You don’t have to
be a Web ninja
to understand Web
development basics.

Code is a series of logical
questions and answers

So, let’s answer some
questions …

Hypertext Markup Language
Hypertext Markup Language describes:
- Structure
- Content
- Typographic hierarchy
- Rudimentary style (bold, italics, etc.)
What is HTML?

HTML Document
It might feel chaotic and unstructured …
But the entire content of the page exists here.

Cascading Style Sheets
- Separates style from content
- Easier to change formatting and update an entire Web site
- Eliminates page load
- Flexible design
- Better user accessibility for search bots and screen readers
- Allows you to design for multiple browsers and multiple Operating
System (Linux, PC or Mac) environments
What is CSS?

-HTML is used for content and structure
-HTML houses scripting languages and behaviors
-CSS separates style from content
-CSS helps screen readers and users with disabilities read real content
HTML vs. CSS Review
Speaking of accessibility …

A brief intro to
accessibility

When building a Web site
consider accessibility
issues for users, search
engines and mobile
applications

Search bot/screen reader:
Video on Screen Readers and Accessibility

There are several things
you can do to create good
experiences for all users:

Write good, descriptive
headlines

Write descriptive links
Don’t say ‘click here!’

Ready to start
writing HTML and CSS?
Who needs fancy schmancy software? We don’t!

Create a folder called ‘Web’
on your desktop

In that folder, create a new
folder called ‘style’

Open a text editor:
Text Wrangler, Text Edit or even Word is fine.

Save a new document as ‘index.html’
You just created a homepage.
And added content.

HTML has open and close brackets,
which are called tags:
<b>Content goes here</b> Result: Content goes here
<i>Content goes here</i> Result: Content goes here
For a complete list, go to W3Schools.org
<font color=”blue”>Content</font> Result: Content

Declare a ‘DOCTYPE’
DOCTYPE tells browsers which set of rules or semantics to use, what types of
tags are allowed and how strictly to follow it. XHTML 1.0 Transitional is now one of
the most common ‘DOCTYPEs’ to declare.
For a complete list, go to W3.org

Create an HTML tag
- Defines the document as <html>
- Make sure to add open and close tag
- End of the document </html>

Create an HEAD tag
- Defines header information
- Contains meta data and links to external files (such as CSS)

Create an TITLE tag
Defines Title of Web page

Create an LINK tag
A favicon is the small image that shows up in the browser
Examples:

Create META information
Add descriptive text for search engines and screen readers to read

Create CSS Link
Adding a stylesheet link will allow you to link CSS to HTML

Create a CSS file
- Create a new file called styles.css

Link HTML to CSS
Make sure that the name of the folder matches up

Add a BODY tag to the HTML page
Defines content area of the Web page

Let’s start adding content!
Between <body></body> tags, you can start to add other tags, such as
paragraphs <p></p> and headlines <h1></h1>

You’ve got a page …
But it looks kind of boring, right?

CSS Basics
p {color:#666666;}
Result: Content becomes grey
p {color:#666666;font-weight:900;}
Result: Content becomes grey and heavy bold
Target HTML tags with ‘selectors’ in CSS.
Attribute style information between the brackets.

Change ‘style’ of an HTML element:

hands dirty …
