Welcome back to Developer land.
So far we have learned:
- what real programmers use to upload their code for others to collaborate. Using Github.com
- HTML basics to make a website
- the tools we can use to edit HTML code in
Group Projects time for 25 minutes
Let me know if you'd like help with your website.
Building Blocks of a Website
- HTML - the content and "bones" of a website
- CSS - the decorations, here we can add fancy decorations
- Javascript - animations can be added here, game-making, scripting, etc..
Step 1. Let's go to neocities.org
Today we are going to start programming in CSS! This makes your website PRETTY! !
You'll see a lot of interesting website examples here.
Step 2. CSS Building blocks
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.
CSS files are for creating rules for the standard designs of every webpage on your website.
Think of a page like youtube or instagram. All the fonts, designs are kept the same on each part of the site. This is what CSS helps do! It gives decorative rules for the developer to choose from.
Step 3. Javascript Building Blocks
Every website typically ties in both HTML and CSS with a bit of javascript for some additional flare.
For example: https://codepen.io/sadness97/pen/KKobMWx
We will get around to Javascript in the next class.
For now, keep working in CSS inside of neocities.org!
