Summary

It doesn't take long to become an old fogey, by World Wide Web standards. If FrontPage is your first experience creating Webs, you'll probably hear some “in my day, things were different” stories about HTML.

Before the development of software like FrontPage, all Webs were created by marking up text with HTML tags in text editors like Windows Notepad. Many developers still prefer HTML because of perceived limitations in software that creates these tags for you. They feel that you get more control over the finished product by coding it yourself.
