What You Will Learn?
- Learning how to code is all the rage and rightfully so. Everyone from Mayor Bloomberg to Snoop Dogg is ready to get their nerd on. The first step to getting your website up and running is learning HTML. .
- There's no shortage of reasons to start learning HTML. Here are just a few:.
- I freaking love HTML! We'll skip a lot of computer history and get right into how to translate content into code. The more people with this knowledge, the more great content can be shared on the web. Whether your current or future site is your portfolio, a great new blog, or pictures of your pets, I can't wait to share this class with you so you can start sharing your content, too! .
- What You'll Learn.
- What You'll Make.
- We'll create the HTML for four page portfolio website featuring some of the most common aspects to an online portfolio that can be used for a plethora of different subject matters and professions. We'll break down what content is needed on each page and how that is translated into our HTML code. .
- This site will be HTML-only, which means text only without any pretty colors or styling. HTML provides the building blocks for the rest of the web process. A strong foundation, like the one we'll create in this class, will be used for all future phases of the portfolio website. After this, the next steps are adding design and style with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to add more pizzazz and personality to your site. First things first though, and that's what we'll look at here and have some fun while doing so! There may or may not be pictures of cats involved. .
