"I'm officially employed as a full-time software engineer... well, technically, the role is "consultant" and the position is "software engineer"!   I started my journey in Leon's last cohort as a single mom, an unemployed real estate agent during the pandemic, with two awesome kids, a noisy little dog, and a BIG DREAM.

Those of you on the other side of 40: you can do this. Listen to everything Leon tells you to do and then just do it. Those of you with family obligations: just keep going... take needed breaks, find support where you can get it. Those of you with mental health profiles: I hear you loud and clear (GAD/SAD, unmedicated). Neurodiverse folx: my peeps  we're all in it together and we've got this!

There are so many people who helped me keep going, I don't want to name names because I'm sure I'll forget super-important folx (I'm on a lunch break and have to do tons of stuff). But I mean this sincerely: I am eternally grateful for my cohort friends and our amazing, dedicated teacher @Leon."

CONGRATS! OCC (Jennifer)!

The Golden Rule

SEPERATION OF CONCERNS

  • HTML = Content / Structure

  • CSS = Style

  • JS = Behavior / Interaction

CSS

Where does CSS go?

  • Inline

  • In the head

  • In a separate file

CSS BREAK DOWN

p{
  color: red;
  font-weight: bold;
}

What is this?

p{
  color: red;
  font-weight: bold;
}
p{
  color: blue;
}

CSS is read top to bottom

 

What comes below, can override what came above

 

This is called the Cascade

Selecting By Relationship

section > p {
  color: red;
}

To select an element that is the direct descendent of another element use

parent > child

<section>
  <p>Hello, Twitch!</p>
</section>

Selecting By Relationship

section p {
  color: red;
}

To select an element that is inside of another element without being directly descended use parent element 

parent child

<section>
  <article>
    <p>Hello, Twitch!</p>
  </article>
</section>

Selecting By Relationship

p + p {
  color: red;
}

To select an element that is the next sibling use

 

previous sibling + next sibling

<section>
  <p>Hello, Twitch!</p>
  <p>Hello, Youtube!</p>
</section>

IDs & Classes

IDs

#zebra {
  color: red;
}

IDs are used for selecting distinct elements

Only one id with the same value per document

#idName

<section>
  <p>Hello, Twitch!</p>
  <p id="zebra">Hello, Youtube!</p>
</section>

Classes

.bob {
  color: red;
}

Classes are for selecting multiple elements

Multiple with same value allowed per document

.className

<section>
  <p class="robot">Hello, Twitch!</p>
  <p id="zebra" class="bob">Hello, Youtube!</p>
  <p class="bob">Goodbye, Mixer!</p>
</section>

Specificity

#pizza p span.gone {
  color: red;
}
<section id="pizza">
  <p class="jumanjiOriginalMovie">Hello, Twitch!</p>
  <p id="car" class="hello">Hello, Youtube!</p>
  <p>Goodbye, <span class="gone">Mixer!</span></p>
</section>

Specificity

#dietCoke p.robot.unicorn + .bob {
  color: red;
}
<section id="dietCoke">
  <p class="robot unicorn">Hello, Twitch!</p>
  <p id="zebra" class="bob dominosPizza">Hello, Youtube!</p>
  <p class="bob">Goodbye, Mixer!</p>
</section>

Specificity

#dietCoke > .robot + .dominosPizza + .bob {
  color: red !important;
}
<section id="dietCoke">
  <p class="robot unicorn">Hello, Twitch!</p>
  <p id="zebra" class="bob dominosPizza">Hello, Youtube!</p>
  <p class="bob">Goodbye, Mixer!</p>
