My First Web Page

First, let's talk about the basics of HTML.

You create a webpage using three basic components: HTML, CSS and lanugagues such as JavaScript, jQuery or PHP. What do they each do? Here are the building blocks:

HTML: creates the content of your web pages
CSS: styles how the web pages look including layout, color and font
JavaScript: adds interactivity to your pages by programming behavior
PHP: adds even more interactivity including form processing

One of the coolesting things about web pages is the ability to be able to create links between information and to include media elements like images, video and audio. All the while being able to format the content so it looks good and, even more important, is easy to use!

I want a photo of Steve Jobs here....how do I do that???

And now I want a button that goes to the MS Coding websites.

Let's talk about all the formatting we can do using CSS. It is really pretty awesome.

You can make headings of all types...see...

this is a big heading

This is kind of a big heading

Now we are getting more medium sized

And even more medium

And smaller

And very smaller

You can also make lists. Either just bullet points. Like this.

Cats
Dogs
Fish
Gerbils

Or numbered ones to keep track!

Summer
Fall
Spring
Winter

You can also format text to be bold,, capitlize, All Caps line through, underlinedsuper big, super small, and other things.

Like putting a shadow around a word

You can space words far apart!

You can space letters far apart!

Finally, tables can come in really useful if you want to organize data in a nice tidy grid. Which can sometimes be awesome. Let's say we want to organize the types of programming languages.

Name	Platform	Easy to Learn	Description
HTML	Website	Yes	Not really a lanuage - more like a template.
JavaScript	Website	Sort of	Used to just be a scripting lanuague but is now a full blown language used to add actions to websites.
PHP	Websites	Sort of	Called the "toothpaste" of programming tools - it is really useful - especially for forms. Can use it anywhere!
Python	Backend	Yes	An easy to learn, yet advanced programming language. Used for the backend.
Swift	Apps	No	Used to create native apps for iOS devices.

Okay, let's wrap it up by adding a footer with a copyright at the bottom. Cool?
