Today we were supposed to learn more about HTML and CSS by
watching videos on Lynda.com. A basic definition of each is that HTML is a
language that which allows computers to communicate between one another. HTML
means hypertext markup language and its created by links that make up the web.
And CSS is a style sheet language developed to control the presentation of
markup language. In other words HTML is the structure of the building and CSS
is the skin or outside of the building to give its structure an appearance. Although you can create style within HTML it
is more efficient to complete in CSS as a style sheet because in the end you
will only have to change one file of CSS rather than 20 files of html. Most of
HTML should contain the link to connect to your CSS file, and most of your body
copy everything else can be done within CSS. Two important elements are IDs and
classes to identify elements within your files. There are lots of elements that
you can add to your files like changing the background, adding fonts, adding
images, using images as links and creating layouts. Doing this type of language
is very technical and may seem complicated. I believe by practicing this
several times that it won’t seem so overwhelming due to all the code formats
and rules.
