<Web Workshop>

Webpages?!?

What are they?
Where do they live?

Also, name this cat!

Webpage

  • The webpage is a collection of .html + .css
  • We edit and save the files to make changes to our webpage
  • We view webpages on web browsers

 

Server

  • This is where our files live
  • They are computers that are built and stored somewhere
  • "Web Hosting" provides us with servers to use for our pages

hey, press the down arrow on your keyboard

Before we begin

Let's get our tools ready!

What we need

  • Web Browser
  • Text editor
  • An Idea / Topic
  • A Wireframe (a basic plan)
  • A place to host our site

Web Browser

Google Chrome is a well known Web browser. :) 

 

We use chrome to VIEW and TEST our webpage. 

 

How many of you have used Chrome before???

Click here to download it

Text Editor

Sublime Text 2

Click here to download Sublime

Atom

Click here to download Atom

We use Text Editors to WRITE our code. Writing code is how we MAKE our websites. :) 

The Keyboard

Your greatest super power!!!

hey, press the down arrow on your keyboard

Keyboard Shortcuts

hey, press the down arrow on your keyboard

HOLD CTRL and tap A to SELECT ALL

HOLD CTRL and tap C to COPY

HOLD CTRL and tap V to PASTE

Copy this text by clicking on the textbox, then using CTRL + A then CTRL + C

Paste that text by clicking on the textbox, then using CTRL + V

Moving the Cursor! 

hey, press the down arrow on your keyboard

The mouse is pretty cool... but using the arrow keys...

EVEN COOLER!!! 

 

Click on the text box below and use your arrow keys on the

keyboard to move your flashing cursor around the screen.

Oh, click anywhere off the textbox to change slides

Selecting Text with Keyboards

Cool! So when we click on a textbox we can use our arrow keys to move the cursor. 

Now, if you click on a textbox and HOLD SHIFT while you move the arrow keys... it selects text as you move. 

Give it a try below!! :D 

This will come in handy when you copy links / images from other webpages. :D 

An Idea / Topic

 

 

You can make ANYTHING

Some ideas:

  • Favorite Sports
  • Favorite TV Show
  • Favorite Cartoon
  • Spider Monkeys
  • Why your presenter is awesome

 

Just Albert Einstein just hanging out on FaceBook - LOL

Tabs in a Text Editor

Working with multiple tabs

index.html

Let's look inside

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- This a comment. Hello. It does nothing.
Well, it's used so you can explain your code to
other people reading your source code -->
<html>

  <head>
    <title>Webpage Title goes here</title> <!-- Tab title goes here -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>

  <body>

    <header class="pageHeader">
      <h1>It's a jungle out there!</h1>
    </header>

    <nav class="clintsMmenu"> <!-- class let's us edit this from style.css -->
      <a href="index.html">Home</a> <!-- a href = links to another page -->
      <a href="animals.html">Animals</a>
      <a href="dangers.html">Dangers</a>
    </nav>

    <section class="content"> <!-- look, another class! -->

      <h2>Roar! Welcome to the jungle!</h2>

      <p>Jungles are so cool! My website is going todo
      show you
      why the jungle rocks!
        Thanx for checking it out. Tell your

         friends.</p>

    </section>

  </body>

</html>

index.html

Technical stuff

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- This a comment. Hello. It does nothing.
Well, it's used so you can explain your code to
other people reading your source code -->
<html>

This bit of code tells the browser, like Chrome, that the page it is going to display is an HTML Webpage. 

index.html

<head>

<head>
  <title>Webpage Title goes here</title> <!-- Tab title goes here -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>

The <head> tag is invisible stuff. It is only used by your Browser. It has your page title and link to your CSS file

index.html

<title>

<head> 
    <title>Webpage Title goes here</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>

See, it's the name of the tab! 

index.html

<link>

<head> 
    <title>Webpage Title goes here</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>

This links our stylesheet

to our html page

index.html

<body>

<body>

  <header class="pageHeader">
    <h1>It's a jungle out there!</h1>
  </header>

  <nav class="clintsMmenu"> <!-- class let's us edit this from style.css -->
    <a href="index.html">Home</a> <!-- a href = links to another page -->
    <a href="animals.html">Animals</a>
    <a href="dangers.html">Dangers</a>
  </nav>

  <section class="content"> <!-- look, another class! -->

    <h2>Roar! Welcome to the jungle!</h2>

    <p>Jungles are so cool! My website is going todo
      show you
      why the jungle rocks!
        Thanx for checking it out. Tell your

         friends.</p>
