Today we went over the review for the midterm exam. During our review, Brother Curtis gave us a list of things you should know and skills you should have.
First of things we should know:
- How the www works
- server, browser, internet, docs, ets
- section, article, header, nav, -what’s new and why do we have these new elements. Why didn’t div work? Needed more specific semantic elements http://html5doctor.com/you-can-still-use-div/ http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-html5/
- html – the structure of the website
- scc – style, presentation
- div – way to divide page (container to apply style)
- section, article. ie – div di=main_content, div id=header, div id is a label
- problems -people are concerned that people will add more elements and the code will get bloated.
- we’re moving towards more meaningful elements and away from div
- what’s valid?
- the page is consistent with the standard
- first line – <!DOCTYPE html>
- head
- title
- meta charset
- body
- valid elements
- required attributes
- nesting elements
- communicates structure of docs and allows us to style
And now skills we should have:
- Markup plain text using HTML
- reference path – <img src=”
- absolute: http://www
- relative: ./images/picture.jpg
- Layout a page using CSS
- .columns {
- display: inline;
- float: left;
- width: 230px;
- margin-left: 10 px; margin-right:10px
- padding: 0px;
- background-color; #F1F1EA;
- vertical-align: top;
- #caption { text-transform: uppercase;
- font-size: 80%
- -moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);}
- .columns {
These are all things we should know and can do up to this point in our learning.
