Relative path syntax

./ Start from the same directory the current file is in.

../ Start from the parent directory of (the directory "above") the current file.

/ Start from the project's root directory.

Why write alt text?

1. Make your site accessible.
2. Fallback if the image doesn't render properly.
3. Helps your site rank higher on Google.

Writing good alt texts

1. Don't include "image of".
2. be concise (< 125 characters).
3. Describe it "over the phone".

Why learn inheritance?

1. Write DRYer code.
2. Fewer bugs.
3. Be more efficient.

Git vs. GitHub

Git

• Version control system.
• Runs locally on your own machine.
• Helps keep a history of changes you've made to your project.

GitHub

• Online platform that stores Git repositories.
• Runs online in the cloud.
• Helps share your code (and the history of changes) with others.
• A cloud-based SaaS product. Now owned by Microsoft.
• Used for sharing your code with others.
• Assumes the usage of the Git version control system.
• Has many Git-based capabilities built into it (committing, merging, branching, etc.).

Version Control

• Creates "save points" (called Commits) in your code that you can revert back to if needed.
• Manages changes made by others by "merging" multiple different versions of the same codebase.
• Generally allows you to be less worried about making mistakes or having your code conflict with other people working on the same project.
