Lesson 1 HTML
I have recently been trying to learn how to code again. I haven’t used codes since I took a web design class in high school. It could be a good side hustle if I wanted to make more money but it is also a good why to create fun little sites.
The site I have been using is the Code Academy. I really like it! Its funny how much I remember. It really helps you re-learn or even learn if you never did HTML before. I haven’t gone that far yet but I did recently get done with the first lesson. I like the step-by-step guides you do and you can see your work.
Here Is What I Learned
This is only from the second lesson “Preparing for HTML”, since I started taking notes on lesson 2.
- Declaration – let website know what type of doc to expect
- <!DOCTYPE html> – the html = standard, always include at the beginning of HTML doc
- .html – always saved in a file w/a .html extension
- <html> – Tag
- <!DOCTYPE html>
- <html>
- Anything between opening and the closing will be interpreted as a HTML code
- </html>
- <head> element = info on page itself, contains metadata for web page
- metadata – info about a page that isn’t displayed directly
- <head> </head> – opening and closing head tags
- <title> tag = browsers tab displays the title specifies in the <title> tag
- <title></title> – opening and closing title tags
- <title> tag always instead of a <head>
That is only a touch of what I have learned so far. I will be adding more but in the near future! I have a code academy practice right now so I’ll share more later. If you ever wanted to learn something or even pick up a new hobby I would try coding at least at the HTML level.
