Day 1: Computer Setup, HTML, and Gear Up

Read Chapters 1 and 2 from Structure and Text

On a website, what is the purpose of HTML code?
HTML code is the language that describes the structure of web pages. It defines items such as headings, sub-headings, paragraphs, and body of texts.
What is the difference between an element and a tag?
Elements are the characters that are inside angled brackets. Elements are usually made up of two tags - an opening tag and a closing tag. The closing tag has an extra forward slash in it. Each element tells the browser something about the information that sits between its opening and closing tags. The terms are often used interchangeably; however, an element comprises the opening tag and the closing tag and any content tha tlies between them.
Why do we use attributes in HTML elements?
Attributes tell more about elements and provide additional information about the content of an element.

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?
- If I had to say what I thought my greatest strenght is, I'd say that I am very good at working in a team atmosphere, whether in a support role, or in a leadership role. I was the lead trainer in my previous job, which required me to both lead and collaborate with others among the team. I felt effective in the role as I saw positive results with new hires and new methods of training. I was also told by many of my superiors and colleagues that I was good at what I did. The PAIRIN results were not far off from my own view. PAIRIN says my strongest category is CIVIC, saying I am attuned to social and emotional cues, and that I am adept at interacting with highly effectives teams.

Beginner's Guide to Git

Understanding Git will help you "Git With It" when it comes to software development!

There are two main things to know about Git:

Local Use
Remote Use

Local Use

Git is a system to use that helps track and save changes made to a file or a project. Files can range from anything to simple text, to videos and photos, to pages of software code. For students of Turing, we are given a Mac, so here I will be discussing how to use the Mac Terminal to perform git actions locally. There are several important functions of git to understand:

git init

git init is the command to tell git to start tracking a particular file. Once initialized, git can then track everything within the directory. In the terminal, it will look like this:

	What feedback did you get on Dog Party today? What was your biggest takeaway?
	Dustin- Got the entire project completed with some holes. Do the workflow as it's given to you instead of getting ahead of yourself and adding extra things.
	Kevin- Format my HTML better, get more used to working with js. Do the work they ask of you in the order they ask you and try not to add to much on your own.

	Goals and Expectations for the Project (You don't know the details of the project yet. But as you go into any project, how do YOU define success?)
	Stick to the iteration without deviating too much. Get useful practice and knowledge out of the project. To be able to
