Day 1: Computer Setup, HTML, and Gear Up

HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites: Chapters 1 and 2

On a website, what is the purpose of HTML code? HTML describes the structure of pages. HTML elements tell the browser something about the information that sits between the opening and closing tags.
What is the difference between an element and a tag? HTML elements are made up of tags; an element comprises the opening tag and the closing tag and any content that lies between them.
Why do we use attributes in HTML elements? Attributes provide additional information about the contents of an element.

Using Google Aggressively: I think of all the ways my life would be different if I didn’t know how to write a search query. From finding directions to my hostel in the developing world, or when I’m, looking for a song that I just caught the lyrics to in a coffee shop, or the moments when I felt hopelessly out-of-my depth at work and turned to the internet for answers. Years of experience have taught me how to word my queries in different ways and which words will usually return the results I’m after. This ties into the idea of having grit, and knowing how to move forward toward an answer in any given situation.

Recognize that the hard part of freelancing isn’t writing the code. It’s everything else: I’ve worked as a freelancer, and I can confirm that the work you do e

Areas of Emphasis

What was your learning focus this inning? What technical and communication skills did you want to grow? Do you feel like you've achieved those goals?

I understand that most developer's jobs entail working with array prototypes and forms. I really wanted to ensure that I was comfortable using array and object prototypes to access data within large and/or complex data structures. I feel like I can now adequately assess what array prototype is appropriate to use when navigating a complex data structure.

Self-Evaluation

Your Gitflow is Probably not up to Snuff.

So, you're a new developer and you've decided that you want to be an open source contributor. Cool, this is probably one of the first times you'll work on a code base where the architecture is unfamiliar. It's a beautiful and mysterious world. You fork the repo, clone it down, install the dependencies, and then you're faced with your nemesis, Git. I know of a lot of developers and engineers who detest Git. For these people, when Git is coupled with GitHub; version control is a match made in hell. And yeah, it makes sense, the command line is a dark and scary place where you don't get a lot of a feedback, changes are permanent, and mistakes can be difficult to correct - the fear is real and well-founded. However, when Git and Github are leveraged effectively, these tools are an incredibly important part of web development. Working on an open source codebase can magnify Git risk and fears. Now if you make a mistake as a contributor, someone else might see them. Th
