Hinweis der Redaktion
To get started you need nothing more than a text editor and a Web browser to complete the assignments that follows.
To begin coding you need two things a Site to Host your website and a domain. Hosting a site means having a space on a server that can contain your website. The domain is your www. Address. For this class I have already started a web host and domain.
Lets gets started: Sign in to www.x10hosting.com. This sign in using the username: -pechakucha4coding@gmail.com. Password: codingclass (lowercase c). Our domain is www.learncoding@x10hosting.com.
Now download a simple text editor which you will use to write your code. For PC download Notepad ++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.7.4.html ; for MAC download Text Wrangle http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.html
HTML:
Web pages are text files written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Markup language is a language that describes the content and structure of a document by identifying different elements in the document.
HTML and Stlye Sheets:
The exact appearance of an each page element is decribed in a separate document known as a style sheet.
In other words it’s the code used to make the webpage look pretty.
We will not be covering style sheets in this presentation.
Structure of an HTML Document:
Writing code for a webpage is just like writing a paper, you have specific “elements” that are needed in order for others, in this case the web browser, to recognize your document.
Like in a paper you need a Introduction, in HTML referred to as the <head>; the body as the <body> and the closing as the <footer>
To begin writing for your webpage you start with:
<!DOCTYPE html>---This indicates the type of document
Please enter this into your text editor now
Then type <html>----This is the opening html tag
Note each tag you write has an opening and a closing.
Opening tags look like: <head> <body>
Closing tags look like:</head> </body>
To Add a Title to Your Web Page:
Beneath <html>
Enter <head>
<title> Im Learning Coding </title>
</head>
Structure of the Page Body:
Body can contain:
<article>
<aside>
<footer>
<header>
<nav>
<section>
Think of the structural elements similar to a magazine layout.
Now return to text editor as type under the closing of </head>, type <body>:
<header>
</header>
<section>
</section>
<footer>
</footer>
Close with </body>
In <header> we will add:
<h1> Welcome to Learning Coding</h1>
<h2>I’m doing it</h2>
Then close with </header>
In <section> enter a new line, with:
<p> (indicates a paragraph) Type:
I’m taking a Pecha Kacha class on Coding. I’m learning that the basic concepts to writing coding are very simple. I hope to continue my education in coding and learn to design a great website for personal or business purposes.
Then close with </p>
Close section with </section>
In the footer is a great place to put any closing information or contact information. We will add in the footer section:
<footer>
<address> 6 minute coding, USA,
Close with:</address>
</footer>
Then close the entire <body> section right after closing the footer with: </body>
To Insert a Image:
Locate an image or picture on your computer. Record the file name.
In side the <section> add:
<img src=”filename.png” alt=”The File Name” />
Where file name is located type the name of the document with correct ending file type (ex. .gif, .tiff, .png, etc)
To Add Hypertext:
Go to <h1> Learning Coding </h1>
Then type: <a href=”learn.htm”>Learning Coding</a>
It will look like: <h1><a href=”learn.htm”>Learning Coding</a></h1>
This will take you to a page that I created for the purposes of this tutorial.
