Great HTML and CSS Guide
This week I happened to stumble upon this website that offers tons of tutorials on not only HTML but on CSS as well. They offer several tiers of tutorials on both topics, ranging from beginner to advanced. I went ahead and looked around the different topics on the site to get a feel for the site and what all it had to offer. Clicking on the beginner HTML link brings you to a site that pretty much explains what we had done on the first day of HTML in class. From creating tables and using headers to creating the body, all of these topics could be found there. This site also does something I found very helpful, and that is they offer a recap at the end of each tutorial section to wrap up everything and offer the user help on putting all of the topics in the section together. It’s one thing to be able to understand how to work each different part in HTML, but its another to be able to put them all together to make something. I also went ahead and took a look around the HTML intermediate and advanced topics and saw things such as meta tags and we had mentioned in class, as well as more table information, and tags that you should stay away from. I also looked at some CSS information and was pleased to see it is somewhat similar to applying HTML, but maybe a little more difficult to apply. I found this particularly interesting because it is something that we can all definitely use while we are learning and using HTML in class and it will give us something to reference as we begin to work on our web sites. Obviously it relates to class because it is exactly what we have been working on this week.
