Over the first two weeks of Fall semester, I practiced some basic HTML by working on the future resume project, set goals for myself, and did some review of HTML tags.
For the future resume project, I struggled to remember the basics of HTML. Since I was a total beginner in Spring of 2023 and did not practice at all over the summer, I know I’ll need to give myself time to remember what’s going on. For my first draft I did pretty much only <ul> tags. After some feedback, I used the <p> tag, the <address> tag, changed the order of my <h> tags, and used the <br> tag instead of different list items.
For goal setting, I wanted to aim to create any portfolio pieces that potentially could help me get a future web design job. I also intend to solidify my basic understandings of CSS and HTML. In general, CSS and HTML are such valuable tools in this day and age, so any skills I can develop in these areas will be very helpful in whichever career I end up in.
As far as new tags go, I did some research on the <section> vs <article> tags. I also learned about the different types of video codecs and how those fit into HTML.
