Day One

Something I learnt that I didn't know before about the process of coding (in terms of html vs. css):

  • Html is used to give the functional structure (probably not the best words) i.e. paragraphs, lists, headings, links, italics etc. 
  • Once html is completely done, validate to ensure it's clear of all errors (e.g. unclosed tags)
  • Then css can be used to apply the stylistic and compositional features of the page.
                



Now that I think about it, it's somewhat like typesetting a page. Where you paste your content, sort out the paragraphs and headings then apply the paragraph/character styles.

I like this methodical rhythm to the process.
