The 3 behaviors that resonated with me are Say "I don't know.", Take responsibility for your mistakes, and Always code review your own work first. These likely resonated with me because I have some experience with these behaviors.

I've had a little experience writing code in college and at my previous job, but I am a beginner. The few things I do know are far outweighed by the vast amount of things that I don't know. Whether in school or in a job after school, I'm going to get used to saying "I don't know" when that is the case.

  1. HTML is used to give web pages a structure, or layout, and to add extra meaning to the words on a webpage.
  2. A tag is an instruction given to content on a webpage, enclosed in angle brackets (<>). The opening and closing tags let websites know where to begin and end each instruction. Each element is usually made up of an opening tag, the content, and the closing tag.
  3. Attributes are used to give further meaning to the content of a webpage, such as color and font.
  4. The head contains information about the webpage. The title contains the title of the page, shown in the browswer bar title or tab. The body contains information shown in the browswer window.
  5. To view a page's source in Chrome, right-click the webpage, and choose View page source.
  6. <title></title> is a title element, and it represents the title of the webpage. <b></b> is a bold element, and it bolds the text between the tags. <i></i> is an italics element, and it italicizes the text between the tag
