Term 1 - Week 1
Introduction
Welcome to Code Club 2019/20! We're really glad you're here, and hope that you enjoy the coding projects we're about to all do together.
So some of you have coded before, which is great! But some of you perhaps haven't... which is OK too :)
To kick us off, let's have a quick look at how we're going to make the most of Code Club. Any questions, just ask!
HTML/CSS - Happy Birthday & Tell a Story
We are going to start with HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Stylesheets). Basically, the languages that help us to build web pages, and make them look nice!
We code in an online tool called 'Trinket' - when you start a project, it get's a unique URL; this is useful to save your code!
Skills:
- Tags - understand how to structure your page;
- Styling - using a CSS file;
- Inserting images - from a set resource, or from the web;
- Fonts - changing the font to suit your style;
- Duplication - reusing blocks of code to give you want you want on your page.
Don't forget...
What to do when you're done:
- Copy the URL of your Trinket page in to a file on the student drive;
- Err, that's about it!
