I am sure almost everyone has had a cake before and am also sure you know the basic components of said cake but for this short explanation lets pretend you don’t.
Building websites is like baking that theoretical cake you need to understand what goes into making one before it is ready to be shared.
Lets start making our cake you have you eggs, butter, milk, maybe some chocolate. Point is these are going to build the foundation or the structure of the cake. They will determine the body and the content of the cake. For a website those ingredients are HTML
Now your cake has been baked but is looking mighty bland you decide to add some frosting maybe cut it up into a unique shape, you’re styling that cake. For websites to have a unique look to them programmers use CSS to alter colors, fonts even the layout of the page
Now to apply logic which basically allows interaction between the consumer and the website JavaScript being of one the most recognized programming language helps to establish that interaction. Let’s a computer mouse to a fork, both being tools used to interact with the cake and website respectively. If you touch(click) any where on the cake(website) that interaction will hopefully result in a change of some sort if everything was done correctly.
Know that you know everything that is needed or related to making a cake its time to store all that information for you to use when you need it again. Maybe you want to change up the recipe add a little something or take something away. Whether you keep all that information in your mind or in a cookbook it is serving as a Database for you to retrieve when you have need of it.
Making a Website isn’t a cake walk but it sure is easier when you have the basic concepts down.
Melvin, I liked your use of graphics in this blog to add some comedy to it. The way you wrote out the directions like a recipe was informative and interesting to read.
