HTML for All the Newbies Out There
Hello
there,
This week I
want to talk to you about a subject that before 2019 was really boring for me,
but during this year it started to grow on me: HTML.
I ran across
coding in three times of my life. In my first university, which I didn’t like and
dropped out, so I didn’t put the effort to learn it properly. In my second
university, where I learned to code in Excel and found it to be really useful,
but also really boring. And now, in my third university, where I can finally
say that I came to like it. I think this time I had already seen the market’s need
for knowing HTML and also had discovered my passion for online design.
I am still
in the very beginning of learning how to write HTML, but since now it is
something I am really excited about I wanted to share with you some of the
things I learned about it.
For
starters: do you know what HTML is?
To be
really honest with you, before I had to learn it, I had no idea what it was. HTML
or Hyper Text Markup Language consists
in writing a code that will generate a website. It is used to create content and
structure for your website.
HTML follows
a certain structure:
- Document Type (DOCTYPE): You have to state which type of HTML is going to be used;
- Head: where you provide data for the title of the page;
- Body: where you put the content of the document.
This is how
a template for starting your code should look like:
From this basic code you can start writing your page. My first page was as simple as it could be and it looked like this:
The code used for that was:
After this first page I started learning how to play with the texts (using bold, italic,...), how to insert photos, videos and links, and also how to create tables by writing them on the code. And the last page I created was the following:
The code for that was:
Well, this is just the beginning. But I can already say that being able to create something from scratch is amazing.
Hope to hear some of your thoughts and/or tips about html,
Byee.
