ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ian Hickson

Ian Hickson is a very smart computer programmer who helped create a coding language called HTML.

HTML is like the building blocks that make up websites. Think of it like a toy building set that you can use to make all sorts of cool things like castles, houses, and cars.

Ian Hickson was one of the people who helped make the pieces for this toy building set. He came up with ideas for how to make it easier for people to use HTML and how to make it work better with other parts of the internet.

So, thanks to Ian Hickson, people like you and me can use HTML to make awesome websites!
