Hello Hashnode community!
Today marks the fourth day of my full-stack development journey, and it has been both productive and insightful. Here’s a summary of what I’ve learned and accomplished:
1. Discovered Emmet.io and HTML Cheatsheet
I came across emmet.io, an amazing tool that speeds up HTML and CSS workflow. The website also has a comprehensive HTML cheatsheet, which I found incredibly helpful for quick references and learning new tags and attributes. Emmet’s shortcuts are a game-changer for writing efficient and clean code.
2. Understanding HTML Tag Relationships
I delved into the relationships between different HTML tags, such as parent, child, and sibling tags. This understanding is crucial for structuring web pages correctly and ensuring that the elements are nested properly for both functionality and styling purposes.
3. Deep Dive into HTML5
I learned about HTML5 and its significant upgrades from older versions. This includes new JavaScript APIs, enhanced multimedia support, and better storage capabilities. HTML5 is not just about new tags; it's about providing richer content on the web with better user experience and interactivity.
4. Experimented with the Video Tag
Today's hands-on experience involved the <video> tag. I experimented with embedding different videos and links, ensuring they played correctly in the browser. This practical application helped solidify my understanding of HTML5’s multimedia capabilities.
5. Read a Beginner’s Guide to HTML5
I read an insightful article, A Beginner's Guide to HTML5, which provided a great overview of HTML5’s features and advantages. This article is highly recommended for anyone looking to get a solid introduction to HTML5.
6. Learned About HTML Entities for Copyright and Trademark Symbols
Finally, I explored the use of HTML entities for the copyright symbol (©), registered trademark symbol (®), and trademark symbol (™). These entities are essential for protecting content and ensuring proper attribution, which is especially important for web content creators and businesses.
