While attending New River Community College I took a website design class that introduced me to HTML, CSS. Over the course of that semester, we were required to create an app for a pretend company which allowed me to gain a solid grasp on how to code works and how to write it. In this blog, I will discuss some of the things that I learned over my website design course.
HTML
When taking a website design class the first language I was introduced to was HTML. HTML allows a person to create texts on a webpage. Every new page must begin with the code<!DOCTYPE html> so the web browser knows that the doctype is using HTML element. Every text must start and finish with the same element. For example, if you want to create a title at the head of your page you would start with <head> <title> Example title </title> </head>. HTML is the more basic form of code but it is important to have experience with it before moving on to CSS.
CSS
The CSS language is used to change the presentation of the website in many different ways. CSS can change the size, color, and font of a text and can also allow a person to underline texts. One of the coolest things that I found with CSS is the “hover” attribute that when used caused the text that a person’s mouse was hovering over to change colors or fonts. I personally enjoyed CSS more than HTML as it allowed me to be more creative when designing my app.
Nice video! Really tied your blog together.
