The History of HTML: Inspired by Open Source
The History of HTML: A Journey Inspired by Open Source and Innovation Introduction The web is a testament to human ingenuity, and at its core lies HTML—a language that has transformed how we share, learn, and connect. As someone passionate about applied science and the endless possibilities of technology, I embarked on a journey to create a custom HTML IDE (Integrated Development Environment). This project not only reflects my love for innovation but also my belief in the power of open-source collaboration. Join me as I explore the history of HTML, its impact on the world, and how this project is a stepping stone in my quest to become a researcher in applied science.
