Is HTML important to learn?

With the easy availability of different editors generally people do not spend much time into hardcore coding. I have always believed that one should know the engine which is running at the back-end. In this case it is HTML coding. If we know the language on our own then we can take the help of editors to build the skeleton and then use our knowledge to fine-tune it. So guys what do you think?

You are right, but everybody cannot devote so much time to understand Hyper text markup language. If you learn it is good also, it can be very useful, even in job.

HTML is important to learn I think.

Of course if your just the regular email checker user then HTML wouldn't be needed however to create and to almost present anything to anyone a portfolio etc. easier done with HTML online then by hand.

Hey I think that the hype text markup language is one if the basic languages which one should understand because it provides a bisic knowledge on which anyone can learn other language very soon and easily like php and jsp etc

Yes it is ver important to learn the basics of this program. It is true that there are a lot of html editors on the market place but I am afraid that they often dont allow thier users to be as inovative as they should be.

I put up my first site in 1999 using FrontPage because I knew no html.

That was a mistake that I have corrected.

Take the time to learn basic html. Use an editor type thing for complex stuff if you must and then check the coding youself.

About all I use anymore is notepad2 (free to download). My sites look better and load faster.

You need to learn at least (X)HTML if you are serious about making money online. Some good sources to begin learning are http://webdevelopmenttutorials.com/ and http://w3schools.com/

Well its much important to you if you want to make your self as webpage developer.
Now days it is much important to have some knowledge in this field according to this
generation.
Probabely programmin is well compare to the design method and its quite related.

Yes, it's very important if you want to make a website or a blog. While it's true there are several html WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors like Dreamweaver, it's always useful having general knowledge of HTML because sometimes you'll have to edit the code yourself. It's not so difficult to learn HTML, it only takes time ;)

HTML provided me with a basic understanding of how web programming languages worked. I'd say that yes, it is important to learn it, as trying to learn another language with a very limited understanding of HTML is difficult. HTML could probably be described as your first step. :)

If you don't know HTML don't bother to learn PHP or any other programming language.

You should learn HTML and a bit of server side coding, because it will help you to understand more. And you are kinda independent from other people and fix your page in the case.

Good question, now a days so many html editors are available that we are not required to learn much about HTML, but before learning bike you have to learn cycle and HTML is like cycle in web development, the most basic thing in website industry so according to me you must first learn HTML then go for all other language in web development...... :)

many software like Dreamweaver does the programming for you. i still learn html because it is fun to learn. also learn programming gives u total control. many softwares and hired programmers can only do what they are told. really it is up to you. u save a bunch of money by learning HTML.

As a start of web programming it is better to know HTML then go advance type of programming language for better features.

Once you understand and learn about HTML, you would be amazed with all the things that you can do through it, like create your own site and add different features.

Learn basic HTML to create your Web site. Basic HTML is not hard to learn. Learning HTML is probabaly the single most important thing you'll ever do if you want to create your own personal Web site. You must learn HTML to design good pages because it is the language in which Web site on the Internet are based on.

Web sites are a great way to show off something in your life. Basic HTML will let you show the world whatever it is you want to show them on your Web site. Adding colors, changing text size and including pictures on your Web site are just a few of the things you can do when you learn basic HTML.

To learn basic HTML you must keep in mind that it's simply a series of letters that are abbreviations of what they actually stand for. For example, H1 stands for a heading for a paragraph that is the first of five sizes and BR is a line break.

One important thing to remember, while you learn basic HTML, is that on a Web page the HTML tags must come in a certain order and most HTML tags must have a start and end tag for the browser to recognize the command. An end tag is just simply the same as the start tag except that it starts with the / symbol. A heading would look like this <H1>Heading Here</H1>. There is a start tag, H1, the heading, and an end tag, /H1.
