NYCH Village Bloggurls
HTML & CSS Workshop
I'm Stella.
I first started coding when...
I was in high school and we were lucky enough to have had a computer labs class.
But I had the most fun when I customized the way my profiles looked on sites like asianavenue.com (now asianave.com) and MySpace
HTML and CSS is a perfect starting point to
express yourself.
Hope we'll show you how addictive code can be!
I'm Betty.
I first started coding when...
I was in elementary school in a computer class. I first didn't like it very much but...
When I started working at Weather Network, I copied and pasted a lot of code without understanding a lot of it. I got curious and learned some more at a coding bootcamp.
Since then I've gone on to build some really cool things!
If I can do it, anyone can do it :D!

It is estimated that US universities will graduate about 400,000 computer scientists
between 2010 and 2020,
...during which 1.4 million US computing jobs will open up, leaving a gap of about a million computing jobs.
Only about 18% of undergraduate computer science degrees are awarded to females, and an even smaller percentage of females remain in the computer science profession after college

HyperText Markup Language
HTML
HTML HISTORY
HTML
- Invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee
- Created the World Wide Web in 1990
- Wanted to share academic papers in a digital format
A language used to describe the content and structure of our documents
HTML
Think of HTML as ....
HTML Shell
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html><head>
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>-
Can be though of as the brain of the document
-
Its properties are not part of the physical layout of the page
<body>
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>-
Represents the area from the top left corner of our page, to the bottom right
-
Holds the physical structure of the page, much like our own body
-
All of our work today will be done here!
Let's take a deeper dive into an HTML tag
HTML
A typical HTML tag
<p>Content</p>The tag above represents a paragraph
HTML
A typical HTML tag
<p>Content</p>This is the opening tag.
It always starts with a tag name ('p' in this case).
HTML tags always start with a < and end with a >
HTML
A typical HTML tag
<p>Content</p>This is the closing tag.
Most (but not all) HTML tags have a closing tag.
Closing tags always start with a forward slash ( / )
followed by the tag name.
HTML
A typical HTML tag
<p>Content</p>This is the content of the tag.
The content appears between the opening and closing tags. This is the content that will appear on your page.
HTML
Add content to the <body>
We write elements (content wrapped in tags) to the document's body
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Content</p>
</body>
</html>HTML
Elements Without Closing Tags
Some tags don't have closing tags.
Tags such as image do not enclose any content
(in the case of an image, it points to the location of a file) ...
So it doesn't need an opening and closing tag.
<img src="picture.jpg" />
Note: the / at the end is optional
HTML
Hierarchy In HTML
<section>
<p>
Some text in a paragraph.
<a href="http://www.cbc.ca">CBC</a>
</p>
</section>HTML tags can be nested inside on another.
HTML is represented as a tree. That means you can put tags inside other tags as their content. The outer tag is the parent and the inner tag(s) are the children.
HTML
Common Element Types
Inline text elements
Text wrappers
Content containers

<a> <em> <strong>
<p> <h1> to <h6> <li>
<header> <footer> <main> <section> <article> <nav>
<ul> <ol>
