I wrote this to consolidate my materials for my trainings. I'm putting it up on gitbook but I can't to call it a book yet. This makes for a convenient reference and I can continuously improve it together with my readers.
This "book"...
- Introduces the concepts of HTML and CSS
- Learn the popular front-end framework Bootstrap
- Shows actual code examples
- Gives some challenging exercises
- Provides good online references
This was written for those who are completely unfamiliar with the things involved in creating web pages. I will not be covering Computer Science topics. It's made to be as succinct as possible. If you're looking for a complete reference for each topic, the recommended places for each are:
Before reading, there are a few simple requirements. You must know how to:
- Search for stuff online
- Use a text editor
If this is something you're really pursuing, you'll seriously be doing a lot of searching. An error? How to do something? You'll likely end up in Stack Overflow a lot.
It helps to have a good editor with autocompletion. I personally prefer Sublime Text 3 or Atom.
While reading, the process will include:
- Introducing the idea
- Showing some code
- Doing some exercise
- Providing references online for further research
I not only encourage you, I compel you to interact with the examples and do the exercises!
After reading, you're expected to be able to:
- Understand soure codes of webpages
- Create and modify HTML and CSS to a certain extent
- Find solutions on your own
