Self-study Saturday #1 - HTML

 Today I started studying something amazing.

Udemy’s Full Stack course by Angela Yu, the founder of the London App Brewery. 

It’s a comprehensive course on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The teacher Angela is so well-spoken, articulate and supportive that learning with her is easy and truly inspiring. I’ve decided to commit every Saturday morning for this course. That is, if I can keep my hands off of it.

Things I learned today:

• HTML attributes
• Comments <!- -  - ->
• <em> is better than <i>, and <strong> is better than <b>
• Some of the biggest IT gurus have homepages only with HTML (so don’t be too ashamed of your first 90s style site). John Kleinberg is a good example.

Cool websites I discovered today:

• Codepen.io (try HTML, CSS and Javascript)
• W3schools.com (HTML codes)
• Devdocs.io (HTML codes)
• Internet Archive Wayback Machine (see how famous websites looked back in the day)
• Unicode-table.com (emojis for HTML)

With the help of the course I started building my own homepage. That was definitely the coolest thing today. So far the page only has my name and some basic information about me. Next time I will learn to create lists, build my online CV and add a picture.
