Sorry.
SO, WHAT IS CODING?
Where does HTML come in?
START
WITH
CONTENT
THEN ADD CONTEXT
WHEN YOU BUILD A HOUSE...

TOO MUCH CSS
choose your flavour

How does HTML work?
<>
These are called angle brackets
Text inside of angle brackets is an HTML tag.
Everything else is just text.
<p>This is normal text surrounded by an HTML tag .</p>
A closing tag has a forward slash.
This whole thing is an HTML element.
Let's LOOK AT SOME CODE
<h1>Don Burks</h1> <section> <p><em>Bio:</em> Head Instructor of Lighthouse Labs</p>
<p><em>E-mail:</em> don@lighthouselabs.ca</p> </section>
<h1> : Defines a heading on the page.
<section> : Creates a section of related content.
<em>: Emphasizes text.
<p> : Creates a paragraph of text.
There are many types of HTML elements, including:
<SECTION>, <HEADER>, <STRONG>, <FOOTER>
EACH ELEMENT HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC ROLE
We've learned about tags and elements.
Nesting
How do we write code?

LEt's take a look at ATOM
Attributes
Attributes
ATTRIBUTE EXAMPLE
Here's a normal header element:
SRC
Attribute
The
src
attribute is how we get
CAT PICTURES
Used within the < img > element
<img
src="
http://images.com/cute_kitteh.jpg" />

LESSON #2
css
HTML defines the elements on a webpage
CSS defines the design of those elements.
Structure: Remember our house's scaffolding?
Defining block of content that should go within another block, etc.
Design: Our house's paint and decor.
How those blocks should actually look:
what colour they are, how big they are, etc.
browsers already have css
CSS is a two-step process
1. It targets an element on a page.
2. It applies styles ("properties") to it.
Common CSS properties include:
color, font-size, text-align
NOW LET'S CREATE THE CSS
DIVING DEEPER INTO THE CSS
What does an ID do?
how do you Add an id?
okay, what about in css?
When we start a selector with a pound-sign,
we tell CSS to target elements with a given id:
ID vs class attribute
how do we visualize classes?

class attribute
What else can you do with css?
CSS3
stylistic control
Animations
deadly when
used in combination
with html5 & css3
