Web Development 101 – The Basics Editor’s note: This is part 1 of a guest post by Bryan J. Brown. Part 2 will be posted on July 30. If you’ve been paying attention to the librarian blog scene at all, you’re probably familiar with the infamous “Should librarians learn to code?” debate. Maybe “debate” isn’t the best way to describe it; it’s more like a dead horse that bloggers give a few extra whacks to every couple of months. I can certainly understand why some people wouldn’t want to learn to code, it looks pretty scary from the outside. Baby Steps Enough already with this propaganda, you get my point: code good, fear bad. Writing HTML and CSS is definitely “coding”, but it doesn’t have the complex logical skills of true “programming” (although it will teach you some basic skills that will come in handy later if you end up doing some real “programming”, like how to use a text editor or connect to a server). Be sure to read part 2 of this post, Beyond the Basics, next Tuesday, July 30. Like this: Like Loading...

HTML hasn't been around for many years. Here are some important facts about why web pages are so useful! They are a low-cost and easy way to spread information to a large audience. Throughout this tutorial, we will be using several terms that are unique to HTML. Tag - Used to tag or "mark-up" pieces of text. For now, just understand that a tag a piece of code that acts as a label that a web browser interprets, an element is a complete tag with an opening and closing tag, and an attribute is a property value that customizes or modifies an HTML element.
Smashing Coding Advertisement Howdy, folks! Welcome to the new incarnation of Smashing Magazine’s Q&A. It’s going to work like this: you send in questions you have about CSS, and at least once a month we’ll pick out the best questions and answer them so that everyone can benefit from the exchange. Your question could be about a very specific problem you are having, or it could be a question about philosophical approach. We’ve done a bit of this before with a wider scope, so if you enjoy reading the Q&A, check out my author archive for more of them. Box Sizing Question from Brad Frost: What are your thoughts on Paul Irish’s idea to apply box-sizing: border-box to every element on the page? An armchair critic of this technique would whine about the performance of the universal selector (*). For the record, the complete and recommended syntax is this: With this, you essentially get perfect browser support in everything — even the vast majority of mobile Webkits.

What is HTML? What are CSS, JavaScript, PHP and Perl? Do I Need to Learn Them to Create a Website? Do I Need to Learn Them to Create a Website? by Christopher Heng, thesitewizard.com I'm sometimes asked by visitors thinking of starting their own website what terms like "HTML", "CSS", "JavaScript", "PHP" and "Perl" mean. Or, on occasion, their questions on some other topic show that they have misunderstood the meaning of these words. This article explains the terms and discusses what knowledge is actually necessary for creating a website. What is HTML? When you write a normal document using a word processor like Microsoft Word/Office, your text is saved in a file with a special format. In the same way, web pages are simply strings of words put in a special format that web browsers are able to display. This is an example paragraph to illustrate what HTML is, for the purpose of explaining common terms like HTML, JavaScript and PHP. If you were to peek into the raw code for the above words, you will see the following: Do I Need to Learn HTML to Start My Own Website? What is CSS?
Mozilla Developer Network: 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. HTML uses "markup" to annotate text, images, and other content for display in a Web browser. An HTML element is set off from other text in a document by "tags", which consist of the element name surrounded by "<" and ">". The articles below can help you learn more about HTML.
Starting with HTML + CSS This short tutorial is meant for people who want to start using CSS and have never written a CSS style sheet before. It does not explain much of CSS. It just explains how to create an HTML file, a CSS file and how to make them work together. After that, you can read any of a number of other tutorials to add more features to the HTML and CSS files. Or you can switch to using a dedicated HTML or CSS editor, that helps you set up complex sites. At the end of the tutorial, you will have made an HTML file that looks like this: The resulting HTML page, with colors and layout, all done with CSS. Note that I don't claim that this is beautiful ☺ Sections that look like this are optional. Step 1: writing the HTML For this tutorial, I suggest you use only the very simplest of tools.

HTML Help and Tutorial for Kids How does a Web page work? Well, the odds are you're sitting at your computer looking at this Web page through a browser. Most likely you're using a browser called Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox, or Safari. A browser is a computer software program that can take you to different places on the Web by typing in the URL of a Web page and clicking "go" or "enter" on your keyboard.
