Some just want to see the world burn. Or delete parts or their HTML 😉 Whether its just for kicks and lolz – or simply to gratify ones‘ need for self-flagellation – in this task we’ll delete stuff we made. Get ready for it!

I know, I know – the picture above is a fraud. It does not show comments in HTML but comments in JavaScript. While comments are such a vital way to document code in various different languages, especially with HTML developers tend to disregard them almost as much as the latest Cats movie. So let’s do something about that ?

So. You want to hide the cat content for which you painstakingly wrote HTML but do not want delete it – because you need it to guide yourself towards a solution that is both smart and beautiful? Look no further, HTML comments at your service!

Another day, another task: today we will tinker with placeholder texts. But hold your horses – these are not the placeholders you might expect. Let’s jump right into it.

The World Wide Web (WWW) was built by Sir Tim Berners-Lee for one incredibly important thing: exchanging information with many others. Thus it is a save bet that content is the true ? on the Web. But how to structure information on the Web? <p> element to the rescue!

While the first task was not a task at all, in the first real task we finally get our hands dirty. So let’s jump right into it!

The first task is not a task at all – the attentive reader will have noticed in the headline, that our first stop on the road to web development is an introduction 😉
