This week, I received feedback on my first coding assignment. I created what is called an “ugly website”. This website is supposed to be a no frills website that gives a glimpse at the foundations of creating content on the web. There were several challenges in that I had to incorporate particular coding and file structure. For example, the files created for the website have to be named in such a way that when the webpage is displayed by the browser, it is easy to reference the source file name. This means no spaces or capital letters when naming files and folders.
The challenge to me was remembering how to use specific tags in the code. A tag is a word surrounded by karat brackets such as <br> and <hr>. Knowing what each of these do, is the challenge. All websites have a head and a body indicated by the tags <head> and <body>. It is vital that each tag is closed with the closing tag. The closing tag has a backwards slash before the name of the tag like </body>.
