HyperText Markup Language

HTML is a markup language used with web documents that consists of markup <tags> with data encapsulated within them. Each tag is a different instruction for the browser to 'interpret'. HTML defines the content of a webpage.

Cascading Style Sheets

CSS is a set of declarations and rules for the browser. These 'rules' tell the browswer 'how' to display the data within an HTML tag, depending on which tag is being. Style sheets are widely used for the overall look and feel of a webpage (layouts).

Bootstrap

Free front end framework of defined css classes
Supports for Responsive Web Design - mobile/tablet/desktop friendly

JS is a lightweight and effective client side scripting language. Like HTML and CSS, JS is interpreted by the browswer. In short, JS allows a static webpage to become dynamic and interactive within your browser environment.

jQuery

A lightweight, fast, and feature full JavaScript library.

$(document).ready( function() { ... });
