Web Pages
Text file that says what to display Web pages use HTML (HyperText Markup
Language)
Two types of information Instructions on how or what to display Text (the data)
Instructions are in the form of tags < command >
Do NOT need any special tools to build BUT tools can make it easier
![Page 19: COMP 101 Fluency in Technology Diane Pozefsky 19 August 2014](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649e545503460f94b4a6f0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Choosing Tools
Very fancy tools exist Ease of building vs. control
Cost
We will use an editor that helps you get it right
We will NOT use tools that hide what you are doing
We will use Komodo Editor
![Page 21: COMP 101 Fluency in Technology Diane Pozefsky 19 August 2014](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649e545503460f94b4a6f0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sharing Web Pages
Using Komodo Editor creates a web page on your machine You can use the browser to look at it
But who else can see it? NOBODY
Want it to be on a SERVER UNC provides: ISIS

Creating Web Pages
