wk3 learning journal

I learned this week that there are typographical rules for web design as well as print. I was pleasantly surprised to know that we are encouraged to use one font throughout a whole site. I also learned that ftp uploads require attention to detail, especially when updating a document or file. You have to remember to upload the new one and override the old one. I also learned that styling in CSS requires a lot of memory retention skills. If you continually practice writing the code out instead of using the code generator in Dreamweaver, you will get efficient at it. However, if you are unsure how to code something, the code generator is a real help.

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.
