Metaphorically explain HTML and CSS
# Metaphorically explain HTML and CSS
Get up in front of the class and whip out a piece of sh*tty A4 paper. Fold it in
half and on the front write ‘Happy Birthday’ in one colour. Inside, scribble a
typical birthday message in the same pen.
This is HTML. It’s a message. It’s content. Stress the fact that, although it
doesn’t look very pretty, its job is fulfilled: it has effectively passed on
some content. It’s communicated with someone.
