What I’ve Learned So Far

So far I’m getting back up to speed and getting back into the hang of HTML and CSS and I’m excited to start our first big project! So far in class I’ve learned about the Eric Meyer Reset and its advantages and drawbacks, along with normalizing CSS. I’m happy to learn that there are different ways to choose from and I’m excited to learn first hand how to navigate both. I’ve also learned about the numerous FTP applications I can choose from to upload content online. I’m also happy to learn that we have a code checker that we can use during our assignments. Coding the HTML resume was alot of fun, however simple mine seemed to be, it was a great refresher assignment to jog my memory from Natalie’s Intro to Web design class I took two semesters ago. Im really enjoying this class already and I’m excited to learn more!

Week 2 – I can do this!

What I recall from this week was a contrast from last week. Our first assignment was to create a “future resume” and when I started it I felt panic as I did not recall how to start a page, make sections, put things together or make it look good on the page.

I can do this, at least for the second week!

The second week I brought my binder and my Dreamweaver text book to class, but found that I didn’t really need it (yet). This made me feel pretty good. It wasn’t fantastic coding, but it was up within the time limit. I felt pretty good about that.

I am looking forward to learning more. The pace is nice and slow at first (as it should be), but I am looking forward to coding my first project.

html and CSS

I learned this week that it is very important to know the functional differences of html and CSS. Html is used to provide the structural outline and content for the website. It is not used to style or make the website visually appealing. CSS is used for styling and to make the website visually appealing. Both are coded differently, however, both have Emmet enabled shortcuts. I really enjoyed learning how to build code faster and more efficiently.
