## What is HTML/CSS/Javascript? HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language - the principal language to structure content on the web on a way that is easily digestible by both search engines and web browsers. CSS - Cascading Style Sheets, dictates the design of this very content. Last but not least, Javascript allows us to make complex interactions within our content, allowing us to make server-side calls, handle browser-storage, interact with various other web services and so forth. * [HTML Mozilla Guide](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Introduction) * [CSS Mozilla Guide](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Getting_Started/What_is_CSS) * [Eloquent Javascript](http://eloquentjavascript.net) * [Awesome HTML5](https://github.com/diegocard/awesome-html5) * [Awesome Javascript](https://github.com/sorrycc/awesome-javascript)
