The most interesting topic to date by far was learning the HTML language and
along with it, visual studio code. While I went through HTML in the previous cohort that
I was in in 2016, but now I feel as though I have a more thorough understanding of how
it works. Consequently, it seems so much easier. I don’t doubt that it is in direct
relationship to the fact that I’m repeating it. Maybe it’s just the right time and I’m really
grateful for that.
The thing about learning HTML that remains the challenging is the fact that there
are so many steps that make it function properly. But it seems more, almost therapeutic
and systematic. This is not an easy task as I have to keep track of all the steps, but if I
don’t, it won’t work. It’s a fun challenge. And learning all of the commands in visual
studio code can make my experience so much smoother, so I’m up up for it..
What’s great about HTML is that with it, one can create a website. I would refer
people to w3 schools if they were going to begin a website from scratch as it contains
many possible commands for HTML along with other instructions for other coding
languages. When beginning to code with VSC, you must tell the program what type of
language you’ll be using by detailing what type of “skeleton” to create. In my case it
would be “index.html” (version 5 as this is the most up to date version.). This will make
the code you are writing more intuitive for VSC and thus many of the commands will
only need a letter or two, then wil be auto generated for you. This is not to say you dont
need to know how to instruct the computer, but the computer will be familiar with the
repeditave commands and will therefore complete many tasks for you, or remind you to
do it, as thats the way the system works.
