Overview

The content of your website is all the STUFF that is presented to the user. This is usually a lot of textual information, however, content can also include images, videos, animations, audio files, as well as attached or downloadable media such as pdf, word, or excel documents. For more information you can view Web Content on Wikipedia.

I can not help you so much with the first one, so we will concentrate on understanding why and how a markup language is important when creating content online.

Remember the cardinal rule of web development is "Be organized", So after learning how to create content, you will learn how to organize and manage your content. This is usually accomplished with database systems.

Please note that using databases is an advanced topic and while it is more optimal in the long run, any website having maybe 20 or less content pages can simply save their content in individual content files, otherwise known as HTML pages.

While eventually learning databases is important, it will not hurt you to skip this section initially.
