--- title: Day 1: Starting My Web Dev Journey published: true description: Learning HTML from scratch ---

Hi everyone! I'm a tech enthusiast currently mastering web development and game development. I am building my foundation from scratch,learning on my phone with Sololearn and Mimo while writing my code completely on a tablet using an app called Acode.

Why I'm Doing This

I want to learn how to turn big ideas into reality, one line of code at a time. I'm starting with the absolute basics of the web: HTML.

My First HTML Project

Today, I built a multi-page setup right on my tablet. Here is the structure of my homepage (index.html):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>My First Blog Post</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Day 1: Starting My Journey To Become A Web Developer</h1>
    <p>I officially started learning web development today!</p><h3>What I Learnt</h3><Some of the things I learnt today were:</p><ul><li>HTML code controls the structure of a webpage</li><li>HTML tags are used to add elements to a webpage </li><li>Elements like button and paragraph require container tags while elements like images and line break only require empty tags<li>Container tags consist of both opening and closing tags.</li><li>Some HTML tags known as Semantic tags</li></ul><h4>What I Built</h4><p>I started with my first project which is my portfolio website</p><h5>Looking Ahead</h5><p>Next I want to learn more on HTML and dive deeper to get a better understanding of HTML and later learn CSS and JavaScript to style and make my webpage more interactive<p>
</body>
</html>```

                        What's Next?
​My next immediate goal is to learn more about HTML and to learn CSS so I can start styling these pages and making them look awesome. After that, I'll be diving into JavaScript and starting my first simple game development projects.
​I'm excited to document my progress here as I grow from a beginner into a software developer. If you have any tips for learning on a mobile device, let me know in the comments!
