I’m starting my 100 days of coding challenge today meaning by April 16, 2020 this challenge will be complete.
Currently I’m sitting in a hostel in Thailand deciding what else I can do to change the direction of my life. I don’t want to remain in the banking field anymore but instead be able to work remotely. This might be my ticket.
I have no experience with coding at all but seeing so many people start this challenge has inspired me to learn myself. I’ve always been curious how things work in the background of programs and websites.
Let’s go!
Things I have learned today:
- HTML tags <h><h1><h2><p>
- Commenting on HTML code by using <!— before and —-> after
- HTML5 embodies new HTML tags called <main><header><footer><nav><video><article><section>
- <IMG SRC=“”> Element and adding the ALT text for screen readers
- <a href> a elements need a destination web address called an href attribute. The A is called an anchor element.
- Internal links: I can have a link jump to somewhere else on the page by assigning an ID to an element I want to jump to and using a hash #. Example: <a href = #footer>Jump to Bottom</a>
