Do you know the difference between HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? Not many people do, so I thought I’d share my analogy of a website being like a house, where each webpage a room. The HTML is the architecture of the house — walls, floors, ceilings, pipes. On a webpage, this will be its layout and size [...]
