HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

This "a kid could do it" programming language is what you use to author a Web page. Html's simplicity is one of the driving forces behind the Web's popularity: With any would-be Web publisher a mere two hours away from learning the basics, everyone and their mother (and their freshman-year roommate, the girl that gave them cooties in kindergarten, and their dental hygienist) can slap up a site. Advanced html is easily picked up by viewing the source code behind whatever page tickles your fancy - answering "how did they do that?" is just a drop-down menu away on your browser. (NOTE: There's a special hell for people unclear on the difference between learning how it's done and plagiarizing).
