    What's the difference between XML, HTML, XHTML, Apache, MySQL, javascript, SSI, PHP, and CSS? I'd like to start learning how to make webpages, learn more about servers and networking, and be able to do something with the knowledge. I'm learning C++ now, but I've heard that HTML is far more simple. So...can someone fill me in on all of these different things, their differences/similarities, what you can do with them, what they are, where I may have run into them or seen them in use before, how I'd go about learning more about them, or using them (if that applies, example if something is a programming language). I'm a bit clueless now as you can see, so I'd like some info. Thanks!

    Why not ask a search engine?

    If you piece it all together for yourself you'll have a deeper understanding...

    • XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language
    • XML is a markup language much like HTML
    • XML was designed to carry data, not to display data
    • XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags
    • XML is designed to be self-descriptive
    • XML is a W3C Recommendation
    HTML is a language for describing web pages.
    • HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
    • HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language
    • A markup language is a set of markup tags
    • HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages
    What Is XHTML?

    • XHTML stands for EXtensible HyperText Markup Language
    • XHTML is almost identical to HTML 4.01
    • XHTML is a stricter and cleaner version of HTML
    • XHTML is HTML defined as an XML application
    • XHTML is a W3C Recommendation of January 2000.
    • XHTML is supported by all major browsers.

    In the search engine when i search maximum web site show just a halt topic or post and make them to finish.If i need any solution it give half solution, not found to clear solution in any website that i learn.so,it is very difficult to learn any IT based Education just depend on website.also added that just reading is not solution like this platform because it is not only depend on basic knowledge but also needs to practice.so,it is easy way if any body show this hand to mouth and do it more and more practice.

    HTML or HyperText Markup Language is the standard markup language used to create Web pages.HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>).A Web browser can read HTML files and compose them into visible or audible Web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags and scripts, but uses them to interpret the content of the page. HTML describes the structure of a Website semantically along with cues for presentation, making it a markup language, rather than a programming language.

    XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format which is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined by the W3C's XML 1.0 Specification and by several other related specifications,all of which are free open standards.The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality and usability across the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for different human languages

    Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) is a family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the language in which Web pages are formulated. While HTML, prior to HTML5, was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a flexible markup language framework, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. XHTML documents are well-formed and may therefore be parsed using standard XML parsers, unlike HTML, which requires a lenient HTML-specific parser.

    HTML is a markup language used for displaying text and documents across different platforms and machines.

    XML is an extensible markup language that was developed to retain the flexibility and power of HTML while reducing most of the complexity.

    Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) is a family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the language in which Web pages are formulated.
