HTML Intermediate

Image
New stuff learnt in the HTML Intermediate course today. I was introduced to the table element which allows us to create nifty tables such as the one below. Pretty cool exercise. Application of Table Elements (tr, th, td) Things to note:  <thead> and <tbody> are elements that do not have a visible function, but just for easier reference.  If you hold down CTRL and click on various lines, you spawn various cursors, which is useful for editing several lines of codes simultaneously. Eg. adding width="100" to <img>

HTML Beginner - Front End

Image
So over the past two days (since 10 April 2017), I've been busy juggling work along with my first actual lesson where coding was utilised (WOW!!). I've been learning beginner HTML which is conveniently described as the noun to a frontend of a webpage, i.e. defining objects and assigning their roles (from what I can gather in layman's terms). Here's some pictures of what I've learnt so far. (Nothing fanciful yet, but it's a great start for a caveman like me). Application of Basic Elements (Headings, Lists, Paragraphs, Bold, Italics, Span, Div) Application of More Elements (img, href) Next up on the plate would be Intermediate HTML!
Just putting out a how-to link on becoming a full-stack developer. I came across this term and have no idea what it meant at first, but it seems an interesting goal to aspire to. I guess I really have to push myself and hope for the best. There's this saying my friend taught me that goes "reach for the stars, if you fail, you still land on the moon" which means I'll still be pretty good even if I didn't turn out the way I envisioned it to be. https://usersnap.com/blog/how-to-become-a-full-stack-developer/
So, I've decided to pick up programming from scratch, as I am a total noob at this. I've been running my own online F&B business for a few months now, and I just would like to expand my skillset to better serve the business, as well to act as a safety net of some sorts. Who knows what opportunities I may open myself to once I'm done with my learning? I first started checking out various physical web development bootcamps both locally and overseas, but the costs were very prohibitive along with the time commitment. As much as I value the knowledge these courses can offer, unfortunately I find it painful to fork out tens of thousands for such courses (Maybe in the future, I can charge the same to teach people). Thankfully, after some days of searching, I've managed to come across a Udemy course which I paid peanuts for in comparison to what I'm about to learn. My friend who took an IT degree in Uni said that if I pulled through this, I could end up being better
