How Microsoft Copilot Taught Me HTML
I didn’t set out to learn HTML. I just wanted to build something fun. But thanks to VS Code (IDE) and Microsoft Copilot, I ended up learning more HTML than I ever did from tutorials. VS Code is my go-to editor because it’s fast, and endlessly customizable. Extensions like Live Server make front-end work smooth. The real game-changer, though, was Microsoft Copilot.
I started typing basic structure — html, head, body — and Copilot filled in the rest. It suggested semantic tags like <section>, <article>, and <nav> before I even knew what they were for. I learned by doing — and by accepting, rejecting, and tweaking Copilot’s suggestions. Along the way, I picked up the difference between inline vs block elements, how to structure forms properly, accessibility basics like aria-label, and best practices I didn’t even know were best practices.
then from that I learned how to code the majority of HTML. Fast forward 1 year I now have 2 websites. these tools were a game changer.
if you want to download VS code install it here
and if you want to install Microsoft copilot do it here
thanks!
