HTML is considered to be part of the presentation layer in web development. It's responsible for defining the structure and content of a web page, essentially creating the visual layout that users see.
Think of it like this:
- HTML provides the blueprint of the page, defining the elements like headings, paragraphs, images, and links.
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) takes this blueprint and styles it, determining the colors, fonts, sizes, and positioning of these elements.
- JavaScript adds interactivity and functionality to the page, making it dynamic and responsive.
Together, these three core technologies create the complete web experience.
