Continuing on with an overview of the 8 weeks of the course so far. By week 3, on the Client Side module, we were well into HTML & were being introduced to CSS. While I was reasonably familiar with HTML prior to starting the course, CSS was a little more challenging at first. We started with in-line styling, i.e. setting style attributes within the HTML markup, using it to adjust the font colour (pronounced 'color' in CSS), font size, alignment & background color. My first 'styled' web page was for a coffee shop & looked something like this: (it looks like the background color attributes for the blog supersede the same style attributes set within the markup of the post, I'll have to see if I can figure out a way around that. Edit: just put a div inside the body tags & applied the style to the div). Ok, it's not going to win any design awards, but at this stage of the course it was cool to see some output from what we were learning.
In the Intro To Computing & Web Technologies module, Week 3 saw us introduced to the fundamentals of data organisation as a precursor to getting into MySql. While with the Server Side module, the subject of the project was broached, bringing a nervous reaction from a good portion of the class.
