It's draw time

Instructions:

  1. Draw the hierarchy of your family tree (or any family tree)
  2. Apply the principles of a family tree and draw the hierarchy of an HTML document. Use the members of the family as a guide. Apply HTML elements to your tree.
  3. REVIEW: WHAT IS THE DOM?
  4. REVIEW: HOW IS A FAMILY TREE SIMILAR TO THE DOM?
  5. REVIEW: HOW IS A FAMILY TREE DIFFERENT FROM THE DOM?

LET's BUILD TOGETHER...

Your turn:

  1. Add information that would be on your business card
  2. Wrap that information in html tags that are appropriate

  3. Use the following tags:

    1. h1, h2, p, strong, ul, ol, li, a 

  4. If you are stuck, look up the tag

Together, let's:

  1.  Declare the doctype
  2. Create the basic structure of an html document

Using 'Developer Tools' to Apply our styles risk-free

Let's spin up our business cards in the browser and inspect the page

  1. Add a style rule in the browser
  2. Copy that style rule
  3. Paste it into your text editor
  4. Link your styles to an external stylesheet

Opportunity for Self-Direction

Following our browser-text-editor-back-to-browser workflow, experiment with styling your Business cards and adding content.

 

Let's get comfortable with the process of jumping between the browser and our files. This is THE process for web development.

 

Bonus: Add an image.
