Learning CSS


CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is the coding language that gives a website its look and layout. Along with HTML, CSS is fundamental to web design. Without it, websites would still be plain text on white backgrounds. Before the development of CSS in 1996 by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web pages were extremely limited in both form and function. Early browsers presented a page as hypertext - plain text, images and links to other hypertext pages. There was no layout at all to speak of, merely paragraphs running across the page in a single column. CSS allowed several innovations to webpage layout, such as the ability to: Specify fonts other than the default for the browser Specify color and size of text and links Apply colors to backgrounds Contain webpage elements in boxes and float those boxes to specific positions on the page They put the "style" in style sheets, and for the first time, Web pages could be designed. The first commercial browser to read and utilize CSS was Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3 in 1998. To this day, support for certain CSS functions varies from browser to browser. The W3C, which still oversees and creates Web standards, recently released a new standard for CSS - CSS3. With CSS3, developers hope that all major browsers will read and display every CSS function in the same way.

Learning Bootstrap!!!


I learned Bootstrap in my advanced web dev course at Lakeshore Technical College. It is by far my favorite framework to use!!! C-henri.com, Colonial Motel and Henri's Blog are all created using Bootstrap and Bootstrap components.

Learning HTML


HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content. Other technologies besides HTML are generally used to describe a web page's appearance/presentation (CSS) or functionality/behavior (JavaScript). "Hypertext" refers to links that connect web pages to one another, either within a single website or between websites. Links are a fundamental aspect of the Web. By uploading content to the Internet and linking it to pages created by other people, you become an active participant in the World Wide Web.
