Solution:

HTML Code:

<!doctype html><!-- Declares the document type and version of HTML -->
<html><!-- Opening tag for the HTML document -->
<head><!-- Opening tag for the head section which contains metadata -->
<title>HTML CSS Exercise - Target attribute begins with a certain value</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
<style> /* Opening tag for CSS styling */
.container[data-name^=w3r]{ /* Styles for elements with class 'container' and attribute 'data-name' starting with 'w3r' */
color:#5ac4ed; /* Sets the text color to a shade of blue */
}
</style><!-- Closing tag for CSS styling -->
</head><!-- Closing tag for the head section -->
<body><!-- Opening tag for the body section which contains the content -->
<div class="container" data-name="w3resource">Web developemnt tutorials.</div><!-- Container div with attribute 'data-name' starting with 'w3r' -->
<div class="container" data-name="w3r">HTML, CSS, JS, PHP...</div><!-- Container div with attribute 'data-name' starting with 'w3r' -->
</body><!-- Closing tag for the body section -->
</html><!-- Closing tag for the HTML document -->

Explanation:

The HTML document consists of two <div> elements with the class 'container'.
Both <div> elements have an attribute data-name with values "w3resource" and "w3r" respectively.
CSS styling is applied within <style> tags.
The .container[data-name^=w3r] selector targets elements with class 'container' and attribute 'data-name' that begins with 'w3r'.
It sets the text color of these elements to a shade of blue (#5ac4ed).
Both <div> elements match the CSS selector as their data-name attribute starts with 'w3r', hence both are styled with the specified color.
