The weekly learning cycle
- Teaching – attend lectures. Listen, take notes
- Study – read recommended texts, watch videos and tutorials
- Reflect – make notes based on studies. Write “what I learned” blog posts
- Practice – complete project tasks to practise what you have learned. Seek support if needed
- Feedback – make notes on how to improve
HTML points to bear in mind
- <br> and <hr> – to use or not to use? They are used for presentational purposes. If so, then why bother using them if you can then just style in CSS (say by creating border-bottom lines?). Best not to use.
- Don’t necessarily need to indent the <head> and <body>, but it’s a good idea for ease of viewing.
- NEVER add anything to your code that you don’t understand.
- Always make alt text as clear for screen readers as possible.
- NO inline CSS or <head> <style> CSS!
- By default an img should always have a height and a width. But are they considered presentational and therefore irrelevant? However, height and width has a specific function. The browser then knows how much space to reserve for the image. Otherwise, all the text jiggles about as the image loads, which is very annoying.
