Introduction
Intro To Coding
This walkthrough is meant to give you an introductory experience to building a website with a single page. We will explain the basic ideas of what is happening, but there will not be any technical in-depth explanations - don't worry, no jumping in to the deep end here!
❓ If you have questions as you walk through this project, please don't hesitate to ask the instructor or one of the TAs! We'll be happy to answer your questions, but don't be surprised if we ask you to perform some basic Google searches to find the answer. There isn't a programmer anywhere in the world who knows how to do everything, we're always Googling stuff like "HTML how to display image".
To Get Started
During this class we will use a program named "Visual Studio Code", often simply referred to as "VS Code". VS Code is a very popular code editor that makes programming easier, it is completely free and offered by Microsoft. VS Code works on both Windows and MAC (and even Linux!), and is one of the industry leading choices for developers. If you haven't already done so, install VS Code from the download page before continuing.
What We Will Build
We will build a simple "About Me" website with one webpage.
If you are a complete beginner, we encourage you to copy and paste most of the code you will see.
If you have prior experience, challenge yourself to write this code yourself without making any typos.
Check out the finished product in these photos below. As we create this webpage, feel free to change the wording to reflect your personal interests & details!
