In the first lesson, students will dive into the world of HTML, the cornerstone of web design. We'll begin by exploring basic HTML tags and structure, teaching students how to set up a simple web page. The focus will be on understanding the function and syntax of various HTML elements such as headers, paragraphs, links, and images. By the end of this module, students will create their own HTML page featuring a mix of these elements to solidify their learning. 

 Building on foundational knowledge, this week introduces more complex HTML elements and attributes. Students will learn to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of their web pages through the use of additional tags like <table>, <form>, and advanced formatting options. Emphasis will be placed on the practical application of HTML links and using color effectively. The session will conclude with students updating their web pages to incorporate these new ideas. 

 CSS is an essential tool for styling web pages. Students will learn the basics of CSS, including selectors, properties, and values, and how to apply these to HTML structures to alter appearance and layout. Practical exercises will include creating stylesheets from scratch and modifying existing ones to make web pages visually appealing and responsive. Students will apply CSS to their ongoing projects, experimenting with layout techniques and design principles. 

 The course introduces JavaScript, enabling students to add interactive and dynamic content to web pages. We'll cover basic JavaScript syntax and functions, how to manipulate the DOM, and how to integrate JavaScript with HTML and CSS for real-world applications. Additionally, students will explore advanced HTML features like templates and special effects.
