Sign up[MUSIC] 0:00 Hi, and welcome to Treehouse. 0:04 Treehouse is a great way to learn new skills and land your dream job. 0:06 With Treehouse, you can learn how to code websites and build apps. 0:11 To give you a taste of what we do here, 0:14 let's start building a Web page of our own. 0:16 To build the structure of a page similar to the Ruby Basics course on Treehouse, 0:20 we'll need the heading, Ruby Basics, and this paragraph below it. 0:24 If you are writing this in a word processor, 0:30 you would use a drop-down menu to make the words Ruby Basics look like a title. 0:33 When writing HTML in a text editor, you can use the same text. 0:39 Only here, 0:44 you tell the browser what you want the text to look like using HTML tags. 0:45 Tags in HTML describe what each thing on the page is supposed to be, 0:52 [SOUND] like an image, paragraph or heading. 0:56 To write a heading for our Web page, 0:59 [SOUND] we need to put heading tags around the text. 1:01 Most of the time, the anatomy of the tags are the same, 1:04 the name of the tag between two angle brackets. 1:07 To tell the browser which of the tags is the closing tag, 1:10 you put a slash right before the name in the second tag. 1:14 Using Treehouse's robust text editor, Workspaces, 1:19 which you'll have full access to with your membership, let's finish our 1:23 HTML by writing an opening and closing paragraph tag around the text. 1:27 I'll use the same structure for the paragraph tag as I did for 1:32 the heading tag. 1:36 Now let's preview what our webpage is gonna look like in the browser. 1:38 Great. 1:42 You can see Ruby Basics looks like a title and this paragraph looks like a paragraph. 1:44 Okay, now it's your turn. 1:51 In just a moment, you're gonna be asked to take two code challenges to test your 1:53 knowledge of the heading and paragraph tags. 1:57 When you're done, sign up for a free two-week trial and keep learning. 1:59
