The self-guided HTML lessons on w3schools.com were helpful in refreshing my of HTML coding and CSS styling. Each lesson began with a description of the subject matter at hand, a tutorial, and example code for you to practice the code yourself. The lessons taught skills regarding style attributes. These skills included adding title attributes, creating headings and paragraph text, preserving line breaks in text, adding quotations, adding links, and defining images. I walked myself through each lesson beginning with the tutorial first. I read the description of what each piece of code does and played with the example code before trying the exercises. Once I completed an exercise, I checked if my answer was correct and wrote a reflection on what I learned from each lesson. Each lesson taught a new skill. These skills included adding title attributes, creating headings and paragraph text, preserving line breaks in text, adding quotations, adding links, defining images, and other style attributes.
This HTML coding and CSS styling was very familiar to me. It did not take me long to complete each lesson as I have practiced such coding in previous web design classes. There was not many obstacles for me to come. However, some lessons did teach me new pieces of coding that I have not seen before. This code included the <pre> element for preserving line breaks or spaces in a body of text, style attributes for creating sub-scripted text, and the <abbr> element for creating abbreviations. My prior knowledge of web design paired with these HTML lesson refreshers has me feeling very confident in my coding skills. I am positive I can apply these skills to a real website in the near future such as the Greenspring Review.
