When we think of coding, we think of something complex and foreign in relation to website building and design. Coding has always been connected to a level of difficulty that many people don’t care to understand, including myself. However, there are some very fascinating concepts to understand about coding, and I’m going to share with you the general languages of coding.
Coding is the process of assigning a code to something for the purposes of classification or identification. Coding can be broken up into foundational languages: HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
HTML5 is related to the structure of a website, and is a system that allows the modification of the appearance of web pages, as well as making adjustments to their appearance. It also used to structure and present content for the web.
CSS3 is related to the style of a website, such as the brand colors, font type, and guidelines on the size of headers and body text.
JavaScript is related to the logic of a website, such as being able to function fully and user logic to respond to the customers using it (enlarging images for example).
Understanding some of these basic concepts of coding allows for a smooth transition into the learning phase of coding.
