardized in the ECMAScript language specification. Alongside HTML and CSS, it is one of the three
essential technologies of World Wide Web content production; the majority of websites employ it and it
is supported by all modern web browsers without plug-ins." (Wikipedia, 2015) "ECMAScript is a
trademarked scripting language specification standardized by Ecma International in ECMA-262 and
ISO/IEC 16262." (Wikipedia, 2015)
"Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a
document written in a markup language. Although most often used to set the visual style of web page
and user interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any XML document.
Along with HTML and JavaScript, CSS is a cornerstone technology used by most websites to create
visually engaging webpages, user interfaces for web applications, and user interfaces for many mobile
applications. CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content from document
presentation, including aspects such as the layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can improve
content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation
characteristics, enable multiple HTML pages to share formatting by specifying the relevant CSS in a
separate .css file, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content, such as semantically
insignificant tables that were widely used to format pages before consistent CSS rendering was available
in all major browsers." (Wikipedia, 2015) "CSS3 is the newest version of CSS and is divided into several
separate documents called "modules". Each module adds new capabilities or extends features defined
in previous versions, preserving backward compatibility." (Wikipedia, 2015)
