Summary 2

Chapters 1 and 10

Topic 1: Heading Hierarchy- All forms of written material, from newspapers to insurance forms have hierarchy within their forms which allow for readers ease in determining importance. Luckily, all of this is taken into account when doing HTML forms. HTML uses a top to bottom coding structure, and they have 6 different sizes for the header elements. This helps translate all of the possible hierarchy needs.

Topic 2: Elements- The way a programmer/designer can create beautiful web pages and have them so unique, is by creatively using the elements available. Elements are all of the objects seen on a screen. They are the headings, the images, the background colors, the borderlines, etc… These can also be referred to as tags. To start an element, you need an opening and closing tag.. A closing tag is always created using a forward slash to indicate an element’s ending; both for the computer translating it into a webpage, and for the reader. Elements are often organized in the body, main, header, and footer sections; which allows for the reader/programmer to see where it will be located once its turned into a webpage

Topic 3: CSS- CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet; and it is a way to format and make HTML code look professional/pretty. However, it is a completely different coding layout and language than HTML; mainly because it can work for multiple HTML pages at once, and the order of code doesn't matter like HTML. It allows a user to design how each element within an HTML page looks. You have various selectors which help group multiple elements together to have the same qualities, make them more important than others, or allow you to deselect or select specific elements. CSS is a very vital tool when doing web design as it is basically what makes web pages aesthetically pleasing and easy to use.
