Why Learn intro web dev?
HTML is the foundation of all web pages. It defines the structure of a page, while CSS defines its style. HTML and CSS are the beginning of everything you need to know to make your first web page! Learn both and start creating amazing websites.
Suggestion: Industry applications/tie-ins
