Easy learning

Do you know what HTML is? It is a programming language used for designing web pages in the internet. HTML is the abbreviation of Hyper Text Markup Language.

It looks like word processing. For "saving file" the extension is .html; otherwise it will be saved as a word document.

A few days ago, while watching TV, my father asked me whether I wished to learn HTML; I nodded ; I was eager to know what it was. I asked my father how he learnt it. He replied that he was going to HTML classes. He also said that he would teach me during his free time. That day he taught me some basic commands.

HTML commands look like Spanglish. For bold, for closing or ending the command use/ with the same command; that way for closing bold command ; for italicized, means font size larger than normal font +2 etc., etc.

The next day when he went to his office, I started exploring many CDs (Compact Disks) which come with magazines like PC-quest, computer@home etc. To my surprise there were a lot of HTML programmes in them. I started to surf . When I found the programmes, I tried to understand what each command meant. I was successful and decoded many HTML commands by trial and error method.

Then I experimented with each command. I took further lessons from my father. My habit of exploring continued during my father's absence. In a week's time I understood many concepts. Then one day when my father wasat the computer, he could not get a particular "output", I gave him my suggestion.

It worked. He was very pleased.

He asked me, "how did you know this?" I replied, "I have been experimenting, of course, in your absence."

Isn't my way of learning HTML good?
