It has been only two weeks since a semester started. It might seems that not a lot can be learned in this short period of time, but…
When I started to think what I learned this week, actually these two weeks, I didn’t expect to come up with a long list. First, it was really helpful to overview HTML and CSS because I forgot a lot since taking Intro to Web Design class a year ago. Here are some things to remember:
– Semantic HTML is choosing the most meaningful tag, while syntax is writing a code correctly. => Semantics = meaning; syntax = grammar.
– HTML is used to structure a document not to style it. => HTML = structure; CSS = style.
– a tag <section> can be used within <article>, and vice versa.
– <em> is used to emphasize something, but not the heading (because it’s already emphasized).
The document outline dilemma is another thing I learned about this week. I would never think that something so logical and simple can be so complicated. After using W3C Nu HTML validator servicefor the assignment Resume, I’ve realized why this dilemma exists. Even though, the structural outline might seem fine, the heading-level one might not. So, I think it’s a must service to use while coding a document.
Another helpful resource I’ve added to my bookmarks is an e-mail address encoder. No more worries about spam lists!
Reset and Normalize CSS is another thing I learned this week. Looking at the advantages and disadvantages of both will definitely help in making the decision of which one is better to use in a particular situation.
